It's Christmas in Copper Ridge, and love is waiting to be unwrapped…

Falling for a bad boy once is forgivable. Twice would just be foolish. When Sabrina Leighton first offered her teenage innocence to gorgeous, tattooed Liam Donnelly, he humiliated her, then left town. The hurt still lingers. But so does that crazy spark. And if they have to work together to set up her family winery's new tasting room by Christmas, why not work him out of her system with a sizzling affair? 

Thirteen years ago, Liam's boss at the winery offered him a bribe—leave his teenage daughter alone and get a full ride at college. Convinced he wasn't good enough for Sabrina, Liam took it. Now he's back, as wealthy as sin and with a heart as cold as the Oregon snow. Or so he keeps telling himself. Because the girl he vowed to stay away from has become the only woman he needs, and this Christmas could be just the beginning of a lifetime together…

After reading Wild Ride Cowboy (book 9), I knew I needed to read Christmastime Cowboy! I knew that I needed more Donnelly! And boy, did I get a humdinger of a book with Christmastime Cowboy!!

We start out by reconnecting with Alex Donnelly, the bad boy of Copper Ridge, who broke Sabrina Leighton heart, when he took the bribe from her father, to get out of town! But now he is back, a self-made man, who wants to be a part of his family's life, even if that means dealing with the one person who hates him in all the world… Sabrina Leighton.

The last thing Sabrina need's in her life is Alex Donnelly, but the one thing she wants in her life, even if she won't admit it to herself, is Alex Donnelly! But he is back, and after an explosive arguments full of truths! Both Alex and Sabrina force themselves to face demons of the past, in order to be more.

This book blew my mind! I honestly didn’t think I could have been on a bigger emotional roller-coaster, since I read Wild Ride Cowboy, but clearly I was wrong, and please don't let the fact that this book is a romance, there are some hardcore and heartbreaking issues in this book, so if you are looking for a light and fluffy book, this isn’t for you, but if you are looking for a book that will steal your heart? WELCOME! It's truly wonderful here!

When it comes to the character, I loved Alex from the get go, with all his gruffness and sincerity. I will admit, it took me a little longer to warm up to Sabrina, because she seemed a snooty, but that quickly changes, and quite frankly, I became so lost in this book, they all became my close friends… sad, but true.

So while I could go on about this book for hours, and give away all its secrets, I am going to give you the key info. The writing is superb, and as you can tell from my ramblings above, the plot is one you can truly immerse yourself in, and this is why I give Christmastime Cowboy 5 stars!
