Cowboy Christmas Homecoming Mary Connealy; Ruth Logan Herne; Julie Lessman; Anna Schmidt

Description:
Glad tidings, hearts binding. 

They’ve weathered a lot worse than winter. For widow June Harper, another cold front is about to hit. Most call him Hugh. She’d call him Scrooge, except as the man ensures her needs are met, June can’t help but wonder how to meet the needs of his heart.

Netty Lewis can take care of herself, has for a while now. Some hired help over the holidays doesn’t change that. And even if Roy does take care of her, that doesn’t mean he cares for her or that he’ll stay past Christmas.

Pastor Colton McCabe is having the opposite problem. He’s not sure he’ll make it through the holidays with his new housekeeper. Grace can’t seem to do anything right but love. Perhaps being a homekeeper will earn her a permanent residence in his heart.

And no one longs for a home more than Connie Lancaster. She’s determined to return to St. Louis, and no cowboy can change her mind. But if Isaac can change her heart, maybe Connie will see the homecoming she’s been waiting for isn’t to a place but a person.

My thoughts on the book:

Grace has craved one thing her whole life, she wants family and to belong. When she turns her life around she sets out to make a new life and hopes her best friend's help is still needed even a year later, but when she arrives she finds the last thing she expected. Col has his four girls, his aunt and his church to take care of and he also needs to get his wive's last wish finished in time for christmas. When help seems to arrive at his door step the last thing he thinks that will happen is disaster but it seems thats all that follows in Graces wake. Will they both find the love and forgiveness they both seek?

Hugh is mad at God he feels as if God wronged him, but when one of his day workers the spitfire of a women and his sister show him that even in the worst of time you have to rely on God to get you through. He wonders if the path he is on is the right one. June and her friends have lost everything all they have left is each other an their kids. The three set off to get a job, June and Anna get the job so they are left to care for the eight. When one man sets out to destroy their chance June has no problem going toe to toe with him and in doing so she get the attention of the rancher that she needs to convince there are people in need out the in hope for help for everyone. Love has not boundaries but learning to love with out them and to love others in their darker times seemed to be the moral of this story. 

Betty is wondering if its time to walk away and make a better life for her and her son since thats all thats left. When she stuck in a whole a cow has chased her in she has time to think and knows there has to be a better way. When a stranger helps her out she wonders if she can convince him to stay and help her and her son even though she has nothing to give. Roy is fighting his own personal demons and is set to head west but is in no hurry to get there. As he is riding past a farm and sees a horse gone rouge he sets out to find its rider. When she tries and convinces him to stay and help her out he wonders if it will even be worth his time. Will they be able to work together and get the money they both need? I really really enjoyed this story out of all of them. I really enjoyed that the true meaning of Christmas played out and they way it played out. 

Connie has had it all and looses it just as quickly. When her dad dies her and her mom set off and settle in Arizona but she has a longing to go home. Isaac sets out to change there mind he knows in his heart that she is the one for him. Will that be able to see eye to eye before its to late? This story was so fun it was quick and had a lot pact into it. A story of finding out that things aren't always as they seem. 

Each of these stories seem to have an underlay of a moral to the story each one was completely enjoyable and makes you want more. Each story happened around Christmas time giving the christmas feel however Longhorn Christmas was my favorite it truly showed the real reason for Christmas. Each story is set in the 1800s but over all the books where well worth the read and completely enjoyable, so worth the purchase. It leaves you wanting just a little more. Each story shows that with out love and stubbornness life is just that and you can't embarrass those around you.
