Christmas with My Cowboy – three stories in one book! by Diana Palmer, Lindsay McKenna (Goodreads Author), Margaret Way 5 Stars!

Christmas with My Cowboy – three stories in one book!
by Diana PalmerLindsay McKenna (Goodreads Author), Margaret Way
The Snowman – I really enjoyed this book. It went by quickly and I was disappointed when it was done. I love Diana Palmers books.   The books were read pretty quickly.  They move right along.  It’s a little early for me for Christmas, but I tried to get in the mood as I was to read three books about Christmas with this one.  Three authors in one.  First was Diana Palmer.
“Kassie’s Cowboy” , second was the story by Lindsay McKenna.  Kassie is driving when she hit’s black ice and puts her car into the snowy ditch.  Right in front of the home of former Marine Travis Grant her childhood sweetheart.  He runs down when he sees the accident to rescue whomever was in the car.  Imagine his surprise when he finds Kassie there, who was his childhood sweetheart.  He carries her inside and patches her up.  The roads are impassable and she slowly starts learning about how he is now that he’s gotten out of the Marines and why he lives so far out of town.  He has PTSD and doesn’t want to be around people.  He doesn’t want any women in his life, they might get hurt.  The book was good it moved along pretty well, I have to say I didn’t like it quite as well as I liked the first story by Diana Palmer. 
“Her Outback Husband” the third story by Margaret Way.  Not my normal read but I have to say I enjoyed the story.  Scott and Darcey MacArthur were divorced.  When she had to go into the hospital she found out through her Aunt that her best friend Becky had a one-night stand with her husband.  She couldn’t live with that she believed her Aunt, although her husband kept telling her that he did no such thing.  She and her Aunt weren’t really close, but she tried to keep in touch as her Mother had passed away.  Several years later Scott’s Mother invites Darcey home for the annual polo match and ball afterward for the Christmas holidays in the Outback on the huge ranch owned by the MacArthurs.  Darcey decides to attend, much to Scott’s dismay, as she wants to be able to see her ex-Mother In-Law.  Darcey and Scott are going to find that the lady had a plan and they are going to well….I can’t tell you or it would ruin the story.
The three books were really enjoyable, it was nice to go from one story to the next, I didn’t have to hunt around for something else to read, I just flowed from one story to the next and they all had the Christmas theme running through them.

I received this book through NetGalley.com as a kindle format in exchange for an honest review.  This is that review.
