Review:
Cowboys For Christmas is an anthology by three authors..Terri Osburn, Liz Talley and Kim Law. The premise of this story revolves around three childhood best friends, who come together to attend the Christmas wedding of one of them. The three stories concentrate on each of the girls; Claire, Georgia and Mary Catherine, with each having their own issues. These are pure romance storlines, that are quick and fun reads. Novellas are hard to review, as I do not want to give spoilers. I will try to give my thoughts on each novella within this anthology.

Love Me, Cowboy by Terri Osburn:
As a teenager, Claire was always conscious of her weight problem. Now years later, when she returns home, she is slim, but unconsciously does not recognize how beautiful she looks. When she sees Mary Catherine’s brother, Tyler, Claire remembers the one night years ago, when they were both drunk and had sex. Tyler is a sexy rodeo star, who has never forgotten Claire. What follows is very nice story of Tyler trying to convince Claire that she is beautiful, and he has always loved her, despite her fears about her weight. It is a cute story, both Tyler and Claire were wonderful together.

Kiss Me, Cowboy by Liz Talley:
Georgia was the poor girl of the three, but she is also the sexiest, outspoken and most successful, having been a model and volleyball coach. She has never gotten over feeling inadequate, and she wants nothing to do with her old hick town, or any cowboy. Almost immediately her car breaks down and Reed comes to her rescue. Georgia avoids him like the plague, as he is the town Vet…Mr. Nice Guy. But in Georgia’s mind, he is a cowboy and she wants out of this town as soon as Mary Catherine is married. But slowly her wall will begin to crumble, as Reed shows her how the love of one man can change everything. Reed was the perfect man for Georgia, as he was a sweetheart. Georgia was not only funny, independent, but very sexy. The two of them together were super and I loved the ending. This was my favorite short story.

Marry Me, Cowboy by Kim Law:
Mary Catherine is the bride to be. She is preparing for her marriage to Dr. Brad, who has always been her friend, and together they have planned their future. But Mary Catherine has never forgotten Jax, the town bad boy, whom her family (mostly her arrogant step mother) forced her to drop. Both Claire and Georgia try to convince Claire that Brad is not the one for her. He is career oriented, and her life would be dull, since she truly does not love him.   But she is determined to wed Brad, and not think about the sexy hot Jax. As we go down to the wire, Mary Catherine learns more about Jax, and how he has changed his life. Will she give in to her feelings or marry the safe, Brad?   You will need to read this book to find out.

Cowboys for Christmas, were three nice romances that blended together. Each author wrote their story, and it all took place within the short time prior to the wedding at Christmas. If you enjoy romances, sexy cowboys, three best friends who want their HEA, and a fast read, then look no further then Cowboys for Christmas.

Sugar Springs
SUGAR SPRINGS by Kim Law

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date- December 24, 2012

Lee Ann London once had big plans…scholarship, college, love. Then she found herself raising her deceased sister’s twin girls when their father disappeared. Now, with her beautiful girls, a community that depends on her, and her photography studio finally taking off, Lee Ann may not have the life she’d imagined, but it’s definitely where she wants it. Until Cody, her bad-boy ex, returns to Sugar Springs…

Cody’s childhood put a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas. Bouncing around the foster care system, he was always the one to leave before anyone left him first. Then he found a place he wanted to stick. Lee Ann was the best thing that ever happened to him. Only, he hurt her. Bad. He’s back now, and determined to earn her forgiveness…and maybe win back her love while he’s at it

*******************

REVIEW: SUGAR SPRINGS is a contemporary romance novel written by Kim Law with all the usual push and pull of bad-boy does the town sweetheart wrong.

Kim Law takes us on a journey of heartbreak and sorrow at the hands of one man-namely Cody Dalton. Cody has been running all of his life-from foster home to foster home, then from the only woman he ever loved. When the reality of his life came crashing down around him, Cody made a major error in judgment that affected the rest of his life-as well as Lee Ann’s. But in all fairness, Cody was oblivious to the knowledge and information that he had fathered twin girls with a reckless one-night stand. Cody never ran from his responsibilities-he just never knew they existed. Cody’s betrayal would shape Lee Ann’s world for the rest of her life.

Lee Ann London never regretted the life she now led. Raising her nieces as her own, motherhood was difficult but she had the support of her mother and the entire small town of Sugar Springs. But Cody’s reappearance after nearly thirteen years made her question her true feelings about the man who broke her heart. The attraction was still there but memories of past indiscretions continued to replay with every heart-tugging encounter. There is sexual tension as well as the inevitable acknowledgement of a love that was never forgotten, but with it comes a whole new set of rules meant to protect and guard one’s heart.

In true contemporary romance style, Lee Ann will struggle with her feelings for the man she believes abandoned his children and left for places unknown. When the truth is finally revealed, Lee Ann’s heart remains damaged when Cody is reluctant to stay in one place for too long. Cody would have to make a decision-and someone would have to compromise-but in the end-isn’t that what all relationships are about.

Sugar Springs has an assortment of secondary characters that add an interesting flavor to the story line-especially the long line of town gossips who seem to be up in everybody’s business. And life in a small town is further complicated when people’s eyes do not always see what they are looking at. There is a build up for another storyline and there is a happily ever after-for now. If you like small-town romances where a broken heart finally mends, Sugar Springs is the read for you.
