Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Janet Dailey combines the beloved holiday traditions of small-town Branding Iron, Texas, with sparkling romance....

She’s all he wants for Christmas. Maybe even forever....

Conner Branch still hasn’t stopped thinking about the sultry singer he spotted on stage during last year’s Cowboy Christmas Ball. So imagine his surprise when he discovers the demure kindergarten teacher who comes home for the holidays to Branding Iron, Texas, is the very same woman. And once he’s up close and personal with the mesmerizing Megan, he’s downright determined to keep her by his side for good....

If only Conner Branch were simply the starstruck cowboy she once believed him to be, Megan wouldn’t have to worry about losing everything to the rugged - and wildly romantic - rancher. With Christmas in the air, it’s a little too easy to imagine spending the holidays, not to mention her whole life, wrapped in Conner’s loving arms.

But this songstress has hopes for a big career back in Nashville, and no little holiday romance will ever get in the way of that. So what’s a woman to do when she finds herself facing down a love as bold and exciting as Texas itself?

Easy romantic tale

I am enjoying the Janet Daiky Christmas stories. This one, like the others, has great characters, a touch of drama, a few twists and turns and a couple underlying romances.

Better

Of the 3 stories about the Christmas Ranch cowboy trio, I think this one was the best. It dealt with a few more serious issues which made it more interesting. I like the writing style and while I still struggled with some of the POV, I think the resolution for the FMC cleared up her confused thinking. There is not a HEA but a HFN ending. As usual the narration was great! I recommend this book & series.

Imagies

Love the characters and their friends as they build their lives in this story. Sometimes we project an image for others to see . Sometimes it hides who we really are. Love can prove that real is all we need. The reader did a very good job with the story and characters. Think you will really enjoy the story .

Heartfelt

This series has been so comforting, showing of compassion for those who may have difficulties in one form or another. This series has proven that Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Its tails of real struggles., family, and love.
