About the book:
The future looks merry
and bright…
The little town of
Branding Iron, Texas, keeps an annual tradition that makes the holidays
especially festive—the Cowboys’ Christmas Ball. But Sheriff Ben Marsden, busy
with work, joint custody of his son, and caring for his aging mother, has no
plans to attend. Not until a pretty
newcomer to his small town gets involved in the planning. Suddenly Ben finds
himself wanting to keep a close eye on Jessica Ramsey, and not just because her
relatives seem to be in jail more than out. He can tell the mysterious redhead
has secrets in her past, but now that she’s bought a little fixer upper with
her mom to start a bed and breakfast, the whole family’s turning over a new
leaf. With the prospect of dancing and celebrating ahead, surely there’s time
for everyone to unwind. Because this year, more than ever, Ben’s got
Christmas—and loving—on his mind.

The review --
This was a good book,
but not a great book. I got a little bored in a few places. The very beginning
is good, and it really picks up towards the end. It doesn't have any sex scenes
in it at all, which I was good with. Just has some good kissing scenes. The
characters are strong, and the story is interesting.
Overall, it's a book I
enjoyed and would gladly recommend. It has a wonderful ending and makes for a
very nice Christmas read, especially for those who prefer books with no sex
scenes in them.
This book has a good storyline, good characters, and very
Christmassy too. Just an all around good book that makes for great Christmas
reading.
