Jump into Carolyn Miller’s new Western series with “A Cameo for a Cowgirl” (review & GA, ends 6/19/24)

#sponsor #partner

The marvelous Carolyn Miller, who’s written some of my favorite books, has begun a brand-new series set in Canada, on a working ranch that doubles as a Western town for film and tv. In the first book of the Three Creek Ranch, A Cameo for a Cowgirl, we get to meet Cassie, daughter of the ranch and cowgirl-of-all-trades on it. But we also get to meet a Hollywood heartthrob–Harrison Woods–whom Cassie doesn’t like. At all.

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for A Cameo for a Cowgirl by Carolyn Miller, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

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 thoughts

Harrison is on Three Creek Ranch to film a continuing series, “As the Heart Draws.” He’s a nice guy, Harrison–but he has his own difficulties and past pain that still impact his daily life. And maybe there is an event (or two) that makes him seem like a diva. And Cassie cannot get past that. Despite her faith in God and training in turning the other cheek, Cassie REALLY dislikes this guy. And sort of picks a (verbal) fight with him whenever they end up in the same area. Maybe her conscience is prickling her a little. But honestly, she is so busy–helping her dad run the ranch, being the point person for the filming crew, and caring for the costumes and incidentals–not to mention organizing her brother’s wedding–that hearing God’s voice is hard above all the noise.

Harrison’s thoughts about Cassie are pretty much just as dismissive. She seems like a wannabe…something. Maybe a wannabe cowgirl! When he is sure she is just a props and costume person tagging along for the film. Why is she wearing that cowboy hat and boots? Please.

There’s a lot going on with these two, who keep getting thrown together (though they are certainly going out of their ways to keep that from happening) by circumstances. Perhaps God just might have something going on after all.

You will absolutely love Carolyn Miller’s A Cameo for a Cowgirl. The characters are wonderful, even as they’re not so winning as the book begins. But everyone is on a journey. Watching this duo is a joy, as we get to see not only their outsides, but what’s going on inside them as well. I’m thrilled that this is the start of a new series–we will get more of Harrison, Cassie, and her two sisters!

Enjoy! –Wren
