Mistletoe, holly, and cowboys, oh my! Christmas in Texas has never been sweeter.

Years ago, Chase Morgan traded in his dusty cowboy boots for the shimmering lights of New York City and a fast track up the corporate ladder. But when his shiny life is turned on end just in time for Christmas, Chase knows he needs to reevaluate even if that means going home to Texas to endure his least favorite holiday.

When Mr. Tall, Dark, and Smoking Hot walks through her door at the Magic Box Guest Ranch, Faith Walker sees just another handsome, rich exec looking to play cowboy for a week-at her expense. She’s sure the grumpy, but sexy as hell Scrooge will put a crimp in her holly jolly plans. Until a sizzling kiss has her seeing him in a new light.

Chase is haunted by secrets, and even though it goes entirely against her “hands off the guests” rule Faith is tempted to help him leave the past behind. As the magic of the season swirls around them, she is determined to succeed because now she is certain one sweet, cowboy Christmas will never be enough

12 DAYS OF SWEET BLOG TOUR—Candis Terry

DAY 2:

Charlotte (Charli) Brooks Wilder (from Anything But Sweet)

Getting Reno Wilder to see things my way was the challenge of the century. He was stubborn (and hot). Wounded (and hot). And an over thinker (but very hot). In the end it took persistence and maybe forgetting a certain piece of undergarment under my dress to turn his head. He’s a great cook (aside from heating things up in the bedroom), but here’s a little something I like to make for breakfast in bed. It might seem like a lot of work, but I can guarantee you’ll be rewarded. Especially if you serve them to your special guy after you’ve forgotten to put on a certain undergarment. ;)

Pumpkin Roll Pancakes with Cinnamon Cream Syrup

Syrup Ingredients:

1/2 cup light Karo syrup

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Syrup Directions:

• In a medium size saucepan, heat sugar, Karo, and cream over medium heat and while stirring constantly bring to a boil- takes about 5-7 minutes.
• Once the mixture comes to a rolling boil stir for 2 minutes, remove from heat and add vanilla and cinnamon.
• Place in a microwave safe pitcher until ready to serve.

Filling Ingredients:

8 ounces Cream Cheese

1/2 stick butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup powdered sugar

Filling Directions:

• In a large bowl, blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
• Set aside until ready to use. Or made a day ahead and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Remove from refrigerator at least 30 minutes to soften up.

Pancake Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups milk

2 eggs

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 1/2 cups flour

3 tablespoons sugar

2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3 tablespoons melted butter

Pancake Directions:

• In a large bowl whisk together wet ingredients.
• In another bowl whisk together the dry ingredients.
• Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet until smooth then stir in the melted butter.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Rub with a little butter to prevent sticking.
• Using a 1/3 cup dry measuring cup, start pouring your pancakes, which should spread to about a five inch disk.
• When bubbles form and the edges are set then gently flip.
• Keep the pancakes warm until the entire batch is cooked. Will make 12 pancakes.

Assembly:

• Once all your pancakes are made, remove one at a time from warmer (heat a saucepan for one minute then remove from heat to a trivet on counter, cover with a tea towel then pan lid-works like a charm) and spread with 2 tablespoons of the filling.
• Spread the filling on the first side of the pancake, the side that hits the griddle first, and leave the lighter second side out. Prettier that way.
• As you make these, place them seam side down in a casserole dish and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Reheat the syrup in the microwave and serve hot with the pancakes.
• Serves 6-12.
