This review is specifically for Candy Canes and Cowboys by Macie St。 James which is included in this collection。This was a wonderful， feel-good story！ Christian thought he'd had his one true love， but she'd passed away。 Poppy certainly wasn't looking for a relationship while scouting locations for a film company。 But， boy， the chemistry was there from first sight！ A super-fun story！。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 This review is specifically for Candy Canes and Cowboys by Macie St。 James which is included in this collection。This was a wonderful， feel-good story！ Christian thought he'd had his one true love， but she'd passed away。 Poppy certainly wasn't looking for a relationship while scouting locations for a film company。 But， boy， the chemistry was there from first sight！ A super-fun story！。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

This collection of short cowboy stories was the best I've read。 I haven't finished reading all of them because I wanted to jump ahead and read Christina Butrum's story and of course she didn't let me down。 I'm in the process of reading the ones I missed and have loved each and every story。 Some of them really pull you in and I end up losing sleep。 All the authors in this collaboration should be proud of these short stories that they put together。 I highly recommend them all。 This collection of short cowboy stories was the best I've read。 I haven't finished reading all of them because I wanted to jump ahead and read Christina Butrum's story and of course she didn't let me down。 I'm in the process of reading the ones I missed and have loved each and every story。 Some of them really pull you in and I end up losing sleep。 All the authors in this collaboration should be proud of these short stories that they put together。 I highly recommend them all。 。。。more

Review for The Christmas Tree CowboyA Family for Christmas！！ This was such a sweet， fun and loving story it touched my heart completely。 Cody and Lyne are two people that had very heartbreaking pasts but yrs。 later were able to find in each other a partner for life。 Getting to know the rest of the Tennyson’s was so much fun and I absolutely fell in love with Lorelei。 If you’re looking for a lighthearted quick holiday read this is the perfect story for you。

Narrowing in on Shanna Hatfield's entry Taming Christmas because she is my favorite contemporary author。 I'll get to the rest of them because I know how much talent is in this anthology！At first glance this novella-length contemporary cowboy romance looks like thousands of others in this popular genre but what makes it truly stand out is the author: the inimitable Shanna Hatfield， queen of cowboy romances！ Huck Powell is a champion bull rider intent on capturing a national title。 Too busy and fo Narrowing in on Shanna Hatfield's entry Taming Christmas because she is my favorite contemporary author。 I'll get to the rest of them because I know how much talent is in this anthology！At first glance this novella-length contemporary cowboy romance looks like thousands of others in this popular genre but what makes it truly stand out is the author: the inimitable Shanna Hatfield， queen of cowboy romances！ Huck Powell is a champion bull rider intent on capturing a national title。 Too busy and focused to admire the beautiful women following the rodeo circuit， that is， until he encounters one Mara Evans at a post rodeo party。 This time， it wasn’t love at first sight as Huck had taken a horn to his head on his last bull ride。 Then his buddy had spiked his soft drink with vodka not knowing that Huck was already on pain killers。 Staggering around like he was drunk didn’t make the best impression on Mara。 Well， it sort of went all uphill from that point。 I loved how the author utilized the prologue and epilogue to allow the reader to look at this wonderful couple in the present day。 （I knew this was special because Shanna Hatfield seldom， if ever， uses prologues or epilogues！） She cleverly “flip-flops the story， utilizing the main body of the story to explain years ago how these two got acquainted and how their attraction flamed into full-blown love。 This superlative novella resides inside of the anthology Christmas Wishes and Cowboy Kisses: A Sweet Contemporary Western Romance Collection。 Featuring some of the most talented authors plying this popular genre， this collection should be in your book case。 。。。more

So far I have read Taming Christmas - Such a sweet story flashing back to how Huck and Mara got together in spite of their determination to go their own ways - apart。I love how Huck was such a gentleman contrary to his first impression and Mara tried to resist but couldn’t！It is a very quick read but you are drawn in and feel for the characters almost immediately。 Plenty of Shanna’s trademark depth and humor that makes you want to keep coming back。I can’t wait to finish the rest！

Best story of all was Her Christmas Cowboy Billionaire， great sorry line， edge of your seat with a happy ending。 Special mention to my other faves The Cowboy’s Christmas Bride， Christmas in Woodford Creek， Candy Canes and Cowboys， and Let it Snow Cowboy。 Some are first of series that I’ll be looking into。 Gotta say， some I didn’t get past the first page。 One is logged through。 You decide。 Most have excellent characters and don’t forget to have a hanky handy for those Cheistmassy tear jerkers。

A fun and romance filled collection。 I can admit I have added several books to my TBR list and am looking forward to the start of several new series。 The stories are short enough to be able to read one or two of them when your time is short or you can just start at the beginning and read straight through。 There is plenty of romance， humor and surprises for everyone。 THE GIFT OF GINGERBREAD （Liz Isaacson） – Having read the Shiloh Ridge Ranch series it was good to get Arizona and Duke’s story。 For A fun and romance filled collection。 I can admit I have added several books to my TBR list and am looking forward to the start of several new series。 The stories are short enough to be able to read one or two of them when your time is short or you can just start at the beginning and read straight through。 There is plenty of romance， humor and surprises for everyone。 THE GIFT OF GINGERBREAD （Liz Isaacson） – Having read the Shiloh Ridge Ranch series it was good to get Arizona and Duke’s story。 Forgiveness is a wonderful thing and the hardest to do is to forgive ourselves。 TAMING CHRISTMAS （Shana Hatfield） – I love rodeo cowboys and Huck and Mara won my heart。 I will now read the rodeo series Shana Hatfield has。 I love her characters and story lines。 THE COWBOY’S LAST MISTLETOE KISS （Lacy Williams） – Some loves are just meant to be。 Ten years is a long time to be apart and have instant re-ignition。 Wit might have fooled Cora at first into thinking he was his twin but the sparks couldn’t be hid。 I enjoyed this story enough that I borrowed His Small Town Girl and plan to visit Sutter’s Hollow again。 A COWBOY’S CHRISTMAS SURPRISE （Carolyn Aarsen） – A wonderful story of betrayal and forgiveness。 Charles is hard to understand and only his terminal illness has him reaching out。 Made me think about the true meaning of Christmas。 THE CHRISTMAS TREE COWBOY （Melissa McClone） – I enjoyed this story。 Lyne has had a hard life， but things have been better with her job at the Bar V5。 Then she is asked to help out a friend of her boss。 She is brought face to face with the cowboy who had broken her 16 year old heart。 Lesson that all is not what it seems。 MISTLETOE RODEO （Kit Morgan） – Who how dangerous and wonderful a pink convertible could be。 A rekindled romance， a broken leg， humor， two precocious little girls， lots of mistletoe， all unite to make a fun story。 Oh， add in a want-to-be girlfriend。 This is an enjoyable story。BLAME IT ON THE MISTLETOE （Laura Ashwood） – Hope’s holiday season starts by being unjustly fired。 Then helping to plan her best friend’s wedding send her back to Mistletoe for the first time in over a decade。 Not only does she have the skills and education to pull of Nicole’s wedding in 5 weeks but also the skills to help save the McBride ranch。 Can Luke accept she is not the same as his former fiancée？ I enjoyed this story。 CHRISTMAS AT MILLER RANCH （Natalie Dean） - Ok I’m still getting my mind around rolling， cutting， baking and icing half a dozen batches of gingerbread cookies。 Katrine and James were both going to have problems adjusting to the change in their roles。 I love the Miller family and they are exactly who Katrine and Remy need。 A COWBOY FOR CHRISTMAS （Terri Lorah） - A new to me author but I am looking forward to the upcoming series。 Calvin’s father may have wanted to right a long past wrong， but I have to wonder if he also hoped to reunite Calvin and Isabel。 Pride makes poor companionship。THE COWBOY AND MRS。 CLAUS （Christine Sterling） – Even in this short story， Christine Sterling does her usual masterful job of drawing you into the story and giving you strong characters。 I look forward to learning more about the Knights next year。HER CHRISTMAS COWBOY BILLIONAIRE （Cynthia Woolf） – I always look forward to a Cynthia Woolf book。 I know there will be excitement， danger and heart topping action， even in this short story。 As strong as her male characters are， she never makes her female characters weak。 She even manages to sneak in a few surprises。A CHRISTMAS COWBOY WITH A JOY FILLED HEART （Kathleen Ball） – There is nothing much worse for a romance than well-intentioned and at times mal-intentioned interference。 Joe and Iris had some of both， at least I’m going to try to credit her father with good intentions since he’s no longer around to defend himself。 I love all the attention Joe is able to show for Carrie and Iris。 Good story。 CANDY CANES AND COWBOYS （Macie St。 James） – Macie St。 James makes living in a really small town very appealing。 Poppy holds the keys to Christian being able to save his family ranch and his happily ever after。 I’ve already borrowed Book 1。 CHRISTMAS IN WOODFORD CREEK （Christina Butrum） – I enjoyed this story。 Christina Butrum weaves a good story with romance and humor。 Divorce is hard on everyone especially young children。 Ellie is a sweet little girl and quickly captures everyone’s heart。 Kip and Elizabeth have to work a bit harder。 THE COWBOY’S CHRISTMAS BRIDE （Terri Grace） – I enjoyed this story of a family coming together。 First Abner had to understand what Genesis 2:24 means when it stays to leave your father and mother。 He almost loses Barbara by failing to value her。 He has a hard lesson to learn。 A CHRISTMAS KISS FOR THE COWBOY （April Murdock） – I have enjoyed all the books in the Duncan family series and this one contains April Murdock’s signature romance， humor， family values and just plain fun。 I look forward to seeing what she has next for us。 THE COWBOY’S CHRISTMAS PROMISE （Hannah Jo Abbott） – Hannah Jo Abbott gives us a story of second chances。 The story has romance， humor and a few twists。 I look forward to reading the series set in Shelby Springs。 COWBOY CLAUS （Amelia C。 Adams） – A wonderful second chance romance and a do-over with a chance of doing it right。 Will Jeff get it right this time？ Even though short a fun story。 LET IT SNOW， COWBOY （Josephine Blake） - Josephine Blake gives us a story that shows the importance of what we speak， the power in words。 I loved this sweet story。 A FORGOTTEN HEART （Heather Blanton） – Darcy just needs a break， well， she also needs Jesus but that will be Nathan’s job。 I enjoyed this story。 A BENT CREEK CHRISTMAS （Catie Cahill） – A good start to a new series。 This author has a way of capturing your attention and keeping it。 Everyone needs a little Christmas cheer。A HOLLY JOLLY COWBOY （Parker J。 Cole） – I always enjoy a Parker J。 Cole story。 Although written from a particular ethnic point of view she proves that people are more alike than some realize。 Change the character descriptions and the rest of the story could still be the same。 This was a fun story with a few surprises。 HARVEY’S CHRISTMAS CASTASTROPHE （R。 L。 Ashly） – A fun story。 Imagine a bull as a matchmaker for an unlikely pair。 I am looking forward to the rest of the stories in 2023。 。。。more
