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.
From the snowy, wind-whipped prairie to the remote
Australian Outback, a cowboy’s loving kiss makes this
Christmas merry and bright . . .
“The Snow Man” by Diana Palmer
Meadow Dawson needs Santa to deliver a solution to her
management of the Colorado ranch she’s inherited. Cattleman
Dal Blake just wants his pretty neighbor’s dog to quit
digging under his fence. This Christmas, the unexpected gift
of love will surprise them both.
“Kassie’s Cowboy” by Lindsay McKenna
A brutal blue norther is battering Wyoming just in time for
Christmas when solitary former Marine Travis Grant finds his
childhood sweetheart, Kassie Murphy, injured in her car just
beyond the ranch where he works. For Travis and Kassie, this
snowy silent night will be one last chance to put the
painful past behind them—and treat the wounds only love can
heal.
“Her Outback Husband” by Margaret Way
Scott and Darcey MacArthur were the perfect couple, devoted
to their life together on the family cattle ranch. With one
blistering rumor, it ended in heartbreak—but Scott’s mother
has a scheme that will reunite them in the Outback for a
holiday that will prove it’s the season for forgiveness.
