Christmas with the Cowboy by Tina Radcliffe

Christmas with the Cowboy by Tina Radcliffe is a great way to start the Christmas season!  I was so excited to come back to Big Heart Ranch in Oklahoma for a visit.  I am a huge fan of the ranch and the characters there.   I love Tina Radcliffe’s characters.  They seem like the kind of people I would want to have lunch with.    In Christmas with the Cowboy we learn more about Emma who works at the ranch and Zach who is a six-foot five former Navy Seal.   Emma had been married to Zach’s brother, but is now a widow.  Zach has always been fond of Emma since they were kids.  They have wonderful chemistry and I was cheering for Zach and Emma to get together.   I loved their banter and Emma’s twin girls added so much. 

This story has wonderful adventures, great cowboys, and the down-home feeling of Oklahoma.  (I was born in Oklahoma so I know this.)   I highly recommend you read Christmas with the Cowboy.  Prepare yourself to get into the Christmas spirit and make some new friends.

A Rumored Fortune by Joanna Davidson Politano

A Rumored Fortune by Joanna Davidson Politano is a book you want to read and savor.  The book is filled with romance, intrigue, mystery, treasure hunting, and words of wisdom.  It is so well written.   I love the author’s descriptions of people, places and her wonderful use of language.  The book follows our heroine Tressa Harlowe and our heroine Donegan Vance as they both change and grow towards the Lord and fall in love. 

The book is set at Trevelyn castle.  The estate has a vineyard that is being cultivated by our hero.  There are many wonderful quotes about raising grapes from the notebook of a viticulturist at the beginning of each chapter.  For me the quotes were thought provoking and added greatly to the novel.  Ms. Politano weaves in the theme of vineyards throughout the story.  My favorite quote from Tressa “I can only take so much pruning, “she whispered.  “Why is God doing this to me?  He’s. . . He’s pruning the very life out of me.” 

A Rumored Fortune is the second book Joanna Davidson Poloitano has written. I consider her an author to watch, and one of my favorites.  I highly encourage you to read this fabulous book.
