I love a good cowboy romance now and then so when I came across the small anthology for review, I scooped it up!
Comprised of three short stories, this was an enjoyable, light and easy read. Check out my thoughts below.

He’s My Cowboy by Diana Palmer; Rebecca Zanetti; Delores Fossen Review
This anthology is comprised of three short stories that are very different in nature.
In Palmer’s story, I was disappointed that there is no cowboy involved unless I missed the nuance altogether. I thought that was a bit odd. The story was decent, but there is no romance in this book at all. The main characters had a decent connection, but this author cannot write romance. No steam. No feelings. No Emotion. It was quite a disappointing read for me. 2 STARS
In Zanetti’s story, I really enjoyed the interconnection between the main characters. This was a longer story than the first and nicely written. The big twist was a bit cheesy but endearing. They really did belong together. Sweet story! 4 STARS
Fossen’s story was my favorite. We got a bit of spice with our romance in this one. The family and small-town antics were a bit over the top, but the fire that burned between the two was worth the eye rolls. I wish this one would have been a bit longer. 4 STARS
Overall, pick up He’s My Cowboy for books two and three. They are the type of cowboy story we like to read even though they are a tad urban cowboy-ish.
3 STARS!
