Having read the first two novels in this series, I was delighted to dive into this third novel that was also a lovely Christmas story as well. It also continued some of the stories in the two previous novels so the readers can continue to "keep track" of some of their favorite characters. As a "carnie" who always dreamed of settling down, Liz Hanson only asked for two things on her Christmas list: a house that wasn't on wheels and her very own cowboy. This story highlight

A story with a cowboy always hits the target, but add a little Christmas flair and a saucy heroine and you have a winner.
I know when I open a book by Ms. Brown, I’m in for a great time with characters I’ll never forget. This book is hot, humorous and a great time. I love a book where there’s a little bit of misunderstanding and a lot of longing. Ms. Brown delivers.

drey’s thoughts:
If you’ve read Carolyn Brown’s cowboy romances, you’ll know that they’re completely addicting. If you haven’t, well, you’ve been warned. This latest Spikes and Spurs installment features a girl who’s loved a boy since she met him forever and a day ago, and a boy who hasn’t forgotten her in all those years. You’d think with this kind of a start, the story would be over and done lickety-split.
But if it was, you’d miss out on the laugh-out-loud humor and the sexy bant More...

Lizelle Hanson is a carnie, as she calls herself. She traveled and worked as a fortune teller and belly dancer for most of her life. But what she always wanted was roots; somewhere to call home, a house that has a foundation and not wheels. In fact, that is a Christmas wish that she has; she wants a house and a cowboy. The first part of her wish comes true when her uncle moves out of his house to take care of his father and is going to leave it to her if she still wants to live there after she t

Wow. I love those O'Donnell boys, and Raylen was certainly a hot one. I loved the way that Liz settled in to her house so quickly, and began getting to know everyone. She remembered Raylen from her two previous visits, and was really hoping he was still available. Raylen hadn't forgotten her either. I really enjoyed the way he helped her setting things up, and the way that she helped him too. They both had some insecurity issues - he was afraid she'd leave and go back to the carnie way of

Recommended with a grin
There is one thing I have come to connect with Brown's books, and that is that they always makes me smile. I usually sit there with a grin on my face, because they are sweet and fun.
This book is part of a series, but it can be read as a standalone. You will feel at home at once. The books are inviting and the town is a place I would like to visit, and the people there, I would love to have them as friends.

The sex scenes are no more than "grope and go"... Romance... wasn't any just "gotta have sex".
The colt in the house... OMG... as someone who's been bottle feeding a calf for a couple of months.... the stench, the mess, the..... definately someone who had no idea what she was talking about.

Overall it was a good book. I liked both of the families and Raylen and Blaze were probably my two most favorite characters. The emotion in the book was lacking some, mostly when it came to Raylen and Liz's "fights." They didn't feel like fights and Liz always ran (well drove) to his house and everythings okay. It was lacking intenseness.

I’ve loved Brown’s series of contemporary Cowboy romances. The O’Donnell family has been one of my favorites…and I’m looking forward to more.

I really liked it. I enjoyed a nice and growing relationship between Liz and Raylen. They didn't have to fight other people to have a relationship. I also really enjoyed that other couples had relationships going on in the back ground of the book.
