Welcome to The Hitching Post Hotel—certainly one of
the
star characters in this yummy family story that just
happens to take place during Christmas. THE LAWMAN'S
CHRISTMAS PROPOSAL by Barbara White Daille is about love
and weddings and of course a little bit of mistletoe Listen you can't blame a guy for trying. Mitch Weston was
just thinking of ways to help his longtime friend and
first love Andi solve a few niggling problems. He never
thought his ingenious plan would add to Andi's issues.
But that's a guy for you. Actually Mitch is a policeman and his job is to read
people and analyze situations. So it is kind of comical
he can't seem to do that in his personal life—and
especially where Andi is concerned. I guess love just
clouds a person's instincts. So in THE LAWMAN'S CHRISTMAS PROPOSAL we are faced with
an ongoing dilemma that appears to have no end and
certainly no easy remedy. But Mitch is determined to get
to the bottom of why Andi seems so distraught. Sure her
husband's sudden death leaves her with expected grief, and
now she is a single
mom. But what Mitch can't
understand is that Andi has a great support group and yet
she seems determined to distance herself from family and
friends who want to be there for her and the kids. THE LAWMAN'S CHRISTMAS PROPOSAL by Barbara White Daille
at first glance seems like a silly plan gone awry but it
really is a story about having the courage for new
beginnings. Asking for help may seem like a weakness to
some but it should be looked at as a comfort. In Cowboy Creek both Mitch and Andi are up against well-
meaning friends and family who envision a future for the
two of them together. Add a grandfather who has become
quite deft at matchmaking and you have all the makings
for a delightful romantic comedy. Barbara White Daille does a fabulous job of entertaining
for any season with THE LAWMAN'S CHRISTMAS PROPOSAL which
is relevant all year round.
SUMMARY
A husband for Christmas? Mitch Weston's back
in Cowboy Creek, and self-proclaimed matchmaker Jed Garland
has his single granddaughter Andi on his mind. Mitch is a
lawman, good with the little ones and easy on the eyes. He
and Andi were high school sweethearts, for heaven's sake!
Why can't they see they're perfect for each other?
Because Andi already lost one husband to a dangerous
job, and now she's all about playing it safe, for her sake
and her children's. Being a cop is everything to Mitch.
After discovering Jed's plan, Mitch and Andi come up with
their own: they'll pretend to get engaged and then break up
due to irreconcilable differences. Jed's got his work cut
out for him—because this match needs a Christmas
miracle!

Re: Pulling out all stops for the girl of his dreams.
Romantic comedies are my favorite romance sub-genre. I
would never have known that this was one, if not for your
review. Thanks.
