A Cold Creek Noel (The Cowboys of Cold Creek Book 11)

Library JournalEver since the murder of rancher Caidy Bowman's parents just before Christmas 11 years ago, December has been a bleak time for her, despite Caidy's efforts to keep holiday traditions alive for her young niece. The season isn't easy as well for widower and single dad Ben Caldwell, who's just moved to town with his two children to take over the town's veterinary practice. So when Ben and his family need a temporary place to stay over the holidays, Caidy volunteers the vacant foreman's house on her ranch and finds that having a sexy vet so close by—especially in the middle of the night—is more than a little disconcerting. VERDICT Poignant, sweet, and infinitely romantic, this emotionally compelling story of two wounded souls needing healing and love overflows with children, animals, and holiday warmth and adds another delightful chapter to Thayne's popular family-oriented series.
