Merry Christmas Cowboy by Maisey Yates

 

💖💖💖💖💖

Merry Christmas Cowboy by Maisey Yates, book two in her Four Corners series, is a deeply moving, beautifully written and heart-wrenching, story of the complicated lives of Wolf and Violet two people still dealing with being abandoned by their mothers. Wolf Garrett is in a rut and decides he needs a change in scenery. When his cousins in Copper Ridge call, asking for help with an expansion to their ranch, he volunteers to go. He will be staying at an Inn owned by his cousin’s wife Sadie, where he encounters Violet Donnelly, the innkeeper. Little does he know how much she is going to mean to his life, but recognizes the instant attraction and spark of chemistry they have for one another could burn the inn down. Aware that Violet is an innocent and not his usual type, is not going to stop him; all he knows is he wants her. Violet splits her time between being an innkeeper and baking for her Stepmother’s bakery; trying to be the perfect daughter. Violet knew from the moment she saw Wolf that he was trouble and that she did not have the experience to handle his kind of trouble; but she wanted it just the same. While tempting him with her cooking and sweet ways, she knows she is fighting a losing battle; especially becoming pregnant as a result of their shared nights of passion. Wounded by the loss of his teenage sweetheart, Wolf commits to providing for Violet and their unborn child but cannot bear the thought of risking his heart again. Violet wants their family to mean more to Wolf than just a duty and is determined to show Wolf that love has not passed him by.


There is a bonus novella at the end, Her Cowboy Prince Charming, a Cinderella retelling, with Jessie Granger attending a masked ball but the prince is her brother’s best friend, Damien Prince, the guy she has crushed on for years. This story had me smiling from start to finish and fanning myself at times as well.

 

Ms. Yates wrote a wonderful, intense, emotional, steamy story, remindful of how the past shapes the present and the future, and should not be missed. She provided a tale rich with soul-searching, angst, sizzling chemistry, and an amazing cast of previous and new characters. This powerful and emotional story will have you turning each page wanting to find out if Violet and Wolf’s journey to love is smooth or rocky and if the hurts from their pasts can create a strong relationship leading them to love and their happiness. I highly recommend Merry Christmas Cowboy to other readers.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
