About the Book
With her mortgaged farm, rebellious brother and two jobs, Layla Silver
is struggling to keep afloat for the holidays. But does she need Gage
Cooper riding to her rescue? Back in high school, Gage was nobody's
hero. Now he's an injured bull rider home for Christmas to make amends
for his checkered past. And something about the stubborn, beautiful
Layla has him wanting more than forgiveness. Can a wandering cowboy turn
a Christmas courtship into an everlasting love?
My Thoughts
I
LOVED this book … possibly my favorite in the Cooper Creek series so
far. Gage makes for a dashing hero, and I enjoyed watching him have to
really work to get a girl's attention. :) Layla is such a sweetheart,
and I felt bad for the constant struggles she faced. I have a hard time
asking for help, too, so I really identified with that aspect of her
personality. Perhaps there's a good lesson for me in her story. Every
time I read about the Coopers, I wish I had a gigantic family like that.
Don't get me wrong, I love my small family, but there's something so
appealing about a family with a dozen siblings and spouses and children
all piled in together for the holidays. The power of a good story, I
guess! [4.5 stars]

About the Author
Brenda Minton lives in the Ozarks with her husband, three children, a
horse, a few cats and a couple of dogs. What she says about herself
probably isn't as important as what others say. Her daughter says she is
"coffee crazy." She isn't afraid to share that news with complete
strangers. Her middle son thinks she is really embarrassing when she
wears fuzzy pink slippers to pick him up at school. Her oldest son
doesn't comment. He's a smart kid.
Brenda is a country girl who loves to travel. Her dream home is a
house on the beach, waves crashing against the shore and a deck where
she can have coffee and watch the sun come up.
What does she do when she's not writing? Her kids say she talks on
the phone a lot. That's probably true. She's looking into a twelve-step
program, but unfortunately she has a lot of enablers who also like to
talk on the phone.
She does have other hobbies. She loves to canoe, camp and hike. And of course, drink coffee on the front porch.
