C.J. Carmichael's  PROMISE ME, COWBOY is another fun addition to the Copper Mountain Rodeo series of novellas set in Marietta, Montana.  This novella focuses on Sage Carrigan, former rodeo barrel race and owner of Copper Mountain Chocolates. Sage has secrets, and one of them came to town for the Copper Mountain Rodeo.  She met Dawson O'Dell on the circuit, where they became friends, and had literally just crossed into the "more than friends" when his wife, the one he forgot to mention, shows up.  That was five years ago, and now he is back with a daughter and plans to stay and wants Sage to be a part of this new life he is building. Sage is understandably gun-shy, and it will take hard work by Dawson to convince her that things will be different this time.  I love that Carmichael, like the other authors in this series, are able to develop characters that have depth and are believable in the shorter novella format.  Each installment of the series pulls you further into the lives of the people of Marietta. Sage and Dawson's story is well-paced, but I would happily visit longer with them or any of the other characters we have me so far, and can't wait for my next visit to the town of Marietta.
