Dinca’s Review of Cowboy Boots for Christmas (Burnt Boot, Texas, Book 1) by Carolyn Brown
Contemporary Romance published by Sourcebooks Casablanca 7 Oct 14
Apparently the Burnt Boot series is a spinoff of another series by Carolyn Brown. It looks like I will have some serious reading to do to catch up. Burnt Boot is a crazy world of its own, and what a trip!
Finn O’Donnell is home from Afghanistan and trying to carve out a place in life after service to his country. He is sour on love, after being duped by a woman who turned out to be a spy. He thought she was blown up over there but finds out she is alive and well. When his Army buddy and the other half of his sniper team shows up needing refuge for her nephew, he welcomes them at his new ranch, Salt Draw.
Callie Brewster needs a safe haven for her nephew who witnessed a murder. Instead of going into the witness protection program, she heads to Finn, who she knows will help keep her nephew safe. After all, that is what they had done in Afghanistan, keep each other safe. As his spotter she knows they are a winning team. Callie know hiding out on the ranch is one thing, but falling for the rancher is out of the question. She has no intention of living her life out on a ranch.
This story has everything a country music writer would love. Well, maybe not a train, but it’s still good and makes for an interesting tale. The story moved right along at a steady pace and had highlights with a parrot that watched too many crime shows and could not keep a secret.
You will fall in love with the little old ladies in this series and the kids will keep you entertained. And who can resist a Christmas love story.
Grade: A
