Caleb Watson is the younger brother of Hank, from the previous romance, and we’re treated to his and Amy’s romance here in Her Christmas Cowboy. I loved every minute!
I’m loving Jessica Clare’s Wyoming Cowboy series, and the last couple of books with these shy cowboys from Alaska have melted my heart! I will say to have a little patience with Caleb and Amy’s romance because it does take some time before Caleb makes any headway. An assumption about some of Amy’s secret-admirer-gifts leads to a bit of confusion that pauses their progress, but I just adored these two together even when they got their signals crossed. Caleb is such a sweetheart, and Amy was a girl in need of a good man as the last one gave out Sleeping with the Enemy vibes! Yikes!
Now I’m dying to start the next Wyoming Cowboys story which
centers on Jack Watson, the more outgoing, sort of ladies’ man of the brothers!
Caleb Watson has been crushing on elementary school teacher Amy Mckinney ever since he saw her. She's oblivious to his feelings--probably because he's never said a word to her. But when he learns Amy's going to be Mrs. Claus in the local Christmas celebration, he volunteers to be Santa so he'll finally have the chance to introduce himself. Even more than that, he'll use this opportunity to shower her with presents.
Amy's been receiving all kinds of Secret Santa gifts at work -- and she has no idea who her secret admirer is. She wishes he'd make himself known so they can go on a date, though, because being a newcomer in close-knit Painted Barrel, Wyoming, is pretty lonely. When her flaky landlord claims he's the gift giver...it's not quite the bachelor Amy had in mind. However, she's doubly shocked when gruff newcomer Caleb Watson crashes her date and insists he's really the one leaving her presents.
Amy's not sure what to think. Caleb's never indicated that he likes her, much less wants to date. Can he prove to Amy he's not just the perfect Santa to her Mrs. Claus, but the man of her dreams?
This looks like it was the perfect read for the upcoming holidays! I need to see if I can grab this as well. Wonderful review!
ReplyDeleteIt would be a perfect read for the holiday season. I forgot to mention that the cover is from a scene in the story, and I thought it sounded so pretty.
DeleteI'm not sure what it is about cowboy books, but I just can't seem to get into them. I've read a couple of Clare book that I've enjoyed though. Also, I'm all about the holiday books this year, so maybe I'll give this a shot.
ReplyDeleteThe cowboy part of this book is pretty small, so maybe you'd like it? I'd recommend it for sure. :)
DeleteAww Caleb sounds like a cutie! For some reason, every time I read a cowboy book, I rate it 3 stars or less. There's something about the sub-genre that doesn't seem to appeal to me.
ReplyDeleteThe cowboy part doesn't play a big part so maybe this one would work for you.
DeleteCowboys from Alaska? I am intrigued. That's wonderful that you are enjoying the series so much.
ReplyDeleteYep, just cowboys in the way that they help care for their uncle's ranch.
DeleteWow, I've never considered cowboys from Alaska. What an interesting blend. I love when a man is so intent of wooing his lady. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was very sweet!
DeleteThis is a series that definitely have me happy to anticipate them. That's funny about him stumbling through his words. I'm glad she had patience with him.
ReplyDeleteCaleb was so sweet. I really felt for him when he struggled to get his words out. He had such a big heart!
DeleteLove the sound of this one!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you like it, Lark! :)
DeleteI read and enjoyed the first book in this series. This looks like a delightful romance. I love the setting.
ReplyDeleteHope you get to the rest. I think the first book was the weakest in the series, but I enjoyed that one, too. :)
Deletei don't read a lot of cowboy stories. as a teenager, i used to swipe my dad's reads when he wasn't looking. louis lamour was always a hit

I just read Sophia's review on a Louis L'Amour book and now I want to read *listen* to it. Can you believe I've never read one?
DeleteSounds perfect for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteHello!! I like your blog so I started following it. You can visit my blog to see the reviews I write :) Have a nice day
ReplyDeleteI never read Hank's book, but I wanna!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this author before but this sounds like a good book.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to see more and more holiday books on people's blogs! It's crazy to think that we're still in a pandemic with so many family events right around the corner. Lovely review!

I've read this but I won't post my review until December. I wouldn't have read it but I used this for my Series of the Month in September. The next one is already on Netgalley and I have it. Amy and Caleb are both lovely people. Wonderful review!
