Dwight Reynolds is former FBI and Homeland Security. He
now runs the family ranch in Montana. Dwight agrees to hide a woman in the
witness protection program for his friend. Something about Emmy draws him, yet
he tries not to act on his growing attraction. However, the people searching
for Emmy show up. Will Dwight’s military skills be enough to protect Emmy? Can
he convince her to stay in Montana once the danger passes?
Emmy Garrett works for a large bookkeeping firm in
Denver, Colorado. She is testifying against the city’s greatest mob bosses.
When her location is compromised again, Emmy finds herself in Montana. Dwight
and his dog, Sam, make her feel safe for the first time. However, Emmy cannot
help but worry about endangering them with her problem. Can Emmy manage to
survive until the trial? Or will she become another casualty?
Dwight is a man who feels the need to protect those
around him. It is an ingrained trait. I admire Dwight’s honorable behavior. He
refuses to take advantage of Emmy during a difficult time. Dwight knows she is
not in a good mental or emotional place to welcome a relationship. What I adore
the most about Dwight is his willingness to help Emmy deal with her PTSD. Since
he is a recipient of the same problem, Dwight knows the signs and symptoms, so
he knows the best ways to overcome it.
Emmy is such a courageous woman. She has been through
such a harrowing experience that many people would have buckled beneath. I
admire Emmy’s integrity. It took incredible bravado to testify against a mob
boss. Emmy knew that it would endanger her life, but she could not let a
criminal go unpunished. What I like about Emmy is how her traumatic experience
allowed her to discover things about herself. She let many opportunities pass
because of her fear and uncertainty.
HOME FOR A COWBOY CHRISTMAS is a standalone,
holiday-themed novel from Donna Grant. I am not really a fan of holiday
stories; however, I do make exceptions for certain authors. I like how the
story encompasses both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanksgiving is a holiday
not commonly found in books. However, the two holidays are not the main focus
of the plot.
HOME FOR A COWBOY CHRISTMAS is a wholesome and
warm-hearted tale with the right amount of suspense. Dwight and Emmy’s romance
is more of a slow-burn than instant attraction, which made it easy to enjoy.
