Christmas with My Cowboy is a collection of stories by 3 wonderful writers. This is the kind of book that you just want to curl up in a chair and not get up till its finished. All three stories are so sweet and romantic, but my favorite was The Snow Man by Diana Palmer. This is the story of Gary and Meadow. Meadow has know Gary for years and she has had an incredible crush on him, but Gary has always treated her like a pest and her attempts at flirting have only led to his contempt and anger, but Meadow is now all grown up and she comes back to her fathers ranch to take over now that her father is dead and this leads to many encounters between Gary and Meadow, many of this meeting are as a result of their prospective pets being in love with Gary and Meadow. Their are some funny and sweet moments as well as some heartbreaking moments, but the love and chemistry between both Gary and Meadow keeps you cheering for them and what a sweet ending it was!
