C.J. Bishop
136 books525 followersPen name of author A.M. Snead.
Born and raised in scenic Coos County, Oregon, CJ enjoys the small town atmosphere and down-to-earth country folk who populate the area. She is a single mother and lives with her 18-year-old daughter, 1 horse, 4 dogs and 6 cats deep in the country woodlands which gives her plenty of time to write.
She is a Christian and a strong supporter of the LGBT community and favors gay erotic romance when it comes to writing. She hopes that her stories of love and acceptance will help further compassion and understanding for LGBT people who she feels is greatly misunderstood and persecuted - in a large party by the Christian community.
Most of all, she is hopeful that her stories will bring comfort to those who have been told that God hates them because they are different. It is her strong belief that God loves everyone and His love covers all.

This was really short story and super weird to read right after Paradise Lost. Since it was published after Paradise Lost I thought it would be connected somehow but it wasn't. It really felt out of place and I don't know where to place it in the timeline of the books now.

👍🏻 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COWBOY
🌟 If you have read & enjoyed the other COWBOY GANGSTER & PHOENIX BOYS books by C J BISHOP, then you need to read this novella too. This features Clint, Axel and others that we love - as they gather together at a local dude ranch to celebrate the cowboy’s birthday. This is a lighthearted (REALLY!) and enjoyable short story.
☝🏻 IF YOU HAVEN’T read any of the COWBOY GANGSTER or PHOENIX BOYS books yet, I strongly encourage to check them out. !! Before reading, be aware of the possible graphic & violent content.!! Then, if you think you can handle it, READ& ENJOY! —> BE SURE TO READ THEM IN THE CORRECT ORDER! — starting with the PHOENIX CLUB bundle.

Happy Birthday Cowboy💟😁
This was a very short sweet read. Noah and Chris are going to make a great couple, once Noah is of age. Kane and Cochise, are so good together. I would love to hear Cochise, life story. I think there something real deep there. Jules and Reuben, are so precious. Can't to see them all grown up. Cole and Gabe are a whoot. Always looking to get a foursome with Angel and Dane. Will we ever get Cole's story? I want to know where he came from and his back story. Seek and Clint, are quite the nature couple. It's Clint's birthday. So Adel surprised him with a trip to a Dude Ranch. That was a funk little trip. I miss Max and Horatio. The hottest couple of them all💟😁

Well worth the read
This is an unsolicited review. I am a fan of CJ Bishop and her style of writing and get emotionally pulled into each story each time. This time with laughter, and a light heart. Very well written, and I loved that the Phoenix and Gangster characters all came together again in a hot, comedic and lusty tale. To anyone who is familiar with these characters, I would recommend this as a must read, and for those just discovering CJ Bishop as a writer, maybe start at the beginning of both series of books, so that Cowboy Up continues the character's antics, story and appeal seamlessly.

For Clint's birthday Adel takes him too gay dude ranch. I enjoyed it and wanted more. I would have liked more smut than was here. Some parts was just too much talking not enough of the others.
When did have got sex boy was it steamy the way I like. I had wanted to see that spanking that Adel kept talking about though which never did.
There was also Chris and Noel I wanted to know more about. I hope in the future they have a book of their own. I liked them the most outside the main story.

Sweet , sexy, fun.
What a treat! This was a sexy, fun birthday party. I love these little side stories. Can’t get enough of Clint and Axle or Cochise and Kane. As usual, Jules was the life of the party with his cuteness. The best surprise was Cochise revealing a small piece of his past. Still so much to learn, if he will ever open up. January can’t get here fast enough! Bring on the next adventure!

Who doesn't love a Cowboy birthday?
Want a different look at all sides of The Cowboy Gangster? Here it is. This wonderful little short story shows us that while the Cowboy is rough around the edges and thinks he has such a lost soul he is human and celebrates his birthday just like the rest of us. Join in on the fun as all the boys get together to celebrate.

Must read
Great book . I have been waiting for you to write more on this story line . The Gangster series are one of my favorites. Have been waiting over 2 years for the Honeymoon series to come out. Would love to know Cochise story to be told.
Thanks,

So amazing..
What a birthday gift, the Cowboy was not the only one to enjoy his gift. There were others who were having just as much fun and enjoyment. I guess this is one birthday, he will always remember.

A hot little novella surrounding the Cowboy's birthday. Axel had arranged an event away and most of the usual crowd were there for some naughty and not so naughty fun and activities.

I felt lost.
I don't know if there was another book previous to this one or not but I felt as though, I was thrown into this without any back story on this. Lost would be the more appropriate thing to say.

Can't get enough!!!
Love Clint, Axel and their families. Almost hate to read them because they always end too soon. They seem like family and I miss them between books.
