Katherine Garbera tackles the tough topic of returning
vets in HER CHRISTMAS COWBOY. The vets come home and are
treated as heroes, as they should be, but what these
brave men and women really need is to be accepted and
welcomed back home. In HER CHRISTMAS COWBOY
Garbera beautifully illustrates how some of these
disastrous injuries can be tackled and with the help of
medical science and guts these vets can regain most of
their independence and confidence.
Lane Scott and Felicity Danvers each grew up in small town
Marietta Montana. Went to school together and had candidly
known each other and their respective families forever it
seemed. The Scott brothers are a tight group of wonderful
guys who love their parents. Losing their mother had left
a permanent whole in their lives. Felicity had a close
relationship with her own sibling, her sister, and now
that their father was gone the two sisters had sort of
closed ranks to help their mother adjust to the loss of
her beloved husband. Both families had to adjust to their
new normal so to speak.
Lane had left Marietta, glad to get away from the small
town - joined the service and suffered severe injuries
when an IED exploded. Lane has been busy trying to adjust
to what is now his new normal and has admirably adapted to
the prosthesis' that replace his lower legs. Psychological
issues will take longer to settle.
Both Lane and Felicity have had to face the fact that
perfect is overrated. Felicity is her own worst enemy in
many cases. She is so sure that relationships are for
other people, not for her. Felicity sees herself through
the eyes of others. What she needs to do is learn just how
wonderful she truly is and that there are lots of people
that love her, just the way she is.
You might say Lane and Felicity are perfect for one
another. Each one has to learn that being perfect is
highly overrated. Felicity shows Lane how love levels the
field. She acknowledges Lanes injury but is willing and
eager to reach beyond those to the man she has been
attracted to for a very long time. It almost seems as if
Lane has the biggest hurdle to deal with when getting
through to Felicity and her insecurities.
Holiday time is a special time for most folks. It is a
great time for new beginnings and both Lane and Felicity
highly deserve the opportunity to reap the rewards of a
new relationship between the two of them. Each is gun shy
but anything worth having is worth the battle.
HER CHRISTMAS COWBOY is about taking risks, risks with
your heart. Garbera has penned a lovely seasonal
romance novel that reminds us of this miraculous season.
HER CHRISTMAS COWBOY is about taking stock of what we are
grateful for, plain and simple. HER CHRISTMAS COWBOY is a
feel good tale about love and acceptance in an imperfect
world.
There's no place like Marietta, Montana for the holidays, and
retired Marine Lane Scott has finally, reluctantly, returned
home...
...only to run into a sweet and sexy woman from his past,
Felicity Danvers, who is running away from her Christmas
loving momma.
Lane can’t resist playing the hero and sweeping Felicity out
of town. He vows he’ll do everything he can to make this
holiday special for her. And as Christmas approaches, they
discover that their love can conquer and overcome any
obstacle—but can they both trust that it’s not just Christmas
magic bringing them together?
