“Greenwood is a master at westerns.” ―RT Book Reviewsfor Leigh Greenwood

“An emotional powerhouse! This classic historical western is destined for the “keeper” shelf.” ―RT Book ReviewsTop Pick for Rosanne Bittner

“Fun and sensual…great for fans of history, romance, and some good old Texas grit.” ―Kirkus for Linda Broday

“A great story by a wonderful author.”―#1 New York Times bestselling author DEBBIE MACOMBER for Margaret Brownley

“The perfect read.” ―RT Book Reviews for Anna Schmidt
“A genuine page-turner…electric and absorbing.” ―Kirkus for Amy Sandas

Anytime of the year is a great time for a Christmas story or two (or six) set in the Old West. Each story in this collection presents a strong female character who is fully capable of tackling the harsh frontier, and many of these women reverse the stereotype and ‘rescue’ the main male character from certain death. How refreshing!

Each story promises a romance that is completely sweet and sometimes steamy enough to cut through a Christmas Eve blizzard.

A Fairy Tale Christmas by Leigh Greenwood starts this collection off with a beautiful story about a child and her father bringing joy to Nan’s heart and brightening a Christmas destined to be lonely and bereft of family and joy.

Christmas in Paradise by Rosanne Bittner shifts into a somewhat different theme as the main female character, Maggie, was brutally mistreated but now finds herself surrounded by love and acceptance and hope for a bright future with Sage Lightfoot, who loves her unconditionally.

A Christmas Wedding by Linda Broday is a wonderful vignette from the Outlaw Mail Order Brides series that focuses on one of my favorite characters, Rebel Avery. Rebel’s character in this series is interesting and full of opportunity for more development, so having a little story about her and her Christmas wish will definitely be an added bonus for fans of this series.

A Love Letter to Santa by Margaret Brownley has both humorous and serious moments, offering two main characters, Holly and Tom, who get off to a rocky (and noisy) start. Both are goodhearted and magnetically drawn to each other. The way Holly addresses her students’ letters (and Tom’s discarded letter) to Santa is heartwarming, inspiring, and delightful.

One Snowy Christmas Eve by Anna Schmidt is a unique story because Evelyn is a new doctor in town who faces the uphill battle of being taken seriously as a female physician. This story has another unique feature in that Evelyn has a past history with the man she tirelessly nurses back to health. Evelyn and Colin have obviously been brought back together for a reason, but will they give each other a second chance?

Through the Storm by Amy Sandas ends this collection with a blizzard, an outlaw Scotsman, and a woman living alone in the mountains. When said blizzard traps these two together in a small cabin, the sparks can barely be contained. The dynamics between George and Lucy are both steamy and lovely, and they both discover that it is okay to let someone into your heart and trust them to fill the next chapter of life with love and hope.

As you can see, all of these stories will capture your heart; kindle the spirit of the season; and fill your imagination with romance, second chances, and a Christmas miracle or two.

  1. Ruthie, thank you so much for the sweet words about Longing for a Cowboy Christmas! I’m so happy you took these characters into your heart and let them fill you with the Christmas spirit. I especially loved what you said about Rebel and Travis. They really needed that miracle. Rebel has proven to be a very generous and loving person over the course of this series and I love how she’s grown. Thank you again, dear friend.

    • My pleasure entirely! I breezed through these stories on my way home from Ireland, making that long flight quite enjoyable. All of the stories are delightful, and I really was glad to see Avery shine in her very own story.

    • Thank you! I definitely felt each story deserved its own mention because they are all so entertaining and fun.
