A Cowboy Christmas is Mary Connealy’s latest cowboy romance. (I feel compelled to note this, because she also writes cozy mysteries, and I wouldn’t want you to get mixed up!)
From her website:
A beautiful songstress on the run.
A distrustful cowboy who can’t abandon a woman in need.
An evil man obsessed with controlling that stunning voice.
The brutal cold of the Rockies in winter.
A suspicious family risking everything to protect a singer with secrets.
One perfect chance for a star to lead two lonely people to true love.
Cowboy Christmas.
Pattie’s Review:
I enjoyed this book, although I’m curious about why Mary Connealy seems to get such joy and pleasure in torturing her heroines! Seriously, folks…I’ve met her, she seems very nice and fun. Why does she torture these poor women so!
I’ll tell you why: because it’s fun! Oh, not so fun in the torturing, but it makes it fun to read, and keeps the reader turning pages. It’s also fun to see how she weaves profound spiritual truths into the narrative.
If you like western romance with a twist of fun and a good dose of spiritual insight, this is the book–and author–for you!
I was privileged to meet author Mary Connealy this past summer. She and I had emailed before, since we are both members of ACFW. I had read and reviewed some of her earlier novels, and was thrilled to meet her in person. She wrote about that meeting here, and you can even see pictures if you’re so inclined (and if you want my side of the story, go here). One thing I love about her is her obvious enthusiasm for life and people. Another thing that struck me as different is that she wanted to ask me about my writing, such as it is. She was so encouraging to me! I appreciated that; it’s a highlight of 2009 for me in terms of writing.
Anyway, I love Mary for her friendliness and her heart for sharing a good story. I love even more that she mailed me two autographed copies of her novel Montana Rose for me to gift the two new chaplain’s wives at our base this past autumn! This woman, my friends, loves our military. She also sent me a copy of Cowboy Christmas to give one away here at Wives of Faith!
