SWEET COWBOY CHRISTMAS is Book four in Candis Terry's
Sweet,
Texas series. This novella has just as much charm as
the
previous books in the series. Although the book's
description describes Chase as a "Scrooge", I really
didn't
think of him that way while reading SWEET COWBOY
CHRISTMAS.
He does have an aversion to Christmas, but he's not
obnoxious about it. The journey he takes in SWEET COWBOY
CHRISTMAS and the love he finds are not due to any
Christmas ghosts that warn him to change his ways.
Instead,
he comes to the decision on his own to alter his path in
life.
At the opening of SWEET COWBOY CHRISTMAS, Chase Morgan is
a
man forced to re-evaluate his lifestyle due to a health
scare. I love how Candis Terry gives Chase such a
multifaceted personality. Even though he is a wealthy New
York executive, that does not define him. He is a Texas
country boy at heart and does a lot of introspection in
this book. I love that he's not a stereotype. I like that
when he comes to Sweet, he tries to blend in and make
friends with town locals rather than adopt a snobbish
attitude. The banter between him and Faith is electric
from
the very beginning.
I like that Chase and Faith make their mutual attraction
known to each other right away rather than deny it or try
to play games. One of my favorite things about SWEET
COWBOY
CHRISTMAS is that both main characters are intelligent and
likeable. While being such a strong woman in every other
respect, Faith's insecurities that she has because of a
former relationship make her more real. I think Chase is a
little quicker than Faith to realize how things truly
stand
between them. I love that SWEET COWBOY CHRISTMAS defies
genre conventions and has the male character move the
relationship and emotional intimacy forward. There is a
sweetness and sexiness to their relationship that makes
the
story so enjoyable.
SWEET COWBOY CHRISTMAS is a great love story and says
something about hope and the importance of connecting with
others. The Christmas backdrop adds a nice element to the
story without being saccharine. The story is very
character-
driven. I can't wait for the next book in this series!
Mistletoe, holly, and cowboys, oh my! Christmas in Texas
has
never been sweeter.
Years ago, Chase Morgan traded in his dusty cowboy boots
for
the shimmering lights of New York City and a fast track up
the corporate ladder. But when his shiny life is turned on
end just in time for Christmas, Chase knows he needs to
reevaluate—even if that means going home to Texas to
endure
his least favorite holiday.
When Mr. Tall, Dark, and Smoking-Hot walks through her
door
at the Magic Box Guest Ranch, Faith Walker sees just
another
handsome, rich exec looking to play cowboy for a week—at
her
expense. She's sure the grumpy-but-sexy-as-hell Scrooge
will
put a crimp in her holly jolly plans. Until a sizzling
kiss
has her seeing him in a new light.
Chase is haunted by secrets, and even though it goes
entirely against her "hands off the guests" rule, Faith is
tempted to help him leave the past behind. As the magic of
the season swirls around them, she is determined to
succeed,
because now she is certain one sweet cowboy Christmas will
never be enough.
