From bestselling and award-winning authors, experience Christmas on the rugged western frontier with three novellas filled with unforgettable adventures, enduring romance, and the timeless message of hope found in the Savior’s birth.
Claiming the Cowgirl by Jody Hedlund
Claiming the Cowgirl by Jody Hedlund
Serena Taylor is hiding in Colorado’s high country to keep her son safe, and she knows the best way to protect him is by marrying again and giving him a father. Weston Oakley needs a wife by Christmas to placate his meddling family, but after being spurned one too many times in love, he’s reluctant to give his heart away again. When they agree on a marriage of convenience, both of them get much more than they bargained for.
Doctor's Snowflake Bride by Lacy Williams
Minnie steps off the train ready to become a mail-order bride, but she finds the well-dressed man waiting for her isn't her intended husband. The protective oath Jed took when he became a doctor doesn't cover stranded women, but he can't leave the beautiful stranger alone in a building blizzard two days before Christmas. When circumstances force them into close proximity, Jed and Minnie find that their growing feelings aren't convenient at all.
Marrying the Mountain Man’s Best Friend by Misty M. Beller
Two Stones, a Salish warrior accustomed to navigating between tribes and miners, unexpectedly finds himself summoned to the side of a dying friend in Virginia City. Sworn to honor the miner’s last wish, Two Stones agrees to marry his daughter, Heidi, but plans to take her to live with his parents. He’ll provide all her needs, make sure she’s safe, and visit her on occasion when his path leads him that direction. As they set out on the journey, their path is fraught with challenges that defy Two Stones' plans and reveal a surprising depth to Heidi's character. As they near the end of their trail and join the Christmas festivities at the Coulter Ranch, Two Stones begins to realize this inconvenient marriage might really be a Christmas gift he’ll always treasure.
MY THOUGHTS.....
Three talented authors have joined together to share three special stories and the result is a delightful anthology. Each novella in Christmas Bells and Wedding Vows is different but they all feature a marriage of convenience, a Western setting, and the universal need for faith, trust, and love. I enjoyed all of them but I was especially drawn to Claiming the Cowgirl by Jody Hedlund. I was captivated by the four books in her recent Colorado Cowgirls series but I did have one regret. I felt that one of the characters in the fourth book needed to find someone who would love and appreciate him, and now, Weston Oakley gets that chance! I loved the special connection that develops between Weston, Sabrina Taylor, and her adorable two-year-old boy. Protecting her son from her former father-in-law becomes a challenge but is marriage the only way to stop him?
Hedlund gives readers a novella filled with swoon-worthy kisses, undeniable chemistry, and the sweet promise that a marriage of convenience might really work! Throw in the mention of Christmas and the results are pure reading enjoyment!
If you're a fan of Jody Hedlund, Lacy Williams, or Misty Beller, do yourself a favor and grab a copy of Christmas Bells and Wedding Vows. It's a perfect choice for anyone who enjoys historical Western romance!
