My Review:
looking for books I wanted to read during the HoHoHo Readathon, I came across
‘Rocky Mountain Cowboy Christmas’ and just knew I had to read it. So I bought
myself a copy and was super excited when I was finally able to start reading.
Mountain Cowboy Christmas’ we meet Steve Springfield. Steve has just moved back
to his hometown with his four kids. After his wife died years ago, he wanted to
give his kids a safe haven and found himself back at his families ranch. What
he didn’t expect was seeing Camille Brandt again. Camille is the town’s artist/
hermit. Camille lives a quiet life and tries to interact with as little people
as possible. When she comes face to face with Steve Springfield after haven’t
seen him for years she is frustrated to find herself in awe of him as much as
when she was a teen. But soon she just can’t stay away from him and his
adorable kids. But there is danger lurking..
good Cowboy story, and I love Christmas. So a Cowboy Christmas story is always
a good thing for me. And thankfully ‘Rocky Mountain Cowboy Christmas’ is
definitely a nice read if you ask me. From the very beginning I loved the two
main characters Steve and Camille. Camille is this awkward artist who doesn’t
really know how to interact with people. Which made her interactions with
others a lot of fun to read about. Especially when she talked with Steve. She
became all nervous and started rattling which is something I can definitely do
too.
this handsome but most of all kind guy and an incredible dad. I loved reading
how he was with his children. But what I loved most of all about this read was
the romance between Steve and Camille. It wasn’t perfect, it took some time and
they were both kind of shy which made it take them extra long to get to that
first kiss.. And I loved that about this book.
four kids of Steve? They were really fun to read about. They all had this
special thing about them. And they seemed way to smart for their age.. but I
just loved them. And reading about them made me laugh a lot.
this story took place around Christmas time, it wasn’t all about Christmas
which fitted the book and I enjoyed. It wasn’t this too perfect Christmas read,
but just Christmassy enough.
of this book wasn’t really what I expected and hoped for to be honest. I even
found it a little too ‘rushed’. Like this book only was allowed to be another
50 pages long and no more. And I didn’t get the whole part about the fires.
Especially when I found out who did it. But since the beginning and the romance
of this book where so good, I still think this was a great read.
