Hearts and Spurs, a book of nine short stories written by nine separate authors, Linda Broday, Tracy Garrett, Livia J. Washburn, Cheryl Pierson, Phyllis Miranda, Tanya Hanson, Kathleen Rice Adams, Sarah J. McNeal, Jacquie Rogers. These ladies are some of the most interesting writers to come out of the “Old West”, in my opinion. 
          I received this anthology when I entered a contest (and WHOOPEE!, I won) on the occasion of the launch party by Prairie Rose Publications in January.  Hmmm, then came February, Western love stories – what a great match.  The writer’s stories matched, too. I really felt the L♥VE as I read each and every one of these western romances.  They wrote about almost everything; lost loves regained, mail-order brides, a lady in judge’s clothes (men’s), old love letters, arranged marriages, misunderstood love, Valentine candy hearts and a Texas Ranger falling for a nun.
          I can’t imagine your missing this extraordinary accumulation of stories. They will make you cry, laugh and fall in love with each story.  You will be ridin’ out to get the next anthology published by the talented and artistic writers in the PRP stable.  Even the cover was crafted by the gifted Livia J.Washburn.
