Publisher Description
"This goes down like a cup of hot cocoa--warm and sweet." -- Entertainment Weekly
A heartwarming holiday read from USA Today bestselling author Carolyn Brown
Nash Lamont is a man about as solitary as they come. That's exactly why ranch life in middle-of-nowhere Happy, Texas suits him. So what the heck is he doing letting a beautiful widow and her three rambunctious children temporarily move in? Before he knows it, they're stringing Christmas lights and decorating the tree... and he's having the time of his life. But after everything he's been through, Nash knows this kind of happiness doesn't last.
Kasey Dawson thought she'd never get over the death of her husband. Nash, with his strong hands and infinite patience, is stirring something she hasn't felt in a long time. Kasey knows the sexy cowboy isn't telling her everything about this past, though. And she refuses to risk heartbreak all over again. But her kids have a plan of their own: Nothing will keep them from having a real family again-even if it takes a little help from Santa himself.
"Genuinely sweet." --Publishers Weekly
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After Army Capt. Nash Lamont falls while rescuing a kitten and suffers concussion-induced amnesia, he believes that Kasey McKay, his new neighbor from the ranch next door, is his wife. Because he has post-traumatic stress disorder, his doctors suggest maintaining the fiction will aid in his recovery, so Kasey agrees to stay with him until he can safely drive. She and her three adorable children move in, and nature slowly takes its course. Nash's PTSD is aggravated by the guilt he feels for the death of a man under his command. Naturally, Kasey's husband was his fallen comrade, something easily discerned before chapter two and a signal that, by genre convention, Nash will not reveal his secret until doing so causes maximum damage. Brown's sequel to Toughest Cowboy in Texas may not be novel, but the narrative is genuinely sweet and filled with the joy of Christmas as a good man learns to live in the aftermath of war and a loving woman realizes she can move on from two long years of grief.
Customer Reviews
Santa delivers
Carolyn Brown’s latest Happy, Texas, novel, Long, Tall, Cowboy Christmas was just what the doctor ordered. Filled with heart and humor, it was easy to get lost in Nash and Kasey’s story. Brown deals with veterans issues with grace and understanding, and just a little bit of Texas sass. The kids truly make the story. Through them, Nash and Kasey get the HEA they both so richly deserve.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.
