Review: The Billionaire Cowgirl’s Christmas (The Accidental Billionaire Cowboys Book 5) by Kris Bock

Playing the lottery was just for fun, but with the one-billion-dollar win, life gets complicated.

It’s been nearly a year since widowed Texas Rancher Ava Tomlinsonwon the lottery. And while her four adult sons have found love, Ava feels unsettled this Christmas. She’s giving her sons more privacy, but she’s especially lonely due to a rift in her once tight circle of friends. Ava’s not anticipating a romance when a handsome, younger survey geologist arrives at the ranch to work through the holidays. He’s sexy and fun, but only offering temporary.

North Rabe’s career keeps him on the road. His plans of working through the holidays are derailed when Ava includes him in family dinners and festive plans in Last Stand. He’s quickly smitten and finally has a glimpse of a family life he lost long ago. Does he dare attempt to lay down roots? And if so, how can he convince Ava and her protective sons he’s after her heart, not her money?

 

My Review:

A beautiful later in life romance.

I have read all of The Accidental Billionaire Cowboy books and I was happy to finally learn more about Ava, the matriarch of the Tomlinson family and the one who bought the winning lottery ticket that changed their lives.  I was so glad to see Ava meet North and for them to have a happily ever.  This book proves you’re never too old for love. This is a well written story with great characters.  It is a story about family, friends and love.  This book is the perfect way to end this series.

 

 

Review: The Cowboy’s Christmas Homecoming (The Coyote Cowboys of Montana) by Sinclair Jayne

She’s the one who got away, but now that this cowboy’s home for Christmas, does he have a second chance with his first love?

After years in special forces, soldier Rohan Telford has exchanged his helmet and flak jacket for his Stetson and heads home to Marietta, Montana to try to regain his place working his family’s thriving cattle ranch. He has one final task to carry out for his fallen team leader. Unfortunately, it involves facing the woman he loved but left. Rohan’s never forgotten Ginny, but she’s never forgiven him.

Following the death of her father, single mother and teacher Virginia ‘Ginny’ Lane has never felt less like celebrating the holidays. Still grieving, she’s determined to fulfill her father’s legacy and corral local volunteers to help her open the Harry’s House Annex, a teen center. She’s short on Christmas spirit and that’s before her ex–high school sweetheart Rohan Telford saunters up like twelve years and a messy break up never happened.

Virginia only remembers the bad, but Rohan’s determined to remind her of how good they still are.

 

My Review:

A wonderful second chance romance.

Ginny Lane was the love of Rohan Telford’s life.  She was heartbroken when he decided to join the military.  Rohan had hopes of getting back together with Ginny when it was finally time to come back home.  But Rohan had no idea how much Ginny’s life had changed.  Rohan was really going to work hard to gain Ginny’s trust again.  This book was sweet, touching, emotional and a great romance and starting life over story.  I really enjoyed seeing Ginny and Rohan rekindle their relationship and start to build a new life together.
