A Cowboy Under My Christmas Tree (2012)

This was cute, but about 100-150 pages in all of a sudden either the writing went downhill fast or I suddenly gained an awareness of how mediocre it was.

Not hot and steamy in the least, it's a wonderfully romantic book that kept me tuned in until the last page. Sadly this meant staying up until 1:30 in the morning on a work night.
