Wild West Weekend is actually two stories broken up into parts and running concurrently. Part one gives us Damon and Bristol. This pair gives us a bit of fun as they butt heads from the start. I loved Damon's laid back nature and there is good chemistry between him and Bristol, even when the sparks are flying between them. The story is very fast-paced and I have to say that Part One did leave me hanging a bit - there's hope, but I was worried about what would be next.
Then we move right into Part Two with Dakota and Cassie. This pair has some history but hadn't seen each other in years. Cassie has a dark past and isn't sure how much Dakota will accept. I was a little confused about a mysterious stranger in town that seems to just fizzle out, but other than that, their romance was definitely the more realistic of the two.
Finally, we get to the epilogue and the worries I had about Bristol and Damon are laid to rest. I love how things were brought together for both couples and on the whole, both stories were entertaining and sexy with a few chuckles along the way.

Wild West Weekend is a feel good romp, with the bonus of not one but two sexy hot cowboy brothers!
Bristol & Damon - Part One
I think the term “once burned twice shy” could fit both Bristol and Damon to a T.
Bristol should be riding high on the success of her Broadway show, but something is missing. After a failed marriage, she needs a break and agrees to meet up with an old friend at the Dougan Ranch. Bristol is one major New York City diva. She is delightful and funny to read about. She is absolutely oblivious to the workings of a Nevada working ranch. All you can do is smile and shake your head right along with Damon at her mannerisms and cluelessness. She is utterly wonderful.
I adore Damon. He is so laid back and charming, I could just eat him up with a spoon. I can honestly say that Damon was totally broadsided in his last relationship. His leeriness to have another relationship is well-founded and believable. Still, Bristol intrigued him from the moment he saw her stepping out of the limousine.
The romance between Bristol and Damon was rushed but considering they only had a weekend, I understand why. The chemistry they had was combustible and just plain cute. I would have enjoyed reading about a full month’s vacation with these two. I finished Part One wanting more. No, needing more. I will have to say well done to the author for engaging me, pulling me into the story.
Cassie and Dakota - Part Two
Hmmm, how to sum up these two lovers? They only got better with age. Cassie and Dakota fell in love as teenagers, but life got in the way for them.
Dakota stayed on at his family ranch never knowing what happened to his first love. He dove head first into the management of the ranch, never finding time to fall in love again. Twenty years later, he is looking forward to seeing Cassie again. Can he survive being rejected by her a second time?
Life is what happened to Cassie. She loved her summers at the ranch, but circumstances and heartbreak kept her from returning. Older and wiser, she decides to look up her old flame. Trouble is she is not the same sweet teenager he once knew. Cassie has a dark past, and she is worried that straight-laced Dakota may not be able to handle her taboo side.
I found Cassie and Dakota’s story a bit more realistic. They had a past and a foundation to work from. My only disappointment was, who was this stranger in town and what was the purpose in the story? Beyond that, I enjoyed their interactions and how she was able to blend her past sexual experiences into the present to help Dakota move beyond some of his current issues. I found myself cheering them on throughout the story.
This book has two overlapping short stories happening on the same timeline. It was enjoyable to read the separate accounts of these two couples. It made the book unique for me and I was able to set my focus on the enjoyment of each individual couple.
The ending was tied up wonderfully. As I was coming to the end of the book I was about ready to throw it up in the air and shout, “What about Bristol and Damon?” Thank you, thank you, and thank you for the unique twist at the end. It was a delightful little present tied up in a great big bow. The collaboration in this book was well written and flowed seamlessly, great work and job well done! I look forward to future endeavors between the two of you again.

This book had all the elements for a wonderful romance! Conflict was rich and the humor helped to lighten moods! I will definitely be reading more from CR Moss & RM Sotera!

I received this book for free from Silver Dagger Book Tours in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.3.5 STARS
Addictiveness: Medium addictiveness. Both stories are fast reads. In fact you can read the book in one sitting.
Character: hero 5/5, heroine 3.5/5, secondary characters 3/5, growth 4/5, real 4/5 All four main characters are easy to like, connect and understand. I've really liked both heroes. Damon is great! He is so laid back and caring. Bristol gave me some LOL moments. That girl was funny. Dakota was the one who stays behind. Now, is he willing to give love a second chance? His doubts felt real. Cassie's insecurities were also believable.
Freshness: Unique! Really how the authors created this overlapping stories and gave them an epilogue that tied it all together felt fresh.
Plot: believable 3.5/5, conflict 4/5, dialogue 4/5, ending 5/5, enjoyment 4/5, opening 4/5, pace 3.5/5, setting 5/5, subplots 3/5, twists 4/5 Good opening and wonderful ending. Interesting conflict and good dialogues. The stories felt a bit rushed, specially the first one. A good twist at the epilogue that turn this ending into fantastic.
Romance: believable 4/5, chemistry 4/5, description 5/5, development 4/5, steam 4/5 The first romance was fun. Not very believable, but I had some good LOL moments. The second one felt real. I truly felt their love for each other. Both couples had good chemistry.
Writing Style: It was good! Interesting plot, great characters and good romance.
Character: I still don't understand why/who/what , really the reason to have the stranger in the plot of the second novella.
Cover: art 3/5, title 5/5, subtitle 3/5, color-font 3.5/5, buy 3/5 I'm obsessed with book covers and I love to find snippets of the stories on the cover. This one is just ok. First, by looking at it you would never guess this has 2 novellas and 4 major characters. I also don't like the use of some subtitles. I wouldn't buy this book without reading the blurb first.
Plot: The pace was a bit rushed, specially on the first story. On the second story the strange subplot was confusing and irrelevant.

Western romance.
This is in reality two novellas in one book.
Both stories happens at the same time, in the same setting, but each novella tells the story of one couple The epilogue ties-up all the loose end!
First novella is Damon and Bristol's story. He is a laid-back cowboy and she is a New York star. This story is sexy and funny.
Second novella is Dakota and Cassie's story. This is a second chance love. They were teenagers lovers, but it didn't work out. Twenty years later, they are giving each other a second chance. Very believable!
