5 out of 5 stars

This is a wonderful anthology. It has stories that are romantic and includes cowboys that are both handsome and make you believe in true love. Each story was enjoyable to read and I found that I didn’t want to put the book down until I was finished. One of the reasons that I love anthologies so much is that it gives me an opportunity to find new authors. This story has six authors and this was the first time that I had read any of their stories. The book had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading. I enjoyed reading both about the main characters and I couldn’t help but find myself caring for them and wanting them to be happy. There are heartwarming moments included in these stories. Don’t miss out on a group of stories that will have you wishing for a cowboy under your mistletoe. I highly recommend reading this anthology.

Cowboy stories are not my go to reads but I love a good Christmas story so figured I would check out this anthology. I am familiar with a few of the authors and this was my introduction to others.

This anthology really does run the gamut of genres. There is military romance, second chances, faith, fate, and more. What each has in common is that it is a complete story with a beginning, middle and end and can be read as stand-alones, oh and of course Christmas. Who doesn’t love a wee Christmas miracle every now and again?

I feel like there was a good range of stories and story telling styles to keep me interested from beginning to end. While a couple were not what I would typically read (more than just involving a cowboy) I gave it a shot an was pleasantly surprised.

This is an anthology I would recommend to get one into the holiday spirit.

Who doesn’t love a good Cowboy story? Then add in the magic of Christmas! Sparkling Magic occurs! Below are my thoughts on each book:

A Cowboy for Christmas by Susan Fisher Davis is a wonderful to start the book. I loved this story because it was so sweet but also sad. Former Bullfighter and his best friends widow. I loved their connection but could easily see the conflict as well. This one brought out a few tears from me.

The Cowboys Christmas Hand by Leslie P Garcia was confusing to me. I struggled to make a romantic connection between the main characters. This does have a little suspense thrown in that made the story round out nicely.

Tempting the Cowboy by Melissa Keir. This one involves alcoholism and working on recovery. I usually enjoy this authors works but this one Seemed to sad for me to really get into the characters. It is filled with Hope and that’s a wonderful way to end it.

A Different Kind of Gift by Debbie Desmarteau. I loved how Nicholas was all in! He was very romantic, polite and kind And with the help of Lily he was able to get Destiny on a date. The Mom situation with Destiny was a wonderful add. Very Complex! I loved how things worked out and that her mom even became a friend and advocate for Destiny. This is one of my favorites and I would be interested in more from this author.

Saving a Cowboy by Stephanie Berget. While I enjoyed this story and the characters I felt the connection between Gina and Drew was pretty non existent. Gina seemed way to mannish and standoffish. I would have loved some sort of Femininity in her thoughts, actions or really anything. I get her aloneness and she did make giant steps forward. The family (brothers and wives) were wonderful additions. They added some fun and flair to the story.

Another favorite story is Noah’s Christmas Faith by D’Ann Lindun. It’s a lovely story between Faith and Noah. I could see and feel the romance building between them. I loved how This town is full of other characters stories. I can see them all with the random people Faith met around town even though I have not read them. The ending seemed a little rushed but that could be because I was at 99% and the couple were still in a disagreement. Maybe a little more closure would have worked or something. It was enjoyable and I would look into more from this author.

Overall this is a good collection of books. I have Even found some new authors to look Into. Enjoy!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Cowboy Under the Mistletoe Anthology by is a collection of Christmas Cowboy stories by 6 great and talented authors: Susan Fisher Davis, Leslie P. Garcia, Melissa Keir, Debbie Desmarteau, Stephanie Berget and D’Ann Lindun.

A Cowboy for Christmas is a sad yet heart-warming tale where Reid returns home after being away for a few years and finds himself face to face with the one person who woman who hates him and blamed him for the death of his best friend. What he finds is that opposite of what he was expecting and something that will change all their lives. It is beautifully written and will make you believe in love.

The Cowboy’s Christmas Hand is a lovely romance with a little suspense where we see a Ty returning to her childhood home, but everything has changed. The hardest thing she has ever done is come face to face with the man she once loved, a man that broke her heart. Church Trenton never knew why the love of his life walked away from everything they were to each other. Now that she has returned will he ever learn the truth that is if they can keep everything, they love safe?

Tempting the Cowboy is a story of addiction and pain and how you are only ever one step away from stepping back in to the life of an alcoholic but also one step away from stepping out when you receive a little flirtation. Both Johnson and his wife Debra know what it is to be an alcoholic, but Johnson has just lost his friend and sponsor which sends him in to self-doubt.

A Different Kind of Gift is a heart wrenching but beautiful story where Destiny has come to town to take over her grandmother’s shop as she is very sick. When a stranger enters the shop one day little does she know that he may make all her dreams come true. That is until Nickolas’s ex comes back to town, with a surprise hell bent on reclaiming what she sees as hers, with a surprise in tow.

Saving a Cowboy’s Christmas is a story that will cause a little heartache and where Drew’s life has been turned on its head by the woman he has loved forever, but is now really showing her claws. He is home trying to mend his broken heart when he comes across an old friend, who needs his help but it too proud to ask. Gina doesn’t need a man and certainly not the man who has decided to step in to her life.

Noah’s Christmas Faith is the story of Faith who avoids relationships like the plague. She does not want to get hurt so avoiding them is the best way. However, that doesn’t seem to work out so well when Noah seems to be working his way into her heart. Now all he has to do is prove he is trustworthy.

I love Christmas stories, and a box of six stories containing Christmas cheer and sexy Cowboys is right up my alley.

5-Stars

A Cowboy Under the Mistletoe Anthology was an excellent Collection of stories. These stories were written well with very few errors. Each story was creative and fun. I loved the romance in each. I also enjoyed the character development.

One story in particular that I enjoyed was by Author Melissa Keir. This was titled Tempting The Cowboy. I have read other Books by her and I love how she incorporates the current day Cowboy into them. I found it easy put myself in the setting of this book. Her characters struggle with temptation against an old addiction in her story. I really enjoyed it.

Over all this Anthology is easily worth its 5-Stars. The authors created amazing stories that would appeal to a various audience. I highly recommend this collection.

Its that time of year, my favorite, when the weather begins to turn a bit more crisp and the nights become longer. Things always seem to have a bit of a magical luster to them this time of year and what better way to enjoy a long cold night than to tuck in with a good light romance based in the best of all seasons, Christmas.

A Cowboy Under the Mistletoe is an anthology must have full of stories that will be sure to warm your heart when you need it the most. I loved that some of my favorite authors participated, but adored that I was able to read a few new authors as well. I believe that a cowboy alpha is one of the perfect scenarios for a love story, so throw in the holidays too and you have a magical mix. I found myself laughing, crying, and cheering for each of these couples. Each book was unique but they all played along with the anthology and nothing was done in a cheesy way. Something I always tend to find in anthologies is one book that just doesn’t fit in with the rest or is so over the top I can’t finish it. This wasn’t the case and I would give at least 4 if not 5 stars to each book. I hope this is a taste of what could be an annual favorite! The following books are included;

-A Cowboy For Christmas By: Susan Fisher Davis
-The Cowboy’s Christmas Hand By: Leslie Garcia
-Tempting the Cowboy By: Melissa Keir
-A Different Kind Of Christmas By: Debbie Desmarteau
-Saving a Cowboy’s Christmas By: Stephanie Bergot
-Noah’s Christmas Faith By: D’Ann Lindun

I do believe I loved this set so much that it will make a few Christmas gifts this season! Thanks for the lovely collection ladies!

Do you love Christmas? Do you love a good romance? Do you love a rugged man that probably looks mighty good in boots? This collection, hands down, is the perfect anthology for all lovers of romance and holiday themes. Each book in this collection was a fast and very enjoyable read for me.

I love holiday stories- and this book is packed with six stories celebrating all the wonderful qualities about this time of the year. Six fantastic authors have collaborated, to bring us a holiday collection full of romance- and COWBOYS! What a great mix!
This anthology brings together some wonderfully talented storytellers, who all have different styles and approaches to writing- each creating their own unique and individual story using the same theme to inspire them all- the inspiration being, Cowboys and Christmas.
Cowboy Under the Mistletoe is such a great read. I can honestly say that all the stories were really well written and very entertaining, and there were multiple favourites for me.
I have read a few of these author’s work before and have loved their books- Melisa Keir, D’Ann Lindun, and Leslie Garcia. But the other authors were new-to-me, so I really enjoyed exploring their work and adding them to my TBR. All the stories are really great- entirely captivating with wonderful plots, well developed characters, and infused with all those great Christmas ‘feels’.

The Anthology contains:

-A Cowboy For Christmas By: Susan Fisher Davis
-The Cowboy’s Christmas Hand By: Leslie Garcia
-Tempting the Cowboy By: Melissa Keir
-A Different Kind Of Christmas By: Debbie Desmarteau
-Saving a Cowboy’s Christmas By: Stephanie Bergot
-Noah’s Christmas Faith By: D’Ann Lindun

The stories cover a wide range of topics and elements- including drama, intrigue, heartache, emotion, second chances, new beginnings, forgiveness, love, loss, guilt, romance, tenderness, action, redemption, family, friendship, temptation, relationships, obstacles, hope, faith, friends to lovers, finding love unexpectedly, and plenty of surprises.
This is a book that has something to please everyone- especially for those who love holiday romances mixed with some sexy cowboys.
I really recommend this Anthology! It is worth every cent of the purchase price- six books in one…. Now that’s what I call a fantastic deal!
Happy Reading!

Thank you to all the contributing authors!

Leslie P. García grew up lost among a crowd of six siblings and a menagerie that included more than twenty horses and ponies, uncounted dogs and cats, possums, raccoons—even a lion and monkeys. Then she moved to Texas, fell in love, was disowned—and embarked on her real adventures, raising 4 children, teaching hundreds, and loving 9 grandkids through forty years of marriage. The fabric of that colorful life has always been writing. In A Love Beyond, Leslie celebrates two of her passions—unusual love stories and the ever present chance at redemption in spite of past mistakes. Leslie loves hearing from readers and can be found all over cyber space.

~ Melissa Keir ~

For my wedding in Vegas, my books and computer came with me but there wasn’t enough room for my wedding shoes. It’s all about priorities! As an avid reader, I was probably born with a book in hand. Luckily my mom was also an avid reader, so it was easy to “borrow” her books when my books were finished.

I was reading from an early age about dashing men on horseback riding to the rescue of strong willed and capable women who didn’t really need rescuing. I came to expect that women in fairy tales should have fought their own battles. When I was older, I found Margaret Atwood and realized that women could re-tell history in their own way and I experimented with changing those basic fairy tales.

Fortunately for me, my husband allows me the opportunity to be myself (spend my salary on books) and still takes care of the really important things for me like killing spiders and opening jars. As an elementary teacher, teaching children about the many worlds inside of books is a gift that I’m lucky enough to do for a living. Teaching the next generation to love reading is a lot of fun! Reading the right book can make a new world come alive!

Currently living in the near the South Carolina beaches with my darling husband, princess cat and spoiled dog, I enjoy getting away through a book to many different worlds.

I’d love to hear from you!

~ Debbie Desmarteau ~

I started writing years ago, something I had wanted to do most of my life. Then it all stopped. It took good friends and reassuring encouragement to start again. So glad I did!

When I’m not writing, I get immense pleasure in stocking my shelves with home canned goods. I love to experiment with new recipes using the fresh herbs and veggies I grow. My goal is to publish a cook book someday, with all the different dishes I’ve created and to share my family secrets. Whether it’s about a love inspired romance or cooking, creating a story and sharing it with you is a dream come true.

I would love hearing from you!

~ Stephanie Berget ~

Stephanie Berget was born loving horses, a ranch kid trapped in a city girl’s body. It took her twelve years to convince her parents she needed a horse of her own. She found her way to rodeo when she married her own, hot cowboy. She and the Bronc Rider traveled throughout the Northwest while she ran barrels and her cowboy rode bucking horses. She started writing to put a realistic view of rodeo and ranching into western romance. Stephanie and her husband live on a farm, located along the Oregon/Idaho border. They raise hay, horses and cattle, with the help of Dizzy Dottie, the Border Collie and Cisco, barrel and team roping horse extraordinaire.

~ D’Ann Lindun ~

Falling in love with romance novels the summer before sixth grade, D’Ann Lindun never thought about writing one until many years later when she took a how-to class at her local college. She was hooked! She began writing and never looked back. Fifty manuscripts and numerous awards later, she is an Amazon bestseller! Romance appeals to D’Ann because there’s just something so satisfying about writing a book guaranteed to have a happy ending. Her particular favorites usually feature cowboys and the women who love them.

D’Ann loves to hear from readers!
