The Mistletoe Favor

GIVEAWAY

KEMERER, JILL

THE MISTLETOE FAVOR

It will take one special cowboy to make this season bright.

After gaining guardianship of his half sister, wealthy rancher Mac Tolbert hopes a part-time job during the holidays will help the grieving teenager. New coffee shop owner Bridget Renna has been on her own since sixteen and is immediately drawn to the shy orphan -- and her handsome brother. But as Bridget grows closer to the siblings, will her troubled past ruin their chance at a Christmas together?

A Wyoming Ranchers novel.

My Review:

This is the fourth Wyoming Ranchers novel but can easily be read as a standalone. The series centers around single cowboys who are (ahem) married to their bachelorhood...but since four of 'em have found romance, you can see how well that's going. And we still have two more diehard bachelors to rein in. Yeehaw! 

I love the way Kemerer creates a community and Sunrise Bend is definitely a place I'd want to live. Aside from all the cowboys roaming around town (!) it's full of great folks with a lot of heart. Oh, there are a few bad 'uns to keep things a might interesting, but otherwise pretty near perfect.

It's been a haven for Mac, the product of a 'poor little rich boy' upbringing. He's made some lifelong friends -- even though a few of their tight knit group have gone and found love -- and that's all he needs to make his life complete. Or so he thinks.

The sudden guardianship to his teenage sister starts to mess with his carefully constructed refuge but when the new coffee shop owner is drawn into the mix, he becomes truly rattled. Because Mac is a cowboy without a lot of social graces. He's more of a work hard, ride the range kind of guy. And two girls -- one a perplexing teen, the other an even more perplexing spitfire with heart -- well, it's almost too much for a guy to take.

Cue laugh-out-loud funny moments. Ha -- I laughed so hard I had to stop and wipe the tears from my eyes every couple of sentences over the learning to drive scenes. Priceless!

But there are sweet, poignant moments in this story too. And the kind of emotional angst guaranteed to pull at the most stoic reader's heart. Plus -- this is a Christmas book that features...ta da! Christmas!!!!

A fantastic holiday romance.
