IF I COULD WRITE A REVIEW....

 By Celia Yeary

I write romances under my real name--Celia Yeary. But I write a few reviews under a made-up name of Rising Star Reviews. I would love to write a review for the newest PRP Anthology, but one of the stories in the group is mine. That wouldn't be the right thing to do, would it? Write a Five Star Review for Cowboy Cravings and put it on Amazon when one of the stories belongs to me?

I thought not.

And so, I take this opportunity--since the co-owner of PRP, Cheryl Pierson, said I could blog about anything--to review the anthology.

Five authors wrote a short story about a man and a woman in the West and how they fell in love. This is the common theme required for a Western Romance. But within that theme, the stories are as varied as varieties of... Blue Bell Ice Cream--The Best Little Creamery in Texas with the slogan: "We eat all we can, and sell the rest."

So, here goes:

Blurb:

Craving a cowboy on these hot summer nights? Here are four stories that are sure to turn up the heat! If you love tall, dark, and handsome cowboys with a touch of danger thrown in, and the ladies that show them they've met their match, COWBOY CRAVINGS is a must have! Fast guns, smooth action, and hot love sizzle in one delicious recipe for these spicy stories! The summer has never been hotter in the old west than it is when you have to satisfy those COWBOY CRAVINGS!
 

HEARTS AND DIAMONDS—Cheryl Pierson

Revenge sets Nick Diamond after a bride, and nothing will stand in his way. But when that bride happens to be outspoken firebrand Liberty Blankenship, all bets are off. Anything can happen when Hearts and Diamonds collide!

~*~Five Bowls of TIN ROOF ICE CREAM describes Nick and Liberty--"When a tough nut to crack covered in a dark irresistible sweet covering collides with a wild rich fudge swirl, the combination is completely irresistible!"

STARR BRIGHT—Celia Yeary
A stubborn rancher, a Spanish beauty...and the Texas summer heats up.

~*~Five Bowls of ITALIAN CREAM CAKE ICE CREAM describes Conrad and Starr--"Looks smooth and cool, but inside, the Italian cream cake, coconut, roasted pecans, and cream cheese icing mix it up for a sensational taste!"

LILY AND MESQUITE JOE—Kristy McCaffrey
Lily Kingston has long loved Mesquite Joe Riordan. Facing the truth of his past will test her resolve, but only her stubbornness can win his heart.

~*~Five Bowls of ROCKY ROAD ICE CREAM  says timeless like Lily's pure love for Joe--"Sweet, dark, with hard patches, but the white sweet moments mixed in make the wait worthwhile."
 
MAKING PEACE—Kathleen Rice Adams
A Confederate soldier. A Jayhawker’s widow. An accidental passion that could mend the wounds of war.

~*~Five Bowls of SOUTHERN BLACKBERRY COBBLER-"What could be more passionate and sweeter than the unexpected luscious blackberry flavor combined with pie crust pieces and a blackberry sauce swirl."

My goodness, I must have ice cream on the brain. It is summertime, after all, and all in my house absolutely love ice cream.

For this anthology titled Cowboy Cravings, I could think of no better way to describe how I loved these stories. Yes, mine is in there, too, but I don't mind saying I love my own story.

Shouldn't all authors feel the same way? You bet.

What flavor of ice cream is your favorite? Well, then go buy a carton, get Cowboy Cravings on your Kindle, kick back, and enjoy!
