EXCERPT

Clearly, the man had no concept of his effect on her.

When Daisy pulled up to Trey’s house and saw him standing at the base of the steps to greet her in nothing but low slung denims and work boots, she’d found it hard to breathe. Suddenly, Jack Frost and his Pennsylvania winter lost their appeal. Who needed snow when a smokin’ hot cowboy waited for her? Welcomed her? Wanted her?

If she hadn’t come to Houston, she wouldn’t have met the handsome ranch hand who filled her dreams night after night. Trey had become her single compelling reason to work through her personal pain. That and the fact that she’d never give up police work. She’d find a way to succeed, one way or another. It was hard for a cop to be flexible, since theirs was a structured world, but she was trying her best to adapt to her new environment.

Daisy took a bite of her chicken salad while Trey munched his roast beef. They ate in companionable silence while Big Blue grazed beyond. Trey took a swallow of bottled ice tea and then spoke. “Would you like to spend Christmas Eve together, here? Maybe help me trim the tree?”

Daisy’s spirit lifted again with the invitation, though she tried to stay cool. She and her sister Rose had already been invited to Christmas dinner with Trey’s family, and she’d promised to bring homemade pumpkin pie and oven fresh bread. Rose was making apple pie and a side dish.

Daisy hadn’t expected to spend Christmas Eve with Trey too, but she was glad he asked. “Sure. I’d like that.” The heaviness around her heart broke free and her mood lifted. She imagined the two of them in an embrace, making love beneath the twinkling lights of Trey’s Christmas tree, and realized she was…happy.

It had been so long since she’d known the feeling it took seconds to realize what had come over her. She smiled and savored the moment. Trey made her happy. Spending Christmas with him was the best gift the season could bring.

There would be no snowfall in Texas. Or winter’s chill.  No downhill sledding, hot cocoa, or ice covered boots. There might not be snippets of holly gracing the table, but there would undoubtedly be mistletoe. With that final thought, Daisy leaned over and gave Trey a deep, gotta’ get-back-to-work kiss.
He smiled at her, and just like that… Daisy found her Christmas spirit.

CAT'S REVIEW

"Her Christmas Cowboy" by Adele Downs is a sequel to "Kissing Her Cowboy". 
Daisy and Trey - two souls that have helped each other through difficult times, and, along the way, fell in love.  Now, Daisy is struggling with a decision that would take her away from Trey.  Trey is a sweetheart - really no other way to describe him.  He works hard and loves Daisy with all that he is.  To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of Daisy, at least not in this book.  I understood her feeling a bit homesick, especially at Christmas time but she couldn't see what was right in front of her.  In my eyes, she did redeem herself a bit at the end.  This is a sequel to "Kissing Her Cowboy" and I highly recommend reading that first.  I had not and did feel a bit lost as to the backstory of the characters, even though Ms. Downs does touch on the history, the story is just too short to rehash it all.  Overall, this is a nice holiday tale about love and Christmas spirit.  (Received copy for honest review)
