Originally appeared in the e-book anthology All I Want for Christmas Is a Cowboy.
Jennifer Ryan, author of the New York Times
bestselling The Hunted Series and the upcoming Montana Men Series,
takes us to the very beginning in this Christmas prequel about two
people who finally receive the one thing they've always wanted … each
other.
Though she is the woman of his dreams, Caleb Bowden knows
his best friend's sister, Summer Turner, is off-limits. He won't cross
that line. Summer shares a connection with Caleb she's never felt with
anyone else, but the stubborn man refuses to turn their flirtatious
friendship into something more. Summer will have to take matters into
her own hands if she wants her cowboy for Christmas.
It starts at the Christmas lighting
ceremony. Caleb is fighting his love for Summer and Summer is fighting for
Caleb. After losing her temper at her brother Jack, Summer goes and hangs out
in the town bar with her friend and her ex high school boyfriend, leaving Jack
and Caleb standing on the sidewalk. Jack is confused about his sister’s
behavior and Caleb is left feeler with regrets and confusion and the
determination of not ruining his friendship with Jack, even if it costs him the
women he loves. I’m going to leave the story there, with you wanting more 😉
As with everyone of Jennifer’s books,
this story is beautifully written and it leaves you wanting more, or in my case
spending this past weekend re-reading the whole series 😊 I absolutely
LOVED this novella so I am going to give Can’t Wait a very well deserved 10 out
of 10
