I have read other books by this author, and I appreciate how she allows the romance to develop. I also liked the developing relationship between the heroine and the hero's children. The children had wonderful personalities, and I liked the family dynamic. I would read more books featuring the extended family.

Are you ready for a Christmas romance? In Rocky Mountain Cowboy Christmas, single dad Steve Springfield rediscovers artist Camille Brandt. After losing his wife, Steve, a single dad of four delightful children moves back to his family ranch. Steve is a volunteer firefighter that saves the day when Camille’s house burns to the ground. The town thinks Camille is a weird hermit. However, Camille is a quirky artist that works with junk metal and creates beautiful masterpieces. She enjoys solitude and is very shy. She sells some of her art at Steve’s family ranch which sells Christmas trees and decorations. Steve and Camille find themselves drawn to each other.
This book is filled with “giggle humor”. I didn’t quite laugh out loud, but I did giggle quite a lot at the antics of the characters. Katie Ruggle developed unique characters I wanted to be friends with and get to know. Steve’s kids are amazingly creative and funny. There are a few twists in the book I didn’t see coming, but I would categorize this book as a romance not a suspense. The book has very loose ties with Katie Ruggle’s series Rocky Mountain K-9 series, so you might recognize some references if you have read that series.

I enjoyed this easy read and hope you will too!
