Diana Palmer brings us the story of Ty and Sara in "The Perfect Gift." Their lives in the country right outside Raven Springs, Colorado are about to change with a chance meeting when he comes across her truck on the side of the road leading to his property. When she gets the chance to go to a show in Denver, it's Ty who becomes her savior and takes her there knowing that her truck would never make it there. When they run into each other again and finds out that she has been invited to another party in Denver, he makes sure that he is the one taking her. Does this mean that it can lead to more, or should she heed his warning about not wanting to get too serious? Only time and perhaps some courage will tell.

Heather Graham brings us the story of Wyatt and Jessy in "Christmas, Crime, and a Cowboy." When city girl Jessy inherits her grandfather's ranch in Colorado, she must make a decision whether to call it home or return to the excitement the city offers her. Conflicting thoughts start creeping in as she spends more time with her grandfather's neighbor Wyatt. And when robberies start escalating around the area and end up at her front door, she is thankful that he was close by. Will being in his company be enough to change her mind and stay, or will the allure of the city be too strong?

These two authors brings us stories centered around the sexy cowboy. Ty and Wyatt are prime examples of what you could imagine one to be. Will Sara and Jessy be strong enough to let them in and will they all be brave enough to take a chance on each other?

I have received and read an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I would like to thank NetGalley and Kensington Publishing | Zebra for this privilege.

In my cowboy era and wow oh wow this book was sweet and spicy all mixed in one! Absolutely fabulous story. Loved the sweet Christmas time setting

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this book, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I ended up finishing the book in just a few sittings and really enjoyed the story and characters.

This book actually contains two Christmas novellas, each equally good.

In The Perfect Gift, even though the book centers around Ty and Sara, I think Ed and the wuppie stole the book and who wouldn't love having a Mrs Grimes in their lives?

In Christmas, Crime, and A Cowboy, This book centers around Wyatt and Jessy, with a little bit of intrigue thrown in. They grew up together and were next door neighbors, but Jessy moved away and now is back due to collecting an inheritance.

I recommend picking this book up if you're looking for quick, but good, Christmas reads.

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

I really enjoyed this book. Both stories were romantic. The second story by Heather Graham had some small suspense to it. I love reading Christmas books all year because they can be uplifting. I'm grateful that netgalley and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review.

Diana Palmer is a guilty pleasure. I’ve read so many of them, and even if they are a little predictable, that is part of the enjoyment. It is just a cosy read when I want something that I know is going to have a happy ending and I can just enjoy it without stressing over characters too much. That isn’t a complaint or a criticism, she is a comfort read for that very reason, and I wouldn’t change it at all. Heather Graham, I haven’t read as many - I think a lot of them have been in anthologies with Diana Palmer, but she is also just as enjoyable.

The two stories in this book are really enjoyable, both with a Christmas theme (Christmas *and* cowboys, it’s just getting all the guilty pleasures in one hit). I really enjoyed the intrigue with the second story (Heather Graham’s one) - but I’m glad that they could get everything sorted out and have the happy ending in time for Christmas.

I absolutely love both Diana Palmer and Heather Graham. These short stories grip you from the beginning and doesn't let go until the end. Great reads.

The writing is warm, humorous, and filled with vivid descriptions that make the snowy Colorado setting leap off the page. Whether it's cozy nights by the fire, tense standoffs with thieves, or heart-melting moments with a child or a dog, every scene is crafted to tug at your heartstrings.

Must Love Christmas Cowboys is a cozy, emotional, and deeply satisfying holiday read that proves family isn’t always born it’s found in the most unexpected places, often under a Christmas tree or in the arms of a cowboy. A perfect seasonal escape for fans of heartfelt love stories with a touch of grit and a whole lot of heart.
