This is a bundle of three different stories about getting mary to cowboys. The only one that I truly enjoyed to read was the last and seeing HW and Sam get married. I loved to see al the Morgans and everyone enjoying and working together in this cute novel. And only because of that story there is such a high rate. The second was for me disaster I jumped through it leaving sentences and pages. I don't get the story about so long engagement with nothing special happening. The first one is a story about innocence, if it wants for the humor I couldn't read it. Everything was just to perfect but it was way better than the second.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

Three excellent modern western romances. All three of the authors developed likeable and entertaining characters. The story line was also well developed and each story was a page turned with a HEA. The blurb gives the reader the basic set up of the stories but as they develop there is intrigue, working together, deep love and humor. This set has something for everyone. I received a complementary copy of this book via Net Galley and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by Ms. Pearce, Ms. McKenna and Ms. Palmer.

Marrying My Cowboy is a collection of 3 cowboy stories by different authors. Having enjoyed the Morgan Ranch series by Kate Pearce immensely, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this story. Overall, I loved The Cowboy Lassoes a Bride which is a great addition to the Morgan Ranch series and cannot wait to read more.

As for the other 2 stories, while their names are familiar, they are still new to me authors. The Diana Palmer story had a lot of inconsistencies and I never really got invested in the characters. Very little spark. With regard to Wind River Wedding, this was obviously a prequel to another series and it left me more confused than interested.

Kate Pearce's excellent short story, Cowboy Lassoes a Bride is the only one worth reading in this anthology and I'm really sad about that. I have never read anything by Diana Palmer or Lindsay McKenna and I was really looking forward to it. Now I can say I will never look at their titles again. Diana Palmer's Rancher's Wedding was an OK story but it had so many errors in it. It started out with a promising opening scene that was a really different way to start a love story and it just never tugged at my heart. Maybe her other stories are better. Lindsay McKenna's Wind River Wedding was definitely a looking back to the beginning couple. But it was a "telling" story not one experienced with the characters. She told us what happened and I found I wasn't invested in it. When you read a short story, you should hunger to read the series it's set in when you finish the story. I didn't with either of these tales.

Kate Pearce gave us a truly stellar story. We got to share in the lives of the Morgan family we have come to love. We care about the characters and are pulling for the wedding to happen. We even get laugh out loud moments like Sam being arrested for being "loud & obnoxious, and fondling public property"! Some bachelorette party she had! I am delighted Kate gave us another peek at this special family.

A copy for this book was provided to me for an honest and voluntary review.

"The Rancher's Wedding" is a pleasant tale centering around a father and daughter stuck in a small town out west. Although there is definitely some romantic tension, it eventually becomes a sweet romance with only a few bumps along the way.

"Wind River Wedding" has a nice setting, but the story is really incomplete. It appears to just be a prequel gearing for some other series of books. For me, it keeps jumping ahead in time (weeks or months, not time-travel), and I'm left trying to figure out how things got where they are.

"The Cowboy Lassoes a Bride" is the best of the three. It's got a smooth continuous story, well told, but only a bit more sensual than the others. I'd rate this story alone as a 4.

Marrying My Cowboy contains three contemporary western stories written by authors Diana Palmer, Lindsay McKenna and Kate Pearce. Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books/Zebra for the advance copy.

It's that time of year again. Love is in the air, beauty is starting to bloom and temperatures are on the rise. With the season of love on It's way, It's fitting that romance jumps in on the fun. Marrying My Cowboy came on the radar for me because I am a fan of all three authors. Pearce gives us something to talk about when taking a chance on naughty puts in question a matter of the heart. McKenna is the boss when it comes to wild rides, emotional moments and inspiring storytelling. Diana Palmer makes scandal front page news and our hearts are the prize at hand. Full of captivating characters, laugh out loud moments and irresistible romance, Marrying My Cowboy will put a move on hearts everywhere.

The Cowboy Lassoes a Bride by Kate Pearce – 5 stars.

I requested a copy of this anthology from NetGalley solely because I wanted to read and review Kate Pearce's story. My rating is based on that one alone as real life stuff has kept me from having the time to read the other two.

I've read all of the books in the Morgan Ranch series, and loved them, so I couldn't wait to get my eyes on this one. While I think you will still enjoy this story even if you haven't read the other Morgan Ranch books, I urge you to at least read The Bad Boy Cowboy first. It's the story of how HW and Sam first get together.

HW Morgan has been the bad-boy of this series but he finally met his match in Samantha (Sam) Kelly in The Bad Boy Cowboy. I loved that story so much and I couldn't wait to read about their wedding trials and tribulations in The Cowboy Lassoes a Bride.

HW is so afraid that Sam is going to leave him just like his mother did so it wasn't difficult to guess what kind of situation might crop up in this story. What was fun about it though, was waiting for the "thing" to happen and not knowing when it was going to happen. 😊

This story was such a fun read. I really enjoyed visiting with all of the characters from previous books. Everyone in the extended Morgan family is so supportive of each other, even when they don't always see eye-to-eye. Reading such great family stories helps me to escape from the stress of everyday life.

I'm looking forward to reading more stories set in the world of Morgantown. The Second Chance Rancher, coming in late May, kicks off a new related series called The Millers of Morgan Valley and I'm ready to read it!

A review copy was provided by the publisher via NetGalley but this did not influence my opinion or rating of the book.

Three fast-paced reads all involving cowboys and their impending wedding day. Plenty of drama, emotion and steamy chemistry. I always love another chance to read more about the Morgan brothers. A fun and entertaining read.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

This is really one book with two novellas which is nice if you have been reading the series. I enjoyed the first book, and have read most of the Wind River series so this was fun to see where Maud and Steve come into the story, but the last part with Sam and HW, I was kind of lost as I have not read any of that series.

While I enjoyed the Rancher's Wedding by Diana Palmer, there were a few times that I felt Cassie was way too quick to forgive JL, and I was really glad when Cary got his just rewards for the cruel way he treated JL.

Wind River Wedding was a great back story to see Maud and Steve when they first married and their backgrounds.

I might have liked Cowboy Lassoes a Bride more if I knew all the characters, but I did not and was kind of confused with all the different people.

All three had great HEA and that is what is the best part!

Diana Palmer, Lyndsay McKenna, Kate Pearce; how could you go wrong with these three authors? Each has woven a tale that is intriguing and exciting. Each of these stories belong in their personal hall of fame. I can’t say enough good things about these 3 stories; glimpses into the lives of people who become real the reader with just a few words.

My review is for Kate Pearce’s “A Cowboy Lassoes A Bride”. If you haven’t read the previous novels in the series, you may be lost! I highly recommend reading the other novels in the series first. This is a novella focusing on the marriage of HW and Sam.

Anything that could go wrong, does. From the moment HW proposes, to the bachelorette party, the missing wedding dress, and then the missing bride everything seems to go wrong! Although it’s highly entertaining, I think I would’ve taken that as some sort of omen and called the whole thing off! But love prevails and the Morgan clan rallies together to give HW and Sam their dream wedding. It was nice to catch up with the Morgan’s! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

My main reason for reading this collection for was for “The Cowboy Lassoes a Bride” by Kate Pearce. I LOVE the Morgan Ranch series and I was not going to pass up HW and Sam’s wedding. What a fun read! I swear whatever could go wrong did go wrong. You know you can depend on the Morgan’s to come together and make everything right. If you haven’t read the Morgan Ranch series – you are seriously missing out!

All three stories are heartwarming, romantic tales featuring swoon-worthy cowboys. How can you go wrong with that!

Marrying My Cowboy is an anthology by Diana Palmer, Lindsay McKenna and Kate Pearce. All involve weddings, the title makes that clear. Right? Two of the stories I am sure are parts of series. For that reason, they may seem like teasers to those who haven’t read the series. Because I have been following Wind River and the Morgan Ranch I had no problems.

The Rancher Wedding by Diana Palmer did not go with any series that I am familiar with reading. Scandal, money crunching problems brings a tough cowboy together with a writer. Enjoyable read. 4 Stars

Wind River Wedding by Lindsay McKenna is my favorite of the three. Family meddling in young couple future. Great read with the back story of Mau and Steve. 5 Stars

The Cowboy Lassoes a Bride by Kate Pearce has a wedding jitter and lost wedding dresses has the bride questioning her decision. Is this marriage ill-fated? 4 Stars

I found this book to be a real pleasure to read with the wonderfully written storyline and well developed characters that kept me totally captivated throughout the entire book!

Three great authors in one book - you can't go wrong. The 3 novellas are all standalone reads that were well written and entertaining. These characters will have you falling in love with them and hooked from page one. Read one or read them all - you won't want to put this one down.

I'm disappointed in this bunch of short stories and previews. Not long enough or have enough substance to form characters you can like or dislike. There is no continuity and just jumps around.

This book was gifted to me by the publisher in return for an honest review.

I received an ARC of this book for my honest review.
Loved it. This is a great book it includes 2 of my favourite authors and a brand new author to me. Diana Palmer and Lindsey McKenna are always a instant read for me. Kate Pearce is a new author for me and one I will definitely read again.
These books have lots of great characters, excellent plots and just a great way to spend an afternoon.

This is an anthology of 3 novellas featuring cowboys. They are all remarkably written. The last two stories are continuations of series by their authors, but can be read as a stand-alone story. The pace of each story is wonderful and the characters are well developed. If you like cowboy stories and HEA this is a marvelous read.
