Young woman with a stressful job and experiencing some harassment decides to go to her family’s cabin in Wyoming over Christmas for some alone time. Misses the turn in a blizzard, crashes her car and is rescued by a handsome cowboy. Of course, they’re now stuck on his ranch for the foreseeable future as the roads are impassable. Oh, and she has amnesia.
You know where this is headed, don’t you?
Cass can’t cook (or, apparently, do much of anything else) but Eli finds her efforts to make pancakes, help with the chickens, decorate for Christmas, etc. adorable. Before long there’s a steamy kiss that leads to some heavy petting and eventually hot sex by the fire. And then the weather clears enough that they can go back to her wrecked car to retrieve her purse and phone and …. Well, you can probably guess what happens.
It's a predictable, fast holiday cowboy romance. And I did so like looking at the cover!

all i want for christmas is a cowboy is a predictable romance novel, with its flaws and strenghts, and i ended up liking it, which i didn't think it would happen for some reason. however, one of my main problems with this book is how repetitive it is. like i get it, the main character is beautiful and you can get lost in her blue eyes, you don't have to tell me over and over again. it also felt a bit fast-paced mainly because some things happened way too quickly but i understand that's how these novels work so i'm fine with that. overall, a cute christmas read. will i read the rest of the series? probably not, but you never know.

You might think I'd be embarrassed to love this one but, nope! No guilt here! This was the Christmas romance I needed. Some of the dialogue was cheesy but other than that I really enjoyed it! Now excuse me while I plan next Christmas in Wyoming to find me a cowboy....

Snowed in for Christmas, oh that makes for the perfect winter book!
Cass is an assistant (and oh my, she should quit, she can not see how much she is used, not to mention her boss' fiance keeps hitting on her, creep!) But she is a nice hardworking woman (that should take a chance). So she goes away for the holidays to be alone. Boom car accident, stuck int he mountains with a cowboy!
Eli was omg the sweetest. All he does is work work and no time for a woman. He is just too sweet and has let go of all of that. He might be a bit grumpy since he wanted alonetime too, but alas no.
They get to know each other. She is a complete mess at things. They start to fall in love and the snow keeps on piling up.
There will be drama as she starts to remember things, and there she does something so silly. I mean just talk with him woman! But I guess we need drama. Still, talk to him!
And then they lie happily ever after! Awwww.
Sweet and a great book this winter.

I liked her Cass voice, it showed sweetness and innocence. While I totally saw the grumpy Eli before me too. She did well with setting the scene.

I picked this up because I wanted to read a festive holiday book full of Christmas cheer and it didn’t disappoint! The book was cute and I loved the cozy holiday vibe it gave, especially with celebrating Christmas in the country. Some scenes were a bit cliche and cringy(although I sort of anticipated that going in) but overall I enjoyed it!

Yes, I read a Christmas romance in July! I needed a change from my other contemporaries. This was so cute and I really enjoyed it. We had a grumpy cowboy and a sunshine heroine who had amnesia. If that doesn’t sound like something I would love, then I don’t know what does.
Eli and Cass were such a joy to read about! They were so good for each other and brought out the better qualities of each other. Cass helped Eli become more soft and open to others caring about him. Eli helped Cass realize that she wasn’t happy with her past life and she should live her life for herself.
I adored the backdrop that the rance provided for this story. Just picturing the snow and how the house was decorated for the holiday really added to the story. Also, I have to say Frannie (the dog) really stole my heart as well. She just sounded so freakin’ adorable!
If you can’t tell, I really enjoyed this book. I will definitely pick this up again in a few months during Christmas time and you should too!

I enjoyed this. The writing isn’t phenomenal by any means but that’s not what I was looking for when I picked up this book.
I wanted a cowboy Christmas romance and that’s what I got. The book definitely focused more on ranch life than Christmas, but that didn’t bother me. Although I wish that Christmas hadn’t bee brushed over as quickly as it was, or at least it seemed.
I really liked Cass and Eli. Their story was definitely unique. I did get really annoyed with Cass though, especially towards the end.I don’t understand why she didn’t keep reading through her text messages with Ken to see that she wasn’t dating him. I also don’t understand why she didn’t google these people after talking to Rose for the first time. I thought Eli was great. He was broken but soft (in a good way).
I’m sure I’ll continue to read the series. Apparently, I can’t get enough of the cowboy books.
