Once Upon a Cowboy Christmas
It’s the most wonderful time of the year at the Ford family ranch. Will one cowboy’s homecoming be the greatest gift of all?
He left town and never looked back.
Cody Ford is a Wall Street honcho with humble Texas roots. This holiday season, he’d be content to just stay in New York and not face his family―and dodge their questions about when and with whom he plans to settle down. . .and if he will do so back at home. But his father isn’t getting any younger, and Cody doesn’t want to miss any last chances to see him and the rest of the folks back on the ranch. The last person Cody was expecting to see? His one-time girlfriend, Lexi Murphy, who’s been working as his dad’s new live-in nurse.

She never forgot him. Can she ever forgive him?
Lexi still holds a grudge against Cody. Back then, the college-bound heartthrob believed he was too good for a small-town girl like Lexi. But now Cody can’t help but see her in a whole new light. Could it be that this beautiful single mother with an unbeatable can-do spirit is the one he’s been waiting for all along? That depends on whether Cody can prove to Lexi that, this time, he means business―and if a sudden snowstorm can lend just the right amount of Christmas magic to help move things along. . .

My Review
This is the first book I have read in this series. After finishing this book, I will be going back and reading the prior novels. My one weakness when it comes to romance novels are "cowboys". I mean you had George Straight, Luke Perry, Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris, John Wayne, Tom Selleck, Robert Duvall, etc. all portray cowboys.
Not only was I a fan of Cody and Lexi but the rest of the characters in this book were not just inserted into the story as "third strings". No, they were just as much main characters who just made the story that much better. Example is Mia; Cody's sister. She did not give Cody any slack. Also when it comes to cute kids, Harry was no exception. He won my heart.
The chemistry between Cody and Lexi was hot. Just the way I like it in my romance novel. Of course there is a happy ending. Which I approve of very much. Once Upon a Cowboy Christmas is the perfect stocking stuffer.
