My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys

This is a romance anthology featuring three stories about three men of the American West. The Lorraine Heath story is the only one I read, so my rating is solely based on that book.

The Reluctant Hero - Andrea Jackson used to write her dime novels for pleasure. Now she must write them to pay off her father's debt. But she has writers block and needs some inspiration. She finds that in Sheriff Matthew Knight who stopped a gang of outlaws from robbing the local bank. But when she asks for an interview, he refuses. Matthew has a past that he doesn't want anyone to know about. He knows he isn't "hero" material, but doesn't know how to stop Andrea from following him around town to get her story.

This is another story that suffers from being too short. There isn't enough to time to get to know the characters, or for them to get to know each other. I'm not a fan of "insta-love". Most of the story takes place in a 24-hour period. I didn't feel the hero and heroine were in love by the end of the book, but there were some amusing scenes that made this story worth reading. My rating: 3 Stars.
