Meet Merry, or is it Mary? And you can only guess that the masculine part of the story is Bright! Merry is working temp work for a company and has a rather disagreeable supervisor, Jay Bright. Her family talks her into using an online dating app because she hasn’t dated in such a long time. I really enjoyed reading about this part of the story because it was humorous and so sweet! This is another fine Christmas story by Debbie Macomber that will warm your heart and make you smile.

Have a very merry holiday season with this collection of three engaging, “Cowboy” contemporary romance stories. Take a trip to snowy Colorado or perhaps you’d also enjoy going to Wyoming to find love ! The third story may require a bigger suitcase as you go across the Pacific to Australia to find a handsome cowboy “down under”. No doubt about it, you’ll love these three stories about second chances and lost love. Three of my favorite authors and three outstanding holiday stories!

A gem of a story!
Ellie Marsden comes back to Branding Iron after leaving her big city job. She drives in with her little poodle, newly divorced and very pregnant. She can’t wait to get to the small town with a slower pace and to enjoy the safety of her mother’s home. Immediately she has her sister-in-law wanting her to go to her restaurant and Ellie runs into the reason that she left town ten years ago. Jubal McFarland is still a tall, rugged hunk, but now he is a widower with a darling daughter, Gracie. Slowly Ellie and Jubal both learn that they both want to stay away from each other but they can’t deny the old feelings are still there after all this time. I really enjoyed this tender love story of second chances that engages you until the very end. Great characters and a sweet story that would appeal to anyone who loves contemporary romance.
