Lassoed From the start
Filled with fun twists and our favorite characters. The plot moves quickly offering the best of Millie and friends. Be warned, it will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. This cowboy story will lasso you in so be ready to read through the night. One of the best.

Best Millie mystery yet!
I never saw this end coming. Greed for power was my thought behind this murder. Not!
Millie and friends have never had such high stakes to solve an onboard murder before. All of their jobs were on the line this time.
Get yourself a copy of "Cruising Cowboys", sit back with a good cup of tea, and enjoy a great mystery. Yeehaw!!!

Could this be Millie’s final cruise? When a famous, well-connected cowboy dies onboard, everyone’s job could be on the chopping block. Ms. Callaghan always delivers a great read and this one is no exception. A twisty plot, complex characters and great storytelling make this one hard to put down. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next in the series.

Another wonderful book in this series
Its so nice to read about friends who have a real bond and care about each other. This series is full of that. The murder mystery is always a character not in my sights but its fun reading. I vet to travel along ,avoid sea sickness and have great adventures, while sitting in the comfort of my reading chair. Super job!

Never ride a twister
Interesting from beginning to end. These cowboys and cowgirls liked to party. Unfortunately they did not like to tell the truth. They were unwilling to help solve the murder even covering up for the murderer. Millie and her friends took a very active role in this investigation. Easy to say without Millie the cruise ship would have changed in a big way.

Great Series
I have been enjoying reading the Cruise Ship Cozy Mystery Novels. The setting on the cruise ship made me feel like I was there. I am in love with the characters, especially Millie. I recommended this series to my sister, so now she is also enjoying reading the novels. I can't wait until book number 24 comes out.

Who killed Colt Kenworth and why??? The Super Sleuths work it out though, don’t they??? Even if they couldn’t find out why he was fully clothed and in the hot tub!!! I enjoyed the story and recommend the book

As a cruiser I love reading the many adventurers of Millie and Siren of the Seas. Book 23 added a cowboy touch - which is always fun. Lovely knowing Cat and Andy finally get engaged. Sparky always makes things interesting - love the recipe.
Always a fun and easy read.
Recommend highly

Amazing story as usual!
I love all of Hope Callaghan’s books, and I think Millie’s adventures are my favorite! Cruising Cowboys was a great read and a great mystery! It had me sweating towards the end to see if the killer would get away with it! Definitely recommend!

A Two Stepping' Good Read!
I am almost tempted to don some boots and a ten gallon hat and climb on a mechanical bull! Millie and crew never disappoint. I'm ready for the next cruise! Thank you Hope Callaghan!

Hard to put this one down
I love a good Mystery. That is what this was. I loved how sometimes they were on point, but didn't even know it. I also love how the series ties into other series. Even if you've never read the other series, you wouldn't be confused.

Always a good read!!
Millie's snooping is very needed on this trip. Without her skills she may be moving. Everyone is on board with her snooping including her husband. Millie's cover picture does not do her justice.

I must have missed a book, because I haven’t read anything about the mafia issue!
I hope you didn’t skip the information about the mafia story! Did I just miss that book or did you not tell it!

Yeehaw! Get ready for a bucking adventure.
Wow! Miss Callaghan sure knows how to Rope us in to another Millie adventure. If you haven’t guessed, this time around there’s a cowboy and cowgirl excursion aboard, Along with a mechanical bull that they got approved somehow.
When a well-known cowboy with a rich past ends up dying in the off-limits hot tub, and the owner of Majestic Cruise line knows his parents, all heck ensues.
Can Millie and crew figure out who did the deed before they get back to Miami? Well maybe Enlisting Annette, Cat, Danielle, and Felix, Millie might just be able to pull it off! Who are we kidding! Of course she will!
Love the big surprise, no I’m not going to tell you, and how everything is left in suspense until the end. That mechanical bull sure has a spotlight on it, or should I say twister.

Delightful page turning, gut wrenching, timely mystery. Millie had me biting my nails. Doesn’t matter what the industry, so often the wealthy determine a person’s job security. This reader was not fond of the Miami Corporate Office and their decisions about who should investigate the murder. The Corporate office gives the story an authentic view. Cruising Cowboys is a contemporary story with cowboys, authentic cruise line workers, fireworks, an engagement, a murder mystery, red herrings, drugs. gambling, and Sharkie's taste for hot sauce. WOW! Even learned a new word - Stevedores. The mechanical bull's name was fitting - Twister, as was lassoing Lola. The Enchilada Stuffed Shells recipe sounds delicious and easy to make.
