The Christmas Cowboy Hero by Donna Grant

5.0

Fabby new series with a hot, hot cowboy!

Clay has had enough of bloodshed. He left the SEALS behind and instead of going home as expected, he hot-footed it to Africa. Now policing poachers and protecting animals, he is also dodging his family!

But when a near tragedy strikes he is forced to return home. But he finds that his father's illness is only the tip of the iceberg and there is a heap of more trouble to deal with. Including some sneaky embezzling from the Accountant who was supposed to look after the books! But his fortune may have changed. When he catches a youngster rustling cattle, he calls the sheriff but when Brice's guardian turns up, Clay can't believe that this young woman has shouldered so much responsibility.

Abby Harper, put upon sister, Accountant wannabe and all around good girl needs a break. Her brothers are acting up, she is stressed trying to make money stretch, and she has zero romance. Her brother has been given the chance to payoff his debts by working at the ranch. Somehow he manages to make this an enjoyable thing and he loves the work.

Abby also finds herself enjoying the ranch and inadvertently finds herself helping Clay track down the missing money. Clay is reeling from his attraction to Abby but the more he fights, the more he falls!

Fantastic read. Abby is at turns naive, strong-willed and stubborn. But she has a heart of gold. Clay is rough, gruff with a hair trigger temper but he handles Brice and Caleb like younger brothers and really has a soft centre! I can't wait to see what happens in the next book!
