First, there\u2019s the adorable baby left on the snowy doorstep of her Oregon cabin. Second, there\u2019s the extremely attractive, yet extremely angry man claiming to be the father. Liam O\u2019Shaughnessy may be intimidating, but this is one precious gift Annie isn\u2019t giving up so easily . . .<\/p>\n<p><b>WHAT THE COWBOY WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS * Maisey Yates<\/b><br \/>\nWhen Meg O\u2019Neill\u2019s longtime boyfriend lets her down, again, on Christmas no less, she braves an Oregon blizzard to get to her best friend Noah\u2019s comforting arms. But this time Noah\u2019s not telling her what she wants to hear\u2014he\u2019s telling her the truth, from his heart. And his words just might be the gift Meg\u2019s been wishing for all along.<\/p>\n<p><b>SNOWED IN * Stacy Finz<\/b><br \/>\nRachel Johnson has found the perfect spot for her second Tart Me Up bakery in Glory Junction, California. Except she\u2019s in fierce competition with hunky bar owner Boden Farmer. Worse, while the icy rivals await the city\u2019s decision, they end up catering the same Christmas Eve mountaintop wedding\u2014and getting snowed in. But sometimes a loss of electricity generates a different kind of heat . . .<\/p>\n<p><b>A COWBOY WEDDING FOR CHRISTMAS * Nicole Helm<\/b><br \/>\nBig city art teacher Lindsay Tyler isn\u2019t just back home in Colorado for her brother\u2019s wedding at the Barton Christmas Tree Farm and Ranch. She\u2019s back for good. She just hasn\u2019t told anyone yet\u2014including Cal Barton, the ex-boyfriend she left behind. Will it take a Christmas miracle for him to welcome her back with open arms? . . . <\/p>\n<\/blockquote><center><span class=\"ubb-buy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B078QSQ5C9\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/amazon.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Amazon\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/santas-on-his-way-lisa-jackson\/1127750885;jsessionid=C81846F3BEE7B82507B85D007E6ABFD1.prodny_store01-atgap07?ean=9781420148091#\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/bn.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Barnes & Noble\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/santa-s-on-his-way\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/kobo.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Kobo\"><\/a><\/span><\/center><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/37830854-santa-s-on-his-way\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/widget_logo.gif?w=1280\" alt=\"Goodreads\"><\/a><br><\/center><center><p class=\"ubb-buy\"><div class=\"ubb-icon-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/4stars\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0003_4-stars.png?fit=80%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"4 stars icon\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/contemporary\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"140\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0007_contemporary.png?fit=140%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"contemporary icon\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/holiday\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/categories_0000s_0015_holiday.png?fit=80%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"holiday\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/romance\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"82\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0017_romance.png?fit=82%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"romance icon\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/center><br>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2018-09-27T06:00:52+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": ,\n\t\"publisher\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Organization\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Llama Reads Books\"\t},\n\t\"url\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\\\/blog\\\/index.php\\\/2018\\\/09\\\/26\\\/review-santas-on-his-way-anthology\\\/\",\n\t\"itemReviewed\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Book\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Santa's on His Way\",\n\t\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\t\"name\": \"Lisa Jackson, Maisey Yates, Nicole Helm, Stacy Finz\",\n\t\t\t\"sameAs\": \"\"\t\t},\n\t\t\"isbn\": \"\"\t},\n\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"ReadingLlama\",\n\t\t\"sameAs\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\\\/blog\\\/\"\t},\n\t\"reviewRating\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Rating\",\n\t\t\"ratingValue\": false,\n\t\t\"bestRating\": \"5\"\n\t}\n}\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t<hr \/>\n<p>I picked this up for the Stacy Finz story, as I&#8217;m not much of a cowboy romance fan, but I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked most of the stories.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to scare you.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIt doesn\u2019t scare me,\u201d she said, swallowing hard. \u201cBut I wonder how I didn\u2019t see it.\u201d<br \/>\nShe looked up, her eyes meeting his. \u201cIt\u2019s because you were looking at him,\u201d he responded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;What the Cowboy Wants For Christmas&#8221; &#8211; Maisey Yates &#8211; <b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Meg, Charlie and Noah were all foster kids as teens together, and have stayed friends as they grew into adults, though Meg and Charlie became a couple. \u00a0When an impromptu Christmas visit surprises Charlie in bed with someone else, Meg runs back to Noah. \u00a0As she realizes she stayed with Charlie mostly out of habit, she gradually realizes that she may have ignored her feelings for Noah so that she could stay with what was safe and familiar. \u00a0This was particularly sweet and I loved the author&#8217;s style. \u00a0While there&#8217;s a lot of backstory to their relationship, it felt like it was well covered in the space of the story. \u00a0I can&#8217;t believe I haven&#8217;t picked up anything by Ms. Yates before and she&#8217;ll definitely be going on my TBR list.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHe looked up and held her gaze. \u201cHow come you\u2019re being so nice? You usually act like you don\u2019t like me.\u201d<br \/>\nWell, that had been blunt. \u201cI like you just fine, but I view you as a competitor for something I want. Very badly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Snowed In&#8221; &#8211; Stacy Finz &#8211;\u00a0<b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve read the other Garner Brothers books, and I&#8217;ve loved the love\/hate chemistry between Rachel, the local bakery\/coffee shop owner, and Boden, the owner of the local bar. \u00a0This story picks up after the last book with both competing to get the lease on one of the last remaining undeveloped buildings in their small town. \u00a0In the midst of the presentations to the town council, they both are contracted for a Christmas wedding at a remote cabin&#8230; and well, you can guess what happens. \u00a0Yes, it&#8217;s quite predictable, but I loved the characters and especially Rachel&#8217;s drive. \u00a0While you get some added background if you&#8217;ve read the series, I think this would work fine as a standalone.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cShe\u2019d always liked that, that Cal had roots just like hers. Old and settled into the land, but unlike her family\u2019s straightforward cattle ranch, Cal had this amazing, festive, and unique history.<br \/>\nCal was none of those things, which had always pleased her. Her gruff, taciturn cowboy whose smile was mostly just for her because he didn\u2019t smile for much else.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;A Cowboy Wedding for Christmas&#8221; &#8211; Nicole Helm &#8211;\u00a0<b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This is another author I haven&#8217;t read before, but I enjoyed it. \u00a0Unlike the previous two stories, which were pretty light, this one was quite angsty. \u00a0Lindsey left her hometown six years ago to try to find her place in the world, and is now uncomfortable to admit that the only place that feels like &#8220;home&#8221; is the one she abandoned. \u00a0Plus, the only person she&#8217;s ever loved was her high school boyfriend, Cal, who seems to view her with nothing but contempt now. \u00a0Cal was&#8230; well, he was a bit of a jerk, and I was very glad when he finally snapped out of it. \u00a0While I found this one harder reading than the others, it had a good payoff. \u00a0I think my main issue was that it just felt out of tune with the previous two stories. \u00a0I think I&#8217;ll look up more of Ms. Helm&#8217;s books, though.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A Baby for Christmas&#8221; &#8211; Lisa Jackson &#8211;\u00a0<b>\u2605<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a fan of any of the baby tropes to begin with, so I think I was just destined to not like this story. \u00a0Plus, of all the ones in this anthology, this is the only one that felt, well, incomplete in the novella format. \u00a0There were too many POVs and not enough focus on the core relationship to sell this to me. \u00a0For one thing, the characters go from almost complete strangers to in love and getting married in two weeks, and that&#8217;s not even counting the influence of all the stress of taking care of a newborn. \u00a0The story was set in the 90s, and honestly, this reads more like one of the mediocre category romances of that era.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I enjoyed most of the stories in this anthology, and would definitely recommend it, especially to fans of cowboy romances!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I picked this up for the Stacy Finz story, as I&#8217;m not much of a cowboy romance fan, but
