Longing for a Cowboy Christmas – My Book Review

Authors Leigh Greenwood, Roasanne Bittner, Linda Broday, Margaret Brownley, Anna Schmidt, and Amy Sandas stories are all tied radiantly to old-time Christmases in this collection called Longing for a Cowboy Christmas.

This is an eclectic collection of Christmas stories that makes you long for a simpler time – a simpler time when getting married was as easy as walking down the street to a church. A simpler time when falling in love came at you so quickly it took your breath away. A simpler time when the acts of kindness were a community effort and decorations were homemade.

Each story in this collection stands on its own and each story is centered around Christmas in the most romantic ways. Reading a collection like this gives you the opportunity to discover new authors and their writing styles. From Greenwood to Bittner to Broday to Brownley to Schmidt to Sandas all their writing is solid, clean, and crisp and reflects the early tones and dialects of the historical eras they write about.

Of course, the one story that stood out the most to me being a dog lover was A Love Letter to Santa. I was crying at the end. Margaret Brownley really knew how to write a story that tugged at my heart. And what made it more endearing is how her story was inspired. Just when you think her story is going to be about a donkey it turns quickly to be about Winston/Cupid.

If you love the old-time magic of Christmas with romance then this collection is an essential read. You’ll not be disappointed. Who knows you might even be inspired.
