My Review
“Texas Christmas Grooms” by Pamela
Griffin and Vickie McDonough is a book I picked up at my local
library book sale and such an interesting book. This is a book that
is made up of two novella's that have me wondering if there are other
books that go along with the novellas but it doesn't seem like it,
however, sounds like there could be some interesting stories there.
The little blurb on the front of the
book, “Two Charming Tales of Don't-Tie-Me-Down Men Who Are Each
Lassoed by Unexpected Love” sums up the two stories perfectly for
these two gentlemen are confirmed bachelors for life or so they
thought. Both gentlemen are people who are excelling in their
profession and seemingly content in their lives as they stand.
The former Texas Rangers who are now
matchmaker's have their hands full that is for sure with Erik and
Travis. To be honest though the stories didn't really focus on these
former Texas Rangers and what they are doing but on the two possible
couples. Stubbornness with both Erik and Travis is a theme that is
through both novellas for man oh man are both of these men stubborn.
Neither is willing to see beyond their plans it seems.
The young ladies of the stories though
are lovely creatures who are determined in their own way, not out of
stubbornness but out of necessity. Both have a family to think of
above their own needs. One is the need of keeping siblings together,
while the other is thinking of her own sibling(s). Both of the young
ladies have warm hearts that can be seen under everything. One has a
flaw that I can relate to and found her to be humorous and yet
heartbreaking for really no one thought to look beyond the actions to
the reason why she was the way she was.
These two novellas take place over
short periods of time, but that is the way it is with novellas, and
over all it didn't take anything away from the story. I read this
book with one thought in mind, each novella wasn't that long and so
it fit it with the time constraints that I had when I picked up the
book. I am the type of reader who enjoys sitting down and reading a
book in one sitting so I make the time to do just that when I pick up
a book. If I am short on time (too close to my bedtime for example)
I will pick up a book that has several novellas in it so that I can
still be reading within those time constraints. I made time early
one morning to read the second novella in this book for I just loved
the telling of the first one and wanted to see what happened.
I hope those who read this book enjoys
it as much as I did.
