Merry Cowboy Christmas

Briar's Reviews

To begin with, I mistakenly picked this book up thinking it was a continuation of another lovely cowboy series by Carolyn Brown. While I might have been disappointed that I picked up the wrong book at a charity book sale, it was still a real joy picking up ANOTHER series by Carolyn Brown! This book itself is not a disappoint my any means!

I love ooey gooey romances especially with cowboys and Christmas. Who doesn't love a good Christmas story?! Especially in Summer (which is when I initially read this book). I wanted something light, fun and cute and this book fit the bill! Lucky me!

These love stories are PG-13 with a dash of sex. It's not erotica, but it does have about half of page of sexiness. It's your typical romance stories with lots of fluff, lots of cute comments and happy endings! There's no cliffhangers and no nasty drama! 

In this book, Fiona and Jud are our leads. Fiona ran far away from home to be a career woman and her marriage didn't work out. So here she is, back at home during Christmas time, and she runs into Jud. He helps her out during a little car accident and they find out that both of them are staying together in the same house! They end up spending the Christmas season together with Fiona's family, Jud's family and lots of friendly neighbors! 

Fiona and Jud have a lovely friendship that develops into one steamy romance! Their ending is also one for the romance books, but what more can you expect from Carolyn Brown?

I felt like this book was just long enough and had just enough romance and action. The drama was sweet, the family moments were lovely and it was everything I could have wanted. I can't find much wrong with it other than the fact that I messed up reading the wrong series! I would have loved to start at book one so I felt more connected with the rest of the family. That being said, you don't need to read the rest of the series to pick this book up. It's an easy read that you can jump into. Carolyn fills in all of the background information that you need. 

I'd highly recommend this book to my romance lovers out there! This book is sweet and easy to read! It's packed full of a lovely family and community that makes me yearn to move to Lucky Penny Ranch myself. Despite being almost three hundred pages, the book was so addicting and I flew through it super quickly. 

Overall, super cute and super fluffy! I need more books like this in my life right now!

Five out of five stars!

P.S. I picked this book up at a charity book sale and I'm kind of curious how a book that isn't reviewed much on Goodreads is in my small hometown. It was very shocking to find Carolyn's book and I am PUMPED that I found a few of them! I guess someone in my city has good tastes!

I have read this author from time to time but I was browsing some holiday titles and I stumbled across the cover, and was like "GIMME" and then I read the blurb and I knew that I needed this book in my life. I started listening to this book and pretty quickly I knew that this would a book I would be having a fun time with and I was SO RIGHT. This book was hilarious and charming and full of small town goodness I always get a kick out of in a well written small town romance. This is the third book in the series though, so there could be a question on whether or not you would want to wait until you read the first two books. However, I didn't need to read the previous books to enjoy this one and I definitely did. There were many things that I loved, first off, this is the perfect book to read for Christmas. We see it go from Thanksgiving all the way through Christmas, and seeing the traditions of Christmas, decorating, baking goodies, and planning Christmas parties and turning a mean old Scrooge into Santa Claus. Its a truly festive read that gives you all the feels.

And now onto the romance, *sigh* aww this love story was so enchanting and I truly adored seeing these two come together, and learn what it means to love and find yourself. We see what great people they are at the core, and especially the heroine we see go on her journey of finding her true self and seeing what really matters in life. The dynamics of their relationship from beginning to end proved pretty interesting. At first a fling, because the heroine plans on leaving home eventually, but then the heart gets in the way but she also has to resolve some issues she has about herself before she can truly find happiness and it was really illuminating seeing her come to this conclusion. The hero is so steady and sure of himself and what he wants, hardworking and a good heart and definitely book boyfriend material for sure.

I decided to read this book yesterday evening because I was bored.

I really liked this book. It is well written and I loved the setting of this book. 
It is a quick, easy and sweet Christmas read that got my entertained and got me to keep reading until the very end. 

This is the first book I hae read by Carolyn Brown but it will not be the last. I can't wait to read more of her books.
