The review --
This is a very nice
historical western romance book about a couple of widows who organize some
Christmas events for the singles in their small town, and 2 cowboys who take
part. It's a very nice book, and a fun read. I enjoyed it a lot. My only ding
against it is the one sex scene in the book that just didn't feel like it fits.
Feels like it was added to add some 'spice' to the book, which it didn't need.
Otherwise, it's a great book. The characters are fun to read about, and the
story is very enjoyable. If not for the thrown in sex scene, this would have
been a 5 star book.
