This author always brings a smile to my face as she gives you a wonderfully written story with such passion but is still able to give you a clean read. The Christmas Cowboy isn't just a Christmas time read but a read for anytime you just want a nice read filled with a little mystery, rodeos, cowboys, a hot tempters lady, that toes the line and pushes just a little with passion. I really enjoyed this read of passing in the night trying to make times for each other when they live hours away along with traveling to get in their way. This author shows if there is a will and love you can make it work.

Kenzie has been burnt before with cheating cowboys. First her father who she adored and than her ex she has no time for men in cowboy boots who do not know how to keep their hands to themselves. She keeps running into Tate every time she gets on a plane. There is just something about him she can't walk away. With many misunderstanding there just doesn't seem to be a way to make this work. Kenzie is just a lovely kind sweet lady who gives so much of herself to those she loves. Love has not been kind to her she has trust issues and doesn't take time to really think things over as she flies off the hand and runs to save her heart.

Tate is just a good old sweet cowboy who never would cheat, he isn't into settling down but with one lady catches his attention it looks more like he just might be hooked. That is if he can get the lady in question to stop jumping to the wrong concussion. He might just have to tie her down to make her listen. The women do seem to love this man as much as I do. He is innocent of all charges. This is a man every woman would be honored to call their own. When he gets hurt it will break your heart he was doing so well but his head isn't in the game. Will he win at love or will he lose all his dreams.

I just loved Tate's father he is a sweet heart and gives Tate words of wisdom. Tate doesn't need them as she chases the women across the country to make her his. You will love each character as this author puts a smile on your face. You have stalkers which will bring danger, love like no other which will last a lifetime.

I listened to this on audio with Luke E. Andreen as the narrator. He does a wonderful job with his tones and emotions as he brings this story to life. You always know which character is talking by his many different voices. You can hear the hurt, passion, love, anger, laughter in his voice and he gives a compelling voice to this wonderful story. This audio flows easy with no breaks or background noise. He makes you fall in love with each character as your heart breaks for Tate and all the misunderstands that comes his way. Luke as a wonderful voice that is smooth and flows easy to the ears. At times he has a very sexy voice that pulls you in and takes you away. I have enjoyed listening to him very much.

This is a well told story with a wonderful plot full of pain, sorrow, loss and love. There will be times you will laugh and others where you are sad. This is one author that knows how to pull on your heartstrings. I love the characters and found this to be a very believable read. At times I forgot it was fiction as the author and narrator took me away to a wonderful ride in the rodeos. If you haven't read the Rodeo Romance this is the one you want to start with. There is still enough time to read both books before the new one comes out.

Book Description
You never know where you'll run into love...

Flying from city to city in her job as a busy corporate trainer for a successful direct sales company, Kenzie Beckett doesn’t have time for a man. And most certainly not for the handsome cowboy she keeps running into at the airport. Burned twice, she doesn’t trust anyone wearing boots and Wranglers, especially someone as charming and handsome as Tate Morgan.
Among the top saddle bronc riders in the rodeo circuit, easy-going Tate Morgan can handle the toughest horse out there, but trying to handle the beautiful Kenzie Beckett is a completely different story.
As the holiday season approaches, this Christmas Cowboy is going to need more than a little mistletoe to win her heart.
