LONG, TALL COWBOY CHRISTMAS is the second book in the Happy,
Texas series and centers around Kasey, the youngest of
the Dawson siblings. After moving back home two years ago
things are just not the same for Kasey. Her husband, Adam,
died while on a mission. This life-shattering event left
Kasey with three kids. Not wanting to be alone, she headed
back to the ranch and the comfort of family. On the ranch,
her brothers, Brody and Jace help to fill in when they can
with the kids, not trying to replace their dad but
attempting to be good uncles. Kasey watches as Brody finds
love again with Lila (TOUGHEST
COWBOY IN TEXAS).
While a wedding reception is in full swing on Hope Springs
Ranch, their dog goes to visit the neighbor. Nash decides to
take the dog back to its rightful owner and meets Hope,
Kasey's grandmother. Nash suffers from PTSD and does not
like being around people but Hope insists he attends the
reception and meets the town folk. Ms. Brown approaches PTSD
with a very insightful and learning experience that helps to
explain why Nash is withdrawn. PTSD is a disease lots of
soldiers come home with and Ms. Brown writes so the reader
can easily understand what it is like to have this disease.
Kasey knows someone is watching her but she cannot figure
out who. Slowly she makes her way around the barn and
that's when she meets Nash. There are instant fireworks and
sparks between the two. As life continues on a daily
routine, the dog decides to go visit Nash and chases the cat
up a tree. While Nash tries to save the cat he falls from
the ladder and suffers a concussion. He thinks Kasey is his
wife. I will not give away why he thinks that you will have
to read to find out. And this is where the story takes a
dramatic turn.
Carolyn Brown writes a story with so much heat and passion
you can feel the steam coming off the pages. The characters
are well thought out, with perfect backstories that help to
compliment each other and make for a truly romantic cowboy
love story. Nash is tall, with a southern drawl, and the
kind of cowboy that will sweep you off your feet just by
looking at you. Kasey is a fiery redhead with a temper and
an independent streak that will not back down once she makes
her mind up. Together, they are ideal for each other but not
everyone in the family agrees. Kasey must decide if it is
time to move on from the death of Adam or stay in the past.
The setting of the two ranches being next door to each other
help to make the story have more drama and gives it that
true country feel of neighbor helping neighbor. LONG, TALL
COWBOY CHRISTMAS is full of love, hope, loss, sadness, and
second chances. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a
good cowboy romance.
Nash Lamont is a man about as solitary as they come.
That's exactly why ranch life in middle-of-nowhere Happy,
Texas suits him. So what the heck is he doing letting a
beautiful widow and her three rambunctious children
temporarily move in? Before he knows it, they're
stringing Christmas lights and decorating the tree... and
he's having the time of his life. But after everything
he's been through, Nash knows this kind of happiness
doesn't last.
Kasey Dawson thought she'd never get over the death of
her husband. Nash, with his strong hands and infinite
patience, is stirring something she hasn't felt in a long
time. Kasey knows the sexy cowboy isn't telling her
everything about this past, though. And she refuses to
risk heartbreak all over again. But her kids have a plan
of their own: Nothing will keep them from having a real
family again-even if it takes a little help from Santa
himself.
