Tanner "Tag" Cardwell just wanted to surprise his father
with a visit to his birthplace of Big Sky, Montana. For
some unknown reason he wanted to have a little CHRISTMAS AT
CARDWELL RANCH. He has no idea that this innocent attempt
to get to know the father he had little contact with since
he was 12 would end up in secret codes and murder.
Lily McCabe, is a math professor who is helping her brother
out at his bar during the holidays. After being stood up at
the altar she has no plans on doing anything but spending
Christmas with her brother. She has absolutely no plans to
get involved with some strange cowboy and definitely not a
murder mystery. But when one of the girls who works for her
brother goes missing in very strange circumstances and Tag
is the last to see her she finds herself very involved.
Tag is really enjoying the atmosphere around his Cousin
Dana's ranch and family making him glad he had come to see
his dad, even if he wasn't seeing much of him.
Additionally he is finding Lily intriguing but the fact is,
his home and life is now in Texas and hers is here. No
matter what plans anyone has the world they know is about
to take a violent turn. But once the smoke clears, all the
secrets long held come out and a danger, from the past, to
the Cardwell family is taken care of ... is it possible for
the cowboy and the professor to have any kind of chance.
Maybe if they have a little Christmas magic and a lot of
luck.
If you are looking for an action packed storyline with
danger, romance and touches of Christmas then CHRISTMAS AT
CARDWELL RANCH is just the book for you. The romance
between Tag and Lily is somewhat overshadowed with so much
happening in a short time, but what is there will give the
reader the feeling that they must keep reading to find out
what happens next. Author B.J. Daniels gives us a very
different kind of Christmas book, it isn't overly sappy but
it does give touches of simple family Christmas. I loved
Tag's cousin Dana's desire to give a pathetic tree a
Christmas and I could almost smell the gingerbread baking.
I can't wait to see what else Ms. Daniels does with this
family.
