Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 297 - Lone Star Christmas by Delores Fossen, Rocky Mountain Cowboy Christmas by Katie Ruggle

Lone Star ChristmasLone Star Christmas by Delores Fossen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lone Star Christmas is the start of a new series by Fossen and this first book does not follow the pattern she used in previous books. There were no babies or pregnant women and while there were lawmen they were not the central male characters. I liked the change. Using characters who were in the foster care system or who had been in the system highlighted both the good and the bad. Callen Laramie is a product of the bad and then the good. His struggle is to remember the good. Shelby McCall has always had a thing for Callen. Watching the two interact was at the heart of the story. This had romance, great characters, secrets, and dealing with the past. All in all a great start to the series.

I received a free copy of the book in return for an honest review.


Rocky Mountain Cowboy Christmas (Rocky Mountain Cowboys #1)Rocky Mountain Cowboy Christmas by Katie Ruggle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A new series from Ruggle and it is off to a great start. I loved Camille Brandt and how she came out of her shell around Steve Springfield's children. It was great to see a character who had problems facing a lot of people and to watch her work out how and when she would be comfortable. It did not hurt that Steve had been her secret crush in high school and that he did not mind her quirky behavior. This was a great book about being different but still being able to be yourself around friends and family.
