I’ve been reading a lot of “sweet romance” lately and this one has a “closed door” scene so I’m not sure it how it would be classified, but I would NOT be embarrassed recommending to my elderly mother’s book club.
Copper Mills seems to be a typical small town with personalities and allegiences that run deep.
In ONLY THIS TUESDAY we are introduced to the Mayor of Copper Mills and one of it’s beautiful residents. It’s a quick read and I read every word from beginning to end.
I appreciated the diversity of characters. The fact that people of different abilities and the families who care for them are handled with Grace and dignity.
I absolutely have added this series to my “must read” pile.

Only This Tuesday: A Copper Mills Novella By: Melissa Keir 5 out of 5 stars
The novella Only This Tuesday is a wonderful romance story. It has the amazing characters of Tuesday Benson and Blake Rodgers who I loved reading about. Tuesday is a patient, kind, and caring person. She has come to Copper Mills to escape her past. She operates the food truck Tuesday’s Tacos. She is also one that enjoys giving young people opportunities and that is why she offers a job to a local youth in town. She then finds herself in an unexpected situation. Blake is the mayor of Copper Mills. He loves the small town and does everything he can to make sure that it is a wonderful place to live. He also has ideas that keep the tourist trade growing. When he first meets Tuesday there is an instant attraction that forms. He finds himself thinking of her constantly. Tuesday guards her heart. She, however, can’t stop thinking about Blake. While she normally keeps her heart hidden there seems to be a small crack in the wall she has around it. Will this couple act on their feelings for one another and become more than friends? Will any relationship that they have survive bigotry, gossip, and an ex-girlfriend? Will they find happiness and an HEA? Read this story to find out. This is a wonderfully written book that once I started reading I didn’t want to put down. There are additional characters that you are introduced to who work and own businesses in the town. I enjoyed reading about their part in the story and also how they interact with Tuesday and Blake. This is a book would highly recommend reading.

Only This Tuesday: A Copper Mills Novella By Melissa Keir Rated 4 stars
This is a cute story from the town of Cooper Mills. I was intrigued by the synopsis. I liked that it was about a food truck owner. Tuesday is a great character and she has heart. She does a lovely thing for a young man. She is intelligent, a quick thinker, and loves small town life. I enjoyed how she met the mayor. Very funny! Blake was an interesting guy. Being the mayor has its good and bad sides. I enjoyed how he loved the town and the people who live there. I loved how he acted like a teenager once he met Tuesday. Then again how excited Blake was when Tuesday said “yes” to a dinner date. Soo excited! It made me smile!
This book is a good solid story that is easy to read and moves along at a quick pace. I liked the characters but didn’t really feel a “connection” to them. This is filled with some fun and goofy times as well as a brief touch on a more serious topic. Good read!

Tuesday Benson sets out to escape her past. A thieving boyfriend. A bankrupt restaurant. Memories of her brother. She’s started over in Copper Mills with a taco truck more popular than most of the local eateries. But when Tuesday hires a local boy to help, will she stir up something more than a tasty treat?
Mayor Blake Rodgers enjoys the simple things in life. An early morning jog. Down-home cooking. The camaraderie of the small-town residents. With his help, Copper Mills has become a trendy tourist destination. But when Blake falls for the controversial food-truck owner, will he lose the town’s backing?
Toss in bigotry and gossip as well as the mayor’s former fiancée, and you have a recipe for disaster.
Come Visit Copper Mills, Arizona–a small town with a heart as big as the wide-open spaces and a long history of making dreams come true
Melissa Keir has always wanted to be an author when she wasn’t hoping for a career as a racecar driver. Her love of books was instilled by her mother and grandparents who were avid readers. She’d often sneak books away from them so that she could fantasize about those strong alpha males and plucky heroines.
Melissa doesn’t believe in down time. She’s always keeping busy. Melissa is a wife and mother, an elementary school teacher, a movie reviewer with WHMI (a local radio station), owner of a publishing company as well as an author. Her home blends two families and is a lot like the Brady Bunch, without Alice- a large grocery bill, tons of dirty dishes and a mound of laundry. She loves to write stories that feature happy endings and is often seen plotting her next story.

This was such a sweet and fun little anthology! It was a perfect weekend “getaway” read. At just under five hundred pages collectively, it was easy to devour quickly for an anthology. A trait that I definitely loved for an anthology. Each author was a completely new author to me so it was quite nice to get to know some new ones to add to my TBR list for the future.
Each story is different but all have the same common concept… Hot and steamy cowboys, and there really wasn’t a single one that I didn’t fall for. Strap in ladies because this is going to be one fun read! Each of the stories are listed below, but for all the juicy details you will have to one-click and read all those for yourself! Happy reading!

Cowboy: Claimed is a wonderful Anthology by six talented authors. These authors all have different styles and approaches to writing, and each story is unique and individual- but they all have the same theme as inspiration for each of their stories- and that is, sexy cowboys. I went into this book not really knowing what to expect, because all six of these authors are new-to-me, but I have come out the other side, totally impressed and entertained. All the stories are superbly done- quite engrossing, with wonderful plotting, well developed characters- and all were entirely enjoyable. I am always excited when I get to explore the work of authors I’ve never read before, especially wen I love what I find and can add their work to my TBR. The Anthology contains:
Rescue Love By: Melissa Keir.
Snow Bird Springs: TROY By: Cheryl Gorman
Upstaging the Cowboy By: Leslie P. Garcia
Cowboy Kind of Forgiveness By: Becca Turner
Reverence By: Lyssa Layne
Cowboy Proud By: D’Ann Lindun
Buckle up and be prepared for an enjoyable ride- where you will discover some drama, suspense, danger, heartache, emotion, second chances, new beginnings, forgiveness, love, loss, romance, light-hearted and tender moments, some action, and surprises….And you will enjoy, Every. Single. Minute! I really recommend this Anthology- you won’t regret buying it! It is worth every cent of the purchase price- six books in one…. #winning!

This is a set of six books and six sexy romance stories that are quick and easy reads. I must say that there was not one story that I did not like and each and every author is just as good as the next. There are lots of emotions in each book that range from laughter to heart wrenching and some have a little mystery to them but each and everyone will have you intrigued and engrossed are definite page turners.

Cowboy: Claimed is a fantastic selection of stories that I really enjoyed. All of the authors featured were new to me so I found that really exciting to be able to find some new authors to love. All of the stories were really well written and there is definitely something for everybody in this box set. I do have a little soft spot for cowboys so I think this box set was always going to be one I would enjoy. There were stories about second chances, learning how to love again and much more. These cowboys are definitely worthy of reading about! Through this box set I have definitely found some new authors to explore and I look forward to reading more of their work again in the future. I definitely recommend this box set of stories – there is something for everyone in here!

CONFESSION: Western and/or Cowboy Romance are generally not my jam. I’m more of a contemporary romance reader because being from the Northeast I have preconceived notions about Westerns and Cowboys. Boy did this anthology prove me wrong.
These are all new to me authors and each weaves a tale that left me wanting more. From Musicians to Marines, Divas to Dogs, this anthology has a bit of it all. Some seem to be part of a much larger picture and others are a full novel in a short story.
Instead of highlighting passages, I found myself highlighting authors who I want to add to my ‘check this author out’ list. I look forward to reading more from these authors in the future.

Cowboy: Claimed by Melissa Keir (Author), Cheryl Gorman (Author), Leslie P. Garcia (Author), Becca Turner (Author), Lyssa Layne (Author), D’Ann Lindun (Author) 5 out of 5 stars
The anthology Cowboy: Claimed is a wonderful set of stories that include cowboys and romance. I found myself not able to put them down for long once I started. I just had to know how they ended. They had my emotions going up and down as I read about how the main characters of each story interact with each other. Most find themselves thrown together by circumstance while others reconnect. They find that they have a desire to be with each other and their attraction to each other is undeniable. Will their feelings for each other lead to them getting an HEA? Read these stories to find out. There is heartbreaking moments in the stories as well as heartwarming ones. Sometimes forgiveness is needed to move on and other times just the main characters meeting is enough to start them down their path. I also loved reading about the additional characters that are introduced in each story. I love to read anthologies as I always get to discover new authors. All of these authors have created amazing and wonderful reads that I will not soon forget. I have only recently started reading more in the western genre and I find that it is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Don’t miss out on this anthology. Highly recommended.

This is a collection of short stories that are written by some great authors. Some are new to me while others are some of my favorites.

Now he’s on the run, without money, a phone, or a credit card. With a killer on their tail, four mischievous pups, and many miles of highway, what could go wrong?

But when he meets Alex, she touches a nerve he doesn’t want touched and makes him long for a family of his own. Because of his background, he doesn’t believe he is good enough.

UPSTAGING THE COWBOY by Leslie P. Garcia
Can a former Marine and a Hollywood diva facing apocalyptic changes in their lives salvage new beginnings together? When Stone Winters joined the Marines, he always meant to come home. A woman’s impossible dream kept him away so long that he doesn’t think there’s anything left—especially not when he meets Price Adams, a film star with another impossible dream. He just doesn’t think he’s up for that again. Price Adams traded in a childhood on her grandparents’ ranch for Hollywood glitz in spite of being a teenage mother. Torn between the stardom she won and full-time custody of her daughter, she accepts one last role—in Cowboy Apocalypse, an inane movie about zombies being filmed on ranches around deep south Texas. Burned by men more times than she can remember, Price doesn’t want a man in her life—especially not one who looks down on her career and the courage she needs to let it all go.
