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 is how you start a series! Wow! This was such a good novel!! I love the grouchy/sunshine troupe and Harrison and Cassie couldn’t be better models of these attributes. Cassie has a sunny, positive outlook, is all about family, and lives with her heart on her sleeve. Harrison is an actor that is getting his shot at a lead, but he also had a chip on his shoulder and has some pretty thick walls built up around his heart.
I loved Carrie showing her sassy side to Harrison and I was living for the whole enemies-to-lovers that dominated this novel. I also loved the tongue-in-cheek moments. There were scenes that had me smirking and it’s been awhile since I’ve audibly chuckled. It was nice having moments where I audibly giggled, especially at the antics that befell the hero, but then there were moments where the characters searched their souls for clarity, and I felt those moments down to my own core. They are thoughts I’m sure all of have pondered at one time or another and they hit hard.
I love seeing characters come back and check in and there were quite a few name drops that got me all giddy and even more excited for this series. I enjoyed reading this novel so much! The characters are wonderful, the plot kept me interested, and I could see this breathtaking ranch so vividly. I cannot wait for the next novel in the series!
