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

This story was such a joy to read! The meet cute and subsequent times that Harrison and Cassie had run ins on the set and on the ranch were so fun to observe. Realizing that Harrison had jumped to the wrong conclusion about who Cassie was added to the enjoyment in those early meetups.

The author created believable interest and attraction between the two main characters and dealt with the reality that Harrison was not a believer. I liked that Cassie was strong enough to realize that she needed to be careful regarding falling for Harrison if he didn’t have the same beliefs are she did. And I also appreciated that Cassie began to realize that the way she had been reacting in frustration to Harrison was an indication that she was not living out her faith in the way she probably should. She had growing to do, just as he did.

Harrison was quite the character! He had some serious and raw pain from his childhood, along with good memories of his grandmother, who had been a godly woman. I liked seeing the change in him as the story progressed.

This is the first book in a new series, but I like the way it is connected to Hannah and Franklin’s story in Fire and Ice, with Cassie and Franklin being siblings. The author did a great job of incorporating some other characters from various stories, too. You can, also, easily enjoy this book without having read the other books where some of these characters appear. But for those of us who have read the other books, it is really fun to catch up with some of these characters. I’m looking forward to reading more books in this series.
