CHRISTMAS WITH MY COWBOY is actually three stories contributed by different authors. The first story is THE SNOWMAN by Diana Palmer, and in this holiday tale, there are two matchmakers hard at work. Two beautiful furry creatures that seem to have fallen in love with each others' person and as time will tell do their best to get two very estranged folks together. It's a huge struggle as in all Diana Palmer stories that center on a strong man struggling with attraction to the wrong woman for him, and he uses a sharp tongue to keep a healthy distance between them.

In THE SNOWMAN Dal Blake is truly the nastiest man Diana Palmer has ever created. The only redeeming quality is his love and kindness for animals. His reputation with women proceeds him but to Meadow Dawson, he is just mean and nasty, and his careless barbs cut her to her core. It's going to take a miracle to bridge the gap between Dal and Meadow.

Fans of Diana Palmer are going to feel right at home in CHRISTMAS WITH MY COWBOY. There is a very distinct manner in which Diana Palmer fashions her characters. I often find myself laughing when I realize how familiar the lead actors in her latest show are. And yet I am always entertained, and that's why I decided to read and review CHRISTMAS WITH MY COWBOY with Diana Palmer's THE SNOWMAN as her contribution. FYI the second story to be included with this book is by Lindsay McKenna, and the third is by Margaret Way. As always Lindsay McKenna was joyously entertaining in KASSIE'S COWBOY, and HER OUTBACK HUSBAND was the first story I've read by Margaret Way. Love meeting new authors and really liked her writing style.
