Mistletoe
Magic
Spending a quiet Christmas housesitting and reading novels about
hot cowboys sounds perfect to Caitlin Butler. Until a stray kitten brings her
face-to-face with Noah, her crush from college. Watching the handsome vet in
action melts Caitlin's heart and brings back long forgotten emotion. She would
be safer back at the house lost in the pages of a book. But a toe-curling
mistletoe kiss tempts her to stay. Maybe she won't be spending this
Christmas... alone.
Veterinarian Noah Sullivan isn't a Scrooge, but the Christmas Eve
tradition of hanging mistletoe in the clinic's waiting room annoys him. Kissing
doesn't belong at the Copper Mountain Animal Hospital. Noah rethinks his
position when Caitlin arrives with a stray kitten she found freezing in the
snow. All he wants now is to maneuver the pretty preschool teacher under the
mistletoe. If he's not careful, he'll wind up on Santa's naughty list.
Kiss Me,
Cowboy
She didn’t mean to kiss him…
When dude ranch wrangler Charlotte – aka Charlie – Randall kisses
Zack Harris in an act of empathy, she falls hat over spurs for the handsome
military veteran turned cowboy. Zack has too many demons, however, and refuses
to get involved. A year later, he's still stonewalling, and Charlie needs to
move on with her life so she can find a fulfilling relationship, not
frustrating unrequited love. Putting distance between them seems the best way
to get Zack out of her head and heart...but that means quitting the job she
loves and accepting a position in Colorado.
He didn’t mean to kiss her back…
Growing up, Zack longed for a real family, and had one with his
squad while deployed in Afghanistan. Now, he's back in the States and doesn't
want anything messing up his new ranch family, no matter how much he's
attracted to the sexy, hard-working Charlie. She could break his heart and ruin
the comfortable working relationship they and the other wranglers enjoy. Besides,
her friends claim she's looking for the perfect guy, and perfect he's not.
A kiss is just a kiss…or is it?
When Zack learns Charlie's thinking about leaving the ranch, he
decides to find her a boyfriend — someone so good, so perfect, she has a reason
to stay in Montana. Until he realizes too late that the only cowboy he wants
her kissing is him. Can he commit to love and convince Charlie not to leave? Or
has she made up her mind to put the past, and the kiss that started it all,
behind her and move on without him?
Mistletoe
Wedding
Longer: Event planner at the Bar V5 Dude Ranch, Meg Redstone is
dreaming of a white Christmas with twinkling lights, sparkly decorations and
strategically placed mistletoe. She loves making dreams come true for others,
whether planning a holiday wedding or giving her young daughter the best
Christmas ever.
Ranch foreman Tyler Murphy loves the holidays, but his newest
employee has taken over his barn with her over-the-top decorations. He admires
Meg’s desire to give her daughter the perfect Christmas while planning a winter
wonderland wedding, but he wants to show her that a Montana Christmas is more
than glitter and lights.
After raising his younger sister, an instant family is not on Ty's
Christmas wish list. But he finds himself falling hard for the single mom and
her little girl. Meg, however, is not interested in a romance with a cowboy
like Ty, or any man. Getting her under the mistletoe is going to take a
Christmas miracle . . . or a little help from Santa.

My Thoughts on the Stories:
You can catch me anytime with a cute cat on the cover. What makes these three stories so great
is the combination of cat and Christmas.
I love Christmas Romances and can never get enough. I also love stories where I do not have
to skim pages of body parts trying to do something new. These three have just good clean old-fashioned
romance. If you feel the same
these three stories are for you.
Start with Mistletoe Magic where you meet Mistletoe (that is
him on the cover), Caitlin Butler and Noah Sullivan. Follow up with Kiss Me Cowboy where Caitlin and Noah show up
as part of Charlotte Randall and Zack Harris’s story. Then on to Mistletoe Wedding where again Caitlin and Noah
play a part in Meg Redstone and Tyler Murphy’s Christmas romance. Oh! Mistletoe does make an appearance in all the stories.
EXCERPT:
MISTLETOE MAGIC
The clinic’s front door opened.
A woman in a puffy powder blue down coat entered.
Her hat pushed long strands of brown hair over her face. She carried something
bundled in a black and white checked fleece blanket. “Please help me.”
The crack in her voice and pale complexion sent him
into action. Two long strides, he was at her side. “I’m Noah. A vet.”
Worried green eyes met his. Familiar eyes, except
these weren’t as young and innocent as the ones he remembered. These eyes were
wary and concerned. But they still reminded him of that girl he’d just thought
about, the freshman with cute freckles and twinkling jade-green eyes.
Her gaze widened with recognition. “Noah. It’s
you.”
His heart crashed against his chest. His world
tilted.
“Caitlin.” His arm reached forward, as if touching
her would assure him this —she—was real. That of all the vet clinics in
Montana, she’d walked into this one. “I can’t believe it.”
“Me, either.” She gave her head a shake, then
lifted the blanket toward him. “I found a kitten in the snow. Something’s wrong
with him. Or her. I don’t know which. Can you help?”
Noah remembered where he was, what he was. He took
the bundle, ignoring the million questions racing through his mind. Talking
could wait.
