Cover Description:

They’ve weathered a lot worse than winter. For widow June Harper, another cold front is about to hit. Most call him Hugh. She’d call him Scrooge, except as the man ensures her needs are met, June can’t help but wonder how to meet the needs of his heart.

Netty Lewis can take care of herself, has for a while now. Some hired help over the holidays doesn’t change that. And even if Roy does take care of her, that doesn’t mean he cares for her or that he’ll stay past Christmas.

Pastor Colton McCabe is having the opposite problem. He’s not sure he’ll make it through the holidays with his new housekeeper. Grace can’t seem to do anything right but love. Perhaps being a homekeeper will earn her a permanent residence in his heart.

And no one longs for a home more than Connie Lancaster. She’s determined to return to St. Louis, and no cowboy can change her mind. But if Isaac can change her heart, maybe Connie will see the homecoming she’s been waiting for isn’t to a place but a person.

Stories in this novella collection include:  Last Chance Christmas by Julie Lessman, A Cowboy for Christmas by Ruth Logan Herne, Longhorn Christmas by Mary Connely, Connie’s Christmas Prayer by Anna Schmidt.

Read on for my thoughts on Cowboy Christmas Homecoming.  no true spoilers, promise.

Life in the American West during the late 1800’s was far from easy or without danger.  Cowboy Christmas Homecoming gives us a taste of life in my country’s history.  A time when bravery took on a different meaning for the men and women forging a new life for themselves and their families.

This collection contains four non-connecting novellas set in a time when life was quite different, but love is never changing.  These men and women never expected to find their true love – but never discount the magic of the Christmas season.

I enjoyed all of the novellas in this collection.  Of course, some more than others yet each brought a touch of history and love.  Because of the length of these stories, the cover description gives you enough of a taste of each to tempt your reading heart… to say much more would be giving away spoilers.

Cowboy Christmas Homecoming is full of clean, sweet stories full of faith and love… and perhaps adventure as well.  No matter what type of Historical Romance you prefer, I believe the stories in this collection will warm your heart and deliver a touch of Christmas Magic.. Old West style.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review. That does not change what I think of this novel.*
