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.
