A Cowboy for Christmas: A Jubilee, Texas Novel

by Lori Wilde

Overview

It's Christmastime in Jubilee, Texas, but Lissette Moncrief is having a hard time celebrating . . .

Especially after she accidentally smashes her car into Rafferty Jones's pick-up truck. Yes, he's a whole lot of handsome—from the tips of his boots to the top of his Stetson. But he's no Christmas present. Lissy's not about to let herself get whisked away by his charming ways and words . . . only to watch him drive away in the end.

But what Lissy doesn't know is Rafferty's in town just to meet her—and to give her a share in a windfall that doesn't rightly belong to him. At first, he just wants to do his good deed and get out. But one look at this green-eyed beauty has him deciding to turn this into a Christmas to remember . . . making promises he's determined to keep—whether she believes in them or not.

Editorial Reviews

Lissette Moncrief is a young widow living in Jubilee, TX, following her husband Jake’s transformation from cowboy to soldier and his death in Afghanistan. Now her two-year-old son, Kyle, has been diagnosed with progressive deafness, and she just backed into another truck in the grocery store parking lot. The girl known in her family as the peacemaker is ready to explode. Rafferty Jones is as surprised as Lissy is to find that the woman he just met over their slightly dented vehicles is the woman he came from California to see, his half-brother Jake’s widow. Rafferty wants to give her the insurance money Jake left to him, but his sister-in-law has as much pride as he does, and something about her situation is calling out to Rafferty’s need to take care of others. Verdict In Wilde’s third installment in the “Jubilee, Texas” series (after The Cowboy and the Princess and The Cowboy Takes a Bride), our baker heroine struggles with her son’s deafness while trying not to depend too much on the gorgeous cowpoke who seems to possess the tenderness that was sorely lacking in her now dead husband. With recipes and perspectives into the deaf community, this sweet romance is a holiday treat. For all collections.—Bette-Lee Fox, Library Journal
