A Cowboy for Katie by Debra Clopton

Courting Trouble by Margaret Brownley
Grace Davenport is either the unluckiest woman alive—or a killer. When her third husband is found dead, Grace is arrested. Attorney Brock Daniels isn't interested in the case—until he meets Grace. Only a miracle will prove her innocence, but the joining of two lonely hearts may be their saving grace."

My review:  If you have never read books by some of these authors, these novellas are a great way to find out what you think of them.  The beginning gives a bit of an introduction to the stories that will follow, and I thought it very appropriate and engaging.  I loved Maizy in Spitfire Sweetheart.  She kept me laughing and guessing what would happen to her next.  In Love Letter to the Editor, I appreciated Jack and his attitude toward Molly.  A Cowboy for Katie was my favorite.  Debra Clopton did an excellent job making Katie weak and strong at the same time.  Katie's physical issues were portrayed in such a way that the reader understood what she was going through.  Courting Trouble I have to say was my least favorite.  I think because the story-line just didn't ring true to me.  It was fun to read, but it just wasn't real.  I received a complimentary e-copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions are my own.
