This is the last book in the series and can be read as a stand alone very easily, but you get a better idea of the family feud after having read the first three books in the series.

Declan's sister was in book three and has thrown Declan a bone in wanting to get out from under the feud. When he loses at a poker game and has to make the next woman who walks int the bar fall in love with him, he is really pleased to see the see the woman who he has had a crush for year on walk in, it does not matter that she is from the rival family.

Betsy like a lot of her other family is fed up with the feud too and wants to go it alone, she too has had a crush on a member of the other feuding family. When she sees Declan under the willow tree she explains how she wants a christmas programme and Declan offers to help her.

IT is with having helping each other that their feeling for each other grow, but they are concerned at how their families will react. It's a modern day Romeo and Juliet.

Both have family members that support their choice, it is only the grandma's that are not happy and have been making the feud worse each year.

I have really loved this series and will certainly miss burnt boot.

I enjoyed this book. It pulled you right in and kept you turning the pages. This book was well written and I had no issues following the story.

I have bought this book in ibooks and will read and review it soon as I am a fan of the author.

The fourth installment of Carolyn Brown’s Burnt Book, Texas series is set in the same season as the first book. It’s Christmas again and the one hundred year old feud between the Brennans and Gallaghers is still going strong. This story is as sweet as hot chocolate, as spicy as wassail, and as silly as two old women commanding their families like soldiers in a warzone.
When a previous Christmas row between the families destroys the live Christmas Nativity play neither family’s matriarch is willing to give an inch to allow the decorations to be replaced or the Nativity play to go on this year. Threats of loss of inheritances, loss of a home, and retaliations seems to be keeping everyone in line until one Tuesday night.
Tuesdays in Burnt Boot are set aside for poker between the Brennans and Gallaghers. This particular night Declan Brennan is goaded into a ridiculous high stakes bet with Tanner Gallagher that Declan can make the next woman to walk through the doors of the bar fall in love with him. When that woman turns out to be the beautiful Betsy Gallagher Declan knows he’s in big trouble, but a bet’s a bet.
As Declan and Betsy work together to try to allow the church to have the religious Christmas the town needs, they are also fighting feelings that lead to attraction and love. What they each really want is for the feud to end, but when Betsy finds out about the bet the budding romance takes a left turn and may be unsalvageable.
I always enjoy Carolyn Brown’s stories and this is one of the most entertaining ones to read. It is a light, fun Christmas tale and the reader can’t help but wish for a happy ever after ending for everyone. A Cowboy Christmas Miracle is a story that you can’t put down and the only characters who are villains of the piece are a pair of old women who keep managing to hurt themselves and the people they love, while younger, cooler heads prevail. Well, most of the time, anyway. Good for a laugh and a bit of old fashioned Christmas cheer.
