New York Times bestselling author Donna
Grant returns to Texas, where a small-town legend just might find the greatest
gift of all. . .
’Tis the season for ex-Navy SEAL Clayton East to come home for the
holidays—even if the mood at home is anything but festive. His father is ill.
The East Ranch is in financial trouble. And now it’s on Clayton, the prodigal
son, to make sure his family doesn’t lose everything.
Headstrong Abby Harper is like a mother to her younger brothers, who she’s
helped raise since she was a teenager. Keeping them in line is no small task
while she’s also working toward her college degree. And now that one of her
brothers has been arrested for stealing cattle at the East Ranch, Abby is at
her wits’ end. But there is a silver lining: Clayton East. He believes in
second chances, and is willing to give one to her brother this Christmas.
Letting beautiful Abby—and the inescapable longing in his heart—off the hook,
however, is a whole ’nother story. Could it be that the woman of this local hero’s
dreams has been back at home all along?

I'm super excited to be reading The Christmas Cowboy Hero by Donna Grant, I will have to say I was enchanted by the synopsis, and it stuck with me, until I managed to get my greedy little hands on it! And it didn't disappoint.
Retired Navy SEAL Clayton East had to come home, not out of choice, but to save his parents ranch, after his father had a mini stroke, their CPA had embezzled money, and if that wasn't stressful enough, someone had stolen his cattle!!!
Abby Harper had taken on a lot in her young life, she was the legal guardian to her two young brothers, Brice and Caleb, after her mother had abandoned them, raising them, keeping a roof over their heads, was sometimes all she could handle. But when she got a call from the sheriff's office, Abby felt like her world was falling about her, especially when she has to deal with Clayton East! The man who's cattle her brother stole.
I'm am not going to go any further with that, as I don't want to give away the story. But I will say that The Christmas Cowboy Hero was even better than I imagined, and I will be following this series from now on.
I loved all the character's in this book, Clayton's uncertainty, Abby's determination, but Brice and Caleb stole my heart! I'm hoping Shane gets his own story, he is defiantly someone who deserves it.
The Christmas Cowboy Hero is a well written Christmas romance, than you will read again and again, despite the time of year! And in my humble opinion, it's definitely Hallmark Christmas movie worthy!!
I give The Christmas Cowboy Hero 5 stars!
