MY THOUGHTS
Christmas
with the Cowboy is the total package – humor, romance, inspiration,
and emotion. Tina Radcliffe brings a lot of depth to a story that would just be
a light romance by any other author. The Maxwell family of Big Heart Ranch returns
in this sequel that features the youngest sibling, Emma, widowed mom with the
most precious twin girls.
First of all, Christmas
with the Cowboy is truly a Christmas story. It doesn’t merely hint at the Christmas
theme, but starts with the day after Thanksgiving and goes on from there. Emma
and Zach are opposites in a way that is guaranteed to create tension – one filled
with Christmas spirit and excitement, the other’s joy blocked by painful
memories. Zach carries both physical and emotional scars, and the way he opens up
under Emma’s influence is like watching a slow thaw.
The narrative is infused with delightful humor, snappy
and witty conversation – and great chemistry between Zach and Emma. Then there’s
the themes that hooked me emotionally, from parents grieving the loss of their
son in combat, to children who need the love and security that Big Heart Ranch provides.
I especially enjoyed Zach’s mentoring of two young boys.
Christmas
with the Cowboy is a wonderful story for any time of year; but if you’re
looking for an enjoyable and fulfilling Christmas read, look no further. If you
haven’t tried any of Tina Radcliffe’s books yet, I highly recommend the Big
Heart Ranch series.
Highly recommended.
