The most wonderful time of the year has arrived for this cowboy in New York Times bestseller Donna Grant's newest novel, Home for a Cowboy Christmas. Tis the season—for everyone except Emmy Garrett. She’s on the run after witnessing a crime. But when it becomes clear that trouble will continue following her, the US Marshal in charge takes her somewhere no one will think to look–Montana. Not only is Emmy in a new place for her protection, but now, she’s stuck with a handsome cowboy as her bodyguard…and she wants to do more than kiss him under the mistletoe. Dwight Reynolds left behind his old career, but it’s still in his blood. When an old friend calls in a favor, Dwight opens his home to a woman on the run. He tries to keep his distance, but there’s something about Emmy he can’t resist. She stokes his passion and turns his cold nights into warm ones. When danger shows up looking for Emmy, Dwight risks everything to keep her safe.

In ‘Home for a Cowboy Christmas’ we meet Emmy Garrett. Emmy has been on the run since she witnessed a murder. Now things get even more dangerous, and the Marshal in charge decides to hide Emmy away on the Range of an old friend. Dwight Reynolds has been living his life, taking care of his family Range after a career in the army, FBI and home security. When an old friend comes by needing a space for Emmy to hide away, he immediately agrees. From the moment Dwight sees Emmy, he wants to take care of her and promises to do anything in his power to keep her safe.

‘Home for a Cowboy Christmas’ was a fun read that I definitely enjoyed. The two main characters Emmy and Dwight are very likable, and their romance was really sweet. I loved how Dwight wanted to take care of Emmy, and how charming he was. He definitely was one of the good guys. Emmy was also fun, but I don’t feel like we got to know her all that well.

There was also a bit of suspense in this book, but it wasn’t all that much considering we start this book right in the middle of Emmy’s big escape to the range. I thought it would be a bit more to be honest.

Although ‘Home for a Cowboy Christmas’ was a fun book I enjoyed reading, it wasn’t as great as I hoped. The romance was definitely a bit instant, especially from Emmy’s side and I missed the chemistry. It was also a bit predictable, but not in a bad way. Overall, a fun romantic Christmas read.
