The Cowboy's Christmas Bride

This is the first book I read by Ms LeClair, and it certainly won’t be the last. I truly loved it. The story centers around Cassidy James McCall. A young woman that left the love of her life, in order to pursue a career as a country singer. When she was reaching the stars, life threw her more than one curveball and now she is back home in Honor, TX, hoping to recover her voice and self-worth. Literally by accident, she crashes into Ryder Hadley . The man she let go and left behind. He is now a widower with a young child that idolizes Cassidy. Feelings are still there for both, but neither wants to have his daughter hurt, nor do they want to go through the pain of letting go once again. While the plot, the main characters as well as the secondary characters, were well developed, what I liked best was the underlying message. It’s a story reminding us that when we are down, someone is there to help us. That love and family are what’s really important and that with a little faith in us , God and others, life should be lived and treasured. A lovely reminder not only during the holiday season, but all year long. I was gifted this book by Tule Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Ryder is widowed an wants nothing more than to raise his little girl in the small town as he works to revive his ranch. When Ryder and Cassidy reunite, is it too much to hope for an everlasting love? This is one of those books that sucks you in and gives you all the good-feels, makes you want to live in that small town, and be a part of this family. I really enjoyed this book, and I highly recommend it.
