FATHER GOOSE
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Jodi Thomas
Dispirited by war, when Trapper Hawkins accepts a job hauling five little rich girls to Dallas, all he cares about is the money. He doesn’t expect they’ll awaken his spirit–or that their intriguing nursemaid, Emery Adams, will awaken his heart. And when danger strikes as Christmas Eve nears, he definitely doesn’t expect Emery and the girls to risk their lives–for him . . .
THE MISTLETOE PROMISE * Sharla Lovelace
A catastrophic storm, an ailing herd, and a failing cattle ranch have left Texas rancher Josie Bancroft in danger of losing everything her father worked for. Still, she’d rather die than merge with her neighbor rancher Benjamin Mason, the man who broke her heart years ago, on Christmas Eve. As old sparks fly and secrets are revealed, however, Ben is determined to help Josie–and prove that this time around can be different. That the misunderstandings of Christmas past need not define their future . . .
CHRISTMAS ROAD * Scarlett Dunn
Yellow Fever has hit Clint Mitchum’s Texas hometown and taken his father and siblings, leaving Clint ever more cynical. Racing homeward to be by his mother’s side, Clint finds only a note from her, asking that he help her caregiver, a young woman named Amelia. Assuming his mother has passed, in his grief Clint ventures out to search for Amelia–and finds the best of gifts–just in time for Christmas . . .

Summary
The Cowboy who Saved Christmas is a collection of three stories set in Texas during Christmas time after the civil war. I enjoyed all of them and found a new to me author in Scarlett Dunn. Excited to go back and find more books written by her.
Father Good was adventurous, humorous and touching. Trapper is taking five very resourceful spoiled rich girls home for the holidays. Jodi outdoes herself with this story.
The Mistletoe Promise by Sharla is a good read about two people finally dealing with their misunderstandings of the past. This story could have triggers for readers. I don’t want to spoil too much of the story but Ben was in love with Josie five years ago when his ex shows up pregnant.
Christmas Road by Scarlett was a sweet story. Clint was one of my favorite characters. It was a feel good story and a great way to end the book.
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
