A Cowboy Christmas brought tears and smiles with the beautiful inspirational message from each author. These short stories are filled with family, friends, faith and forgiveness.
A Cowboy Christmas with a dying father without a transplant and disgruntled adoptive son gave readers insight to how forgiveness, second chances and miracles still happen.
Falling for the Christmas Cowboy gave way to hero and heroine having to overcome stumbling blocks and discovering that new opportunities wait when you set aside from your own plans and letting God control the future.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from one of the authors. I was not required to write a review but have expressed my sincere thoughts.
A COWBOY CHRISTMAS by Linda Goodnight and Ruth Logan Herne is a book with two delightful second chance love stories that happen during the Christmas holiday. They will fill your heart with love and hope while leaving you all warm and aglow with the holiday spirit.
SNOWBOUND CHRISTMAS by Linda Goodnight is the story of Caleb Girad, who having been abandoned as a child always felt looked down on and never good enough, and Kristen Andrews, always had feelings for Caleb but felt he never returned those feeling.
After a broken foot and failed relationship, Kristen finds herself back in her hometown to heal both her foot and her heart. She finds herself facing her old crush when her profession as a nurse takes her to his home in order to care for Greg, his adoptive father.
Will they find a kidney for Greg, the man that means the world to Caleb – the only person who found him worthy enough to invite into their home and their heart? Can their time together tending to Greg and trying to find him a kidney donor bring them closer together or shatter their young attraction? Can Kristen be a part in bringing Caleb back to his faith? Can a Christmas miracle bring them the healing and the love they have both desperately hoped for but never dreamed would come true?
FALLING FOR THE CHRISTMAS COWBOY by Ruth Logan Herne is the story of Ty Carrington and Jessica Lambert. Ty lost his world and his faith the day his wife and unborn child was killed in an accident. He retreated from his profession and the world by working on his parent’s ranch. There all he has to contend with were a few occasional escaped cows from a broken fence line. Jessica and her sweet daughter, Dovie, move into the house she inherited from her aunt only to find out that Ty’s family had bought it for unpaid taxes. After the past few years, after marrying someone who turned out not to love her a way a woman should be, his death, and then having to deal with his relatives trying to take her daughter away from her, this is the last thing she needs to hear.
Ty’s determination to “deal” with the squatter fast turns to sorrow for a single Mom and her adorable child especially at Christmas time when no one should be homeless. Now all he wants is to work to resolve the problem where everyone comes out on top. Jessica is determined to make it on her own and is willing to accept whatever will be know that it’s the way it’s meant to be. She doesn’t need anyone but her Lovie-Dovie – her number one priority, but she has to have a home for them to live in. Her faith is what holds her up that all will work out.
Can Dovie’s smile and charming ways weave herself around and into Ty’s heart? Is he ready to make peace with the past, and embrace his faith once again? Will Jessica’s never failing faith show him the way? Can Jessica open her heart again to another man after her past? Will Ty’s kindness and treating her like a woman should be treated prove to her that not all men are the same? Can they enjoy Christmas through the eyes of a child? Can giving Dovie the Christmas she only dreams about bring them all together as a family?
Both stories in A COWBOY CHRISTMAS will warm your heart and bring a smile to your face. What better time than Christmas to remember that with Christ all things are possible! This would be a great book to read year round for such a reminder. I loved this book and highly recommend it to anyone that loves a great Christian book that is bound to please whatever genre you love to read.
You get 2 stories in this book, and they are both worth reading. They did not feel like “novellas” they had so much packed into just over 100 pages each that they felt like full novels. I recommend these books for anyone who likes a great story that is also Christmas based!
This book is composed of two stories–one by one of my favorite cowboy romance authors, Linda Goodnight (Snowbound Christmas) and the other (Falling for the Christmas Cowboy) by a wonderful new-to-me author, Ruth Logan Herne. Both stories are set on ranches with–you guessed it–a cowboy and a strong, beautiful woman as the central characters. The story by Herne is part of the Shepherd’s Crossing series and I enjoyed it so much that I purchased another book in the series, Her Cowboy Reunion. It was great too! Highly recommend!
These two heartwarming stories are just what I needed! Everyone needs a little faith. Both stories have to do with disease of some sort. Tragic events and second chances. We all need a little help sometimes. It just seems to come when you least expect it.
Two incredibly good Christian inspirational books in one! These two authors bring us stories full of hope, faith, and love. Along with characters that have obstacles to overcome & struggle with their faith (or lack of) and come face to face with circumstances that force them to change. I fell in love with each hero & heroine and rooted for their hard-earned happily-ever-afters. All topped off with a valuable lesson learned that God can take whatever brokenness you’ve had in your life and make something beautiful of it.
If you’re looking for a heart-warming Christmas read, look no farther than “A Cowboy Christmas”! While these may be shorter stories, they still pack a punch and never felt rushed or lacked a depth of detail. I felt both were well-written by two authors who are well known in the world of Love Inspired novels!

I found this to be a delightful duet of Christmas cowboy stories. And very inspirational, too. I had never read Linda Goodnight before and surely enjoyed her contribution. Ruth Logan Herne is a favorite and the little girl in her story, Dovie, totally stole my heart right away! Very enjoyable read.
