New Releases
To kick off the second annual Cowboys and Christmas Blog Tour and the JCCF campaign,
two brand new holiday romances will release Nov. 12!
Capturing Christmas is the third installment in the sweet holiday western Rodeo Romance series.
Life is hectic on a good day for rodeo stock contractor Kash Kressley. Between dodging flying hooves and babying cranky bulls, he barely has time to sleep. The last thing Kash needs is the entanglement of a sweet romance, especially with a woman as full of fire and sass as the redheaded photographer he rescues at a rodeo.
Determined to capture the best images possible, rodeo photographer Celia McGraw is fearless and feisty. Not one to back down from a challenge, her biggest risk isn’t in her work. Danger lurks in the way her heart responds to one incredibly handsome stock contractor. Will Kash and Celia capture the spirit of the season?

“Someone like you should be smart
enough to know better than to do something that stupid, Miss McGraw.” The man
frowned at her as he held her across his lap, riding over to the fence, out of
the way of the horses and the men on horseback behind them.
Too stunned to reply, Celia
gulped and continued staring at him, gradually comprehending she hadn’t been
killed.
At least she assumed she hadn’t
died, unless angels wore dusty cowboy hats, dark blue chaps, and were breath-stealing
handsome.
Those engaging eyes bore into hers,
making her heart skitter in her chest while an entire bushel of butterflies
burst into flight in her stomach.
She observed her rescuer. He sat
tall in the saddle and had muscles to spare, or so she presumed from the way he
easily hoisted her off the ground and onto his horse. A hint of light brown
hair peeked out from beneath the brim of his hat. The pale blue shirt he wore
almost matched the fascinating shade of his eyes.
Celia experienced the most
unreasonable urge to run her fingers along the stubbly expanse of his cheeks,
down his square jaw, and over his strong chin. Mesmerized by his full bottom
lip, she inhaled a deep breath and nearly choked.
The very scent of him hinted at a
lethal combination of freshly fallen snow, a warm winter fire, and sweet
seduction rolled into one incredibly enticing package.

The Christmas Vow is the fourth book in the Hardman Holidays sweet Victorian romance series.
Columbia River Pilot Adam Guthry returns to his hometown of Hardman, Oregon, after the sudden death of his best friend. Emotions he can’t contain bubble to the surface the moment he sees the girl who shattered his heart eleven years ago.
Widow Tia Devereux escapes her restrictive life in Portland, returning to the home she knew and adored as a girl in Hardman. She and her four-year-old son, Toby, settle into the small Eastern Oregon community, eager for the holiday season. Unfortunately, the only man she’s ever loved shows up, stirring the embers of a long-dead romance into a blazing flame. When her former father-in-law, a corrupt judge, decides he wants to raise Toby, Adam may be the only hope she has of keeping her son.

No. Her fear was for the big,
loveable lunk who’d scared her half witless when she saw him tumble off the
roof.
“I believe that’s exactly the
point.” Adam’s lopsided grin revealed his dimples and made her mouth water for
want of his kiss.
Aggravated with herself, Tia
aimed her fury at Adam. “The point is your recklessness might get you or
someone else horribly injured.” She turned around and strode toward the kitchen
door. “I insist you…”
A snowball caught her square in
the back. Mouth hanging open in surprise, she spun around and glared at him.
Adam worked to form another
snowball, ignoring her scowl.
Incensed, Tia surrendered to the
need to stamp her foot. “How dare you!”
“Just like this.” He grinned and
lobbed another snowball at her, catching her on the shoulder. Bits of snow
sprayed into her face and hair.
“Oh! You are in for it now, Adam
Guthry!” Tia bent down and hastily formed a snowball. With unmistakable precision,
she threw it at Adam, hitting him on the chin.
He spluttered and returned fire,
barely grazing her arm as she twisted away at the last second.
Peals of her laughter filled the
quiet December afternoon and drew Toby outside as she and Adam continued to
throw snow at each other.
“Mama?” The little boy’s lip
quivered. “Did you send me inside so you could play without me?”

My review;
I have never read a book by author Shanna Hatfield that I did not love from beginning to end. Her characters are very real and their stories about family and love are very heartwarming. When I started to read the Rodeo and Romance series I was unable to stop. I feel in love with each of the cowboys in her books.
Christmas Cowboy is the story of Kate Beckett a woman who has decided that she will never trust any kind of cowboy again. But that was before she passed Tate Morgan's path one day. He is trying to convince her to trust him, that he is not like the others and he will not hurt her. This is a really nice romantic love story. Will she ever be able to trust him? I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book for a review and these are my opinions.
Wrestling Christmas is another book in this series. I have to tell other readers that once they read one of author Shanna Hatfield's stories you will have to run out and get them all . Cort McGraw is a steer fighter who cannot accept that he has been injured and cannot ride anymore. His best friend and his sister have tricked him and brought him to a mess of a ranch where a young boy lives with his mother. The young mother has decided not to ever have anything to do with any man. She wants to send him back home but her son wants him to stay. What will she do now around this handsome stranger? I give this book a 5/5. I was give this book for a review and these are all my opinions.
Capturing Christmas is the 3rd book in this series. Kash Kressley is a rodeo stock contractor. Kash works hard and he has no time for a woman. But, when he meets Celia McGraw when she puts herself in danger he cannot help but notice and help her. Celia is a photographer who takes pictures of rodeas and their stars. From the moment they look at each other they start to feel something towards each other. The problem is are they both too stubborn or just not interested to see that they might really like each other? Will Christmas help them along? I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book for a review and these are all my opinions.
