About the Book
Title: A Cameo for the Cowgirl
Series: Three Creek Ranch #1
Author: Carolyn Miller
Publisher: Independently Published
Release Date: June 14, 2024
Genre: Christian Romantic Comedy
Welcome to Three Creek Ranch, home of the James family for over a hundred years, complete with its own Western movie set.
Franklin James might be a famous pro hockey player, but just because he's Cassie's older brother doesn't mean she wants to step into the limelight. She's too busy helping her dad run the ranch and managing the ranch's movie set, and negotiating with the giant egos of movie stars like Harrison Woods, who's supposed to be filming the new TV series of As The Heart Draws. And while his TV hero characters might be hugely popular, Harrison's real character seems anything but noble. Cassie is convinced he's hiding something, and that this diva's nice guy moments are just an act.
Can she remind him what being a true hero is all about?

My Review
5 stars
Carolyn Miller writes a fresh inspirational western romance with engaging, realistic characters.
I loved many things about this novel. The setting and set up of using a western backlot set on a Canadian ranch hooked me from the opening lines. I instantly felt Cassie’s plight.
Harrison’s character experienced a dramatic transformation between the opening lines and the end of the book. Though he initially comes across like a jerk to others, his internal monologue reveals an awareness of it and a desire to change which had me rooting for him.
The chemistry between Cassie and Harrison starts out somewhat antagonistically. They both struggle with leaving the tension in their relationship alone and desire to improve their interactions.
I particularly enjoyed the awkward and funny scenes the author devised to throw the two characters together. Marvelously done!
Fans of Christian western romance, inspirational romance, and clean & wholesome romance will enjoy this engaging and occasionally funny story.
Romance: Very clean descriptions of attraction. Light kissing.
Faith: Return to Christian faith for one character. The other character sought to apply her faith and listen to the wise counsel of her family.
