i really enjoy the Johnstone's writing and always have. This novel is very well done with great characters and I loved that it was a western in a christmas setting.

A Jensen Family Christmas is a great story. It is what I expect by this author. I am giving it five stars and highly recommend it.

This was my first time reading this author. I enjoyed it. This year I was a bit disappointed in a few Christmas books. This was not one of them. I will read this author again.

Anytime you are looking for a good book to read, look for the Johnstone name and you are guaranteed an exciting western/frontier story line built around a strong family ethic where characters from all of their series join in to keep the peace and save the day. This installment of the Jensen family saga has many of the series' regulars coming together to celebrate Christmas. Of course, along the way they must prove again that the law will prevail, and if it doesn't, the Jensen's reputation for speedy dispatch of criminals will keep you reading. Along the way, you'll find the Johnstone's have written accurate accounts of life as it was. Hardships are to be borne along with good times and the Jensen family will come out ahead in the end. I'll keep reading Johnstone books as long as they keep writing them.

No matter how bad if a day I'm having I can always count on William W.Johnstone to make me feel better, once again his work and this story had me smiling and just getting lost in it.

A Jensen Family Christmas by William Johnstone is a traditional cowboy novel about the extended family of Smoke and Sally Jensen making their way to the Sugarloaf Ranch in Colorado, under the guise of Ace and Chance explaining to their cousin Denny (Denise) how they discovered that her uncle Luke was their father. It has all the essential requirements: horses, bad guys, guns, lies, heroes, and a solid home to which they can all return. Smoke is the fastest gun in the West and although he is trying to live down the reputation, it still comes in handy now and then. He allows no one in his family or close friends circle to be hurt or frightened, although he tries to go through the law first. This is an exciting book with lots of stories that come together early in the morning on Christmas Day.

A Jensen Family Christmas is a traditional cowboy story, which is exactly what I was looking for. Sometimes it reads like Star Wars in cowboy dress. There is a lot of fighting and killing, but isn't that what Westerns are for? Smoke and Sally read as a lot older than they apparently are, because their daughter, Denny, is born after this story takes place, at which time her cousins, Ace and Chance, are at least twenty. Their mother died at their birth and they were raised by substitute father, who not only did a great job, but carries the secret of their birth father's identity. Luke Jensen is a grizzled old bounty hunter, but by killing his latest bounty, he has inherited the man's three young children. Quite a job getting them to Sugarloaf Ranch in one piece. Don Juan Sebastian Aguilar and his lovely wife, Mariana have arrived in town intending to lay claim to the entire valley with an old Spanish land grant in hand. They play their parts with aplomb. All in all, a terrific read. I recommend it.

I received a free ARC of A Jensen Family Christmas from Netgalley. #netgalley #ajensenfamilychristmas

Despite it coming early I love these christmas themed westerns by the Johnstone family. I must thank both #Netgalley and #KensingtonBooks for letting me read A Jensen Family Christmas. This is I think one of the biggest gatherings of the Jensen family ever. Such a treat. Some things will be revealed but I will not spoil the fun. If you like cozy, western and action combined with gunplay this is for you

Lovely festive read. It was a heart warming romance. It was a wonderful book to read. It was well written and flowed well.
