A Cowboy Under the Mistletoe By: by Susan Fisher Davis (Author), Leslie P. Garcia (Author), Melissa Keir (Author), Debbie Desmarteau (Author), Stephanie Berget (Author), D’Ann Lindun (Author) 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!

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’ve had the pleasure of reading other books from Keir and Lindun before and their contributions to this anthology definitely didn’t disappoint. Loved it from beginning to end. A definite must read!
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!

~ Leslie Garcia ~
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.
Gamble on a Cowboy by Melissa Keir and D’Ann Lindun. I really enjoyed both the stories, they each pulled at my heart and I loved the female characters, I just love strong female leads who are independent but open to possibilities. Each story had me hooked, I only wished to have more time with the characters. There’s plenty of heartwarming and steamy moments and characters to love. Each story may be shorter but they didn’t lack anything important for me. I still loved the characters and story. Each well written and paced nicely. Five star read in my opinion! You won’t regret picking this up!

Gamble on a Cowboy by Melissa Keir and D’Ann Lindun 5 stars
This is a two story book. Both were fast paced and quick reads.
A Vegas Cowboy- David aka Daisy, was quickly liked by me and i really felt for him from his short background story. Things take an interesting turn out on the town and he must confront new feelings.
Vegas,Baby,Vegas- A woman in a man dominated profession gets recognized alot and also stepped on for things but when someone catches her eye, and not in a good way, in her mind at least, Bailey must make quick decisions . I really liked Bailey except for her one big mistake.
This was a great collection to read, and I love the sneak peaks at other works by these authors. I will be reading more for sure!

This book was a fast read for me but really good. The two main characters are David “Daisy” and Alicia. The accidentally meet at a conference in Las Vegas. Alicia was there as a keynote speaker and Daisy was there to attend the conference as a restaurant owner. Daisy and Alicia literally run into each other at the airport then Daisy saves her poolside from an aggressive stranger. Deciding to have a few drinks and go out for the evening to thank Daisy. The next morning both wake up with extreme hangovers and no memory of the previous night, but do discover quickly they are married. Trying to undo what they have done is not as easy as they thought and their attraction to each other is off the charts. Daisy is struggling after losing his first wife and daughter in a house robbery years ago and Alicia isn’t sure what to do about Daisy. This was a great book and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Gamble On A Cowboy by authors Melissa Keir and D’Ann Lindun
5-Stars
Gamble On A Cowboy consists of two short romance stories featuring Las Vegas and Cowboys. The lead female in each story is very independent, confident, and driven. The lead males were both attractive and focused. Each character was dedicated and passionate about their career choices and I loved that they meshed easily with each of the ladies careers. The storyline of each was easy to follow and difficult to put down. I found it easy to get carried away and mixed up in the drama and romance. This compilation was such a fun read and I definitely recommend it.

4 Stars
I so wanted more of each of these stories, there just wasn’t enough time to build the connection to these characters as I would have liked. I did though enjoy the storylines and the writing in both stories was smooth and very easy to follow its just that they were both so short that everything happened a bit too fast for me.
Both stories were unique in their own right and I read both of them in one sitting. It was absolutely enough though for me to want more from both authors. This was my first read by D’Ann Lindun and I want to say my 3rd or 4th by Melissa Keir and I will be looking into more from both of them.
I do recommend anyone wanting to read something quick that they should pick this up, definitely fast moving and will leave you craving more.

I’m typically not a fan of “western romance” or cowboys (probably because I’m a city girl at heart and it is like reading a foreign language) but I decided to take a chance on this 2 story collection. I’m glad I did, because I found both stories enjoyable.
I’m not sure what the connection is between the two authors but for as much as their writing style was similar, it was also very different. Both stories had lovely main characters with backstories that made them be who they are today. Both stories had strong women who weren’t afraid to be a woman in a “man’s world”.
These stories have surprise and tenderness and romance and sexy times. They also had miscommunications and angst and everything that makes a romance fun to read.
Side note: When I read the blurb and there was mention about taking stock to market, I was thinking the “financial market” I was wrong. Hehe
I will be reading stories by both of these authors in the future and recommend this collection.

Gamble on a Cowboy by Melissa Keir & D’Ann Lindun is a combination of 2 great books by 2 amazing authors. These books were a great way introduce me to two new series. It gave a great insight into what they would be like. They were both lighthearted and easy to read, a great snapshot of what else is to come. The characters were all interesting and easy to connect with. Although short the stories had depth and held my interest well. I have read Melissa Keir before so knew I would enjoy her work however D’Ann was new to me and I liked the way she had pace and the book had a good flow about it. I will be checking out more from both of these authors in the future for sure.

This fast page turner was just what the doctor ordered. Cowboys and romance – yes please! Thoroughly enjoyed these two short stories from the authors and felt they were well written and paired together well. All in all I only found myself disappointed that each story wasn’t longer. Very enjoyable.

Gamble on a Cowboy was a fabulous read! I have read stories by Melissa Keir previously and I knew I loved her writing but I was also really looking forward to reading work by D’Ann Lindun – a new to me author! Well I think I can definitely add her to my new list of authors to love! I have a soft spot for western romance stories and both of these definitely hit the spot!! Both of these novella’s would have been equally as amazing as full length novels – I was impressed with how the authors managed to cram so much into their short stories, I wasn’t left wanting more, well I was only because they were brilliant reads and not because I felt like I was missing anything. I really liked all of the characters, I thought that they were all really likeable and I connected with them all. I would absolutely recommend these two wonderful short, sweet romance reads, I don’t think you will be disappointed!

Gamble on a Cowboy by Melissa Keir and D’Ann Lindun is a contemporary (western) romance. In this book, you will have A Vegas Cowboy by Melissa Keir and Vegas, Baby, Vegas by D’Ann Lindun. Both of these authors are excellent authors on their own; the combination of these two stories were perfectly fit. In A Vegas Cowboy, this is truly a second chance romance and the characters were stunning. I found the story line to be enlightening, fun and pleasant to read. The main characters were well established and raw. In Vegas, Baby, Vegas, the reader is given a bit more country feel to the story, but no less excellent in its imagery. The characters were right on pace, along with an energetic feeling plot and sequence of events. I enjoyed both of these stories!

Gamble on a Cowboy Melissa Keir and D’Ann Lindun was engaging, sweet, steamy, heart string pulling read, that was down right fun as hell.
A short read, with two quick but well rounded stories was something to behold. Both authors managed to pack a lot into their respective stories and I wish they were longer. Both could have been easily a full size novel. Their talent shown through and I will be checking out their other works.
As for the stories, and since they are quick, anything would give away the magic. I will tell you that, the writing is smooth, top shelf, and full of heart and emotions. Especially that first read, man, how can such a short read squeeze my heart so? It had that perfect balance of sweet, heart melty, and fun. Add in two very well-rounded characters and you got an enjoyable read, that will have you wanting more. The second novella, was different enough while keeping with the theme, that you didn’t feel like you were reading the same story twice. That second read, has drama, hot steamy romance, and a bit of a mystery that keeps you on your toes. Like the first there are two very well-rounded interesting characters, that just leap off the pages.
Overall this book will have you hooked, laughing, emotional, all while needing a fan from those hot moments. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will not be disappointed.

Gamble on a Cowboy by Melissa Keir and D’Ann Lindun are two stories that are western romances that tugged at my heartstrings. A Vegas Cowboy by Melissa Keir and Vegas, Baby, Vegas by D’Ann Lindun had me hooked and loved the journey between the characters that was both sweet and sexy and the telling of their stories is well done.
A Vegas Cowboy – Daisy has been barely living from a tragedy that stole the loves of his life but when a chance encounter at an airport spikes his interest, he starts to wonder if maybe there could be more. Waking up the next morning he gets more than he bargained for.
Vegas, Baby, Vegas – Bailey McKlellan is making it in a mans cutthroat business but one man seems determined to make his mark know, in more than one way. Along the way Bailey is faced with a life changing decision but what happens when that secret comes to life?
They are both sexy, heartfelt and lovely stories that have lots of steam and sizzling moments and they will definitely capture your heart.

Gamble On A Cowboy is a fantastic book comprised of two captivating western romances written by Melissa Keir and D’Ann Lindun. These two talented authors have teamed up to each bring us a story centred around Cowboys and Vegas. The stories are well written, romantic, sweet, touching and emotional. The book contains:
A Vegas Cowboy By: Melissa Keir
Alicia Cortez has just arrived in Vegas for the National Restaurateurs Convention as the keynote speaker. She’s an expert at turning failing businesses around and making them profitable and successful. When she takes a tumble leaving the airport, a very sexy stranger saves her from what could have been a very painful landing. Little does she suspect that in only a matter of hours she will wake up married to the hunk. How could that happen in such a short time? Well that’s the magic of Vegas! David MacKenzie is in Vegas to accept an award. He hopes that the recognition will bring his small-town restaurant some extra attention and is also a chance for him to expand his marketing. He loved his restaurant and small town life, but things weren’t the same since his wife and daughter died 6 years ago. To keep his mind off things, he channelled all his time and energy into the business, so he certainly wasn’t interested in another relationship- he’d had his chance at love, then it was snatched away. So, how does he end up married? If you love cowboys, Vegas, Second chances, love at first sight, humour, funny banter, emotion, and quick, easy reads- then this is definitely a story for you!
Vegas, Baby, Vegas By: D’Ann Lindun
For Bailey McKlellen and Maverick Cartwright, it was sparks and steam right from the moment they crossed paths. He irritated her just as much as he attracted her. She was determined to carry on with business and not let him distract or undermine her. As a female stock contractor, she’d worked hard to earn her respected reputation, and she wasn’t going to let some handsome new-comer take that away from her. But the guy is a thorn in her side, and an itch she needs to scratch. So, after a few drinks one night, she decides the best way to get him out of her head and get back to business, is to ‘hook-up’ with him- then he’d be out of her system. But things don’t work out that way, and her night of passion gives her much more than she ever expected. Add some sabotage, a little danger, some angst, drama, tension, chemistry, and a little mystery- and this story really takes off. Ms. Lindun delivers a steamy, heart-warming read!

I didn’t realize that these are novellas with whole series attached. I really enjoyed the stories and it turned up my interest in looking into the series. Each story is well written and flowed very nicely. It was easy to fall in love with the characters. They were fun and flirty which made me smile. Cowboy stories are some of my favorite romances. There are so many avenues that can be taken. Both of these stories fall into the rodeo side of being a cowboy. In these we have a former bullfighter turned restaurant owner as well as a female stock contractor vs a male stock contractor. Both are equally full of some interesting main characters as well as a few secondary ones.
These are great for a quick read or an introduction to a couple new authors. I really enjoyed each of them. They made me smile and feel happy which is what I want when reading a romance.

This book has two heartfelt stories that will pull at your heartstrings. I enjoyed both books. They are about two women who will either take a chance at love or a chance a broken hearts. They took me on an emotional ride that was steamy in parts and heartwarming in others. They have chemistry and attraction with the steamy men. The characters made me feel as if I was part of the story. They are independent, strong and lovable. I highly recommend these books, you won’t regret picking it up.
