I’m a hopeless romantic. Perhaps that is why I’m such a fan of Jennifer Ryan and rarely miss one of her books. TRUE LOVE COWBOY is another example of love, trust, and devotion making a difference in someone’s life. Life doesn’t necessarily run smoothly. Everyone hits rough patches. What matters is how you land. And in TRUE LOVE COWBOY, landing is very important - especially to Trinity and Jon.
Trinity is the closest thing to a human angel you will find. This extraordinary woman’s goal seems to be helping folks manage their busy lives with a healthy, delicious meal. Eat in or take out doesn’t matter. Trinity provides foods that are healthy for body and soul.

Trinity herself is the bearer of good tidings in so many ways. Through her impromptu home deliveries, she gets to meet and help those unable to avail themselves of her meals. That’s how she meets Dennis. And Trinity now finds herself enmeshed in Dennis and his family, most specifically his son Jon and granddaughter Emmy.

Jon is a busy guy. He has several businesses running in concert. He also takes care of Emmy his four-year-old daughter. And now Jon returns home to his father’s ranch looking forward to having a place to breathe. Unfortunately, Jon couldn’t leave all his problems behind, but he really didn’t have a choice. He was aware of the lack of motherly instincts of Emmy’s mom. Between work and filling in the gap with Emmy, Jon was quickly getting burned out. Moving back home seemed to be a solution.
Arriving home Jon realized it wasn’t just Emmy he had unfortunately neglected. His father was aging and needed his help adjusting to changes. The family ranch needed Jon’s attention as well. Emmy was acting up - probably due to lack of parenting from her mother. 

Well, here’s where Trinity enters the picture. Trinity’s caring and love are just what Jon and his Emmy desperately need. But Trinity has some demons of her own to conquer. The question is whether Jon can make Trinity’s needs another priority into his demanding life. It is surely what she deserves.
There are times when you want to reach out into the pages and give Jon a good hearty shake. He is understandably frazzled dealing with a demanding, selfish, and rather immature ex-girlfriend, and guilty over being a part-time father to Emmy. But there are times you wish Jon would be more assertive. Depending on Trinity to fill the void in his own life just isn’t fair.

In TRUE LOVE COWBOY Jennifer Ryan paints the lead male character with a gray brush. In contrast, the lead female is bright and shiny. Neither is truly accurate. And in TRUE LOVE COWBOY we learn to see subtleties.
