THE AMISH CHRISTMAS COWBOY
A cowboy for Christmas...or another year in the Amish Spinster Club?
Nanny Sarah Kuhns has her hands full with kinder, her overbearing brothers and her big dreams. And it only gets worse when she takes on the care of an injured cowboy. For Amish traveling horseman Toby Christner, tight-knit Harmony Creek represents everything he's run from. Until he heals, he can't leave...but will falling for Sarah make him want to stay?
My Review:
published in 2018
A cowboy for Christmas? Yes please! Even though it's July. Toby can rustle up a happily every after any time of the year as far as I'm concerned. :-) He's such an interesting Amish hero -- reluctant and wounded and living Amish in the Englisch world. He's used to keeping himself apart but when a work-related injury forces him to stay put for two months, his practiced reserve slowly crumbles. Thanks to Nanny Sarah's unorthodox bedside manner and her mischievous charges. So many wonderful, heartwarming moments in this story. And laugh-out-loud funny ones. A charming light-on-Christmas sweet romance.
I listened to the audible version of this book partly because Susan Boyce is the narrator and her delivery is spot-on when it comes to Jo Ann Brown's storytelling style. A great pairing -- and I see that they've partnered for the whole series. Eeep!
So, yes, this is the second book in the Amish Spinster Club series but they can all be read as a standalone. I read the third book first and then this one and I had no issues connecting with either story. Love that the series is based on four single friends who have formed a tongue-in-cheek spinster club in a new Amish settlement.
