The third book in The Canadays of Montana series a well written Christmas story that kept me turning pages. This time it is event planner Eve Canaday and her secret crush, Dr. Ben Tyler's story. A man that is afraid to love and because of his Dad thinks he has to live up to his standards. I enjoyed seeing this story come together. This is a new Author to me, I want to read the rest of the books in this series.

Event planner Eve Canaday and her secret crush, Dr. Ben Tyler, are unexpectedly drafted to help a little girl fulfill her late mother’s wish—a magical Christmas to create some happy memories. Eve sees this opportunity as a sign; Ben, as a glitch in his plan to leave Marietta behind for good. As the trio checks off the to-do list of Christmas fun, Ben’s ‘bah-humbug’ opinion of the holiday fades, along with ideas about keeping his distance from Eve. Getting involved is the last thing he wants to do but, alas, there’s no accounting for cosmic interference.
With the season of miracles upon this jewel of a town, will Eve find it’s possible that Christmas wishes aren’t only for little girls?
This was a cute story that takes place in Marietta, Montana. It is full of the holiday magic feelings and a delight to read. I highly recommend to anyone that likes holiday romance and friends to lovers themes.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

Sadly I thought I'd downloaded this story before it archived, I did not and missed out on what I'm sure was an entertaining story.

I couldn't read this book, I downloaded it but for some reason the books were all jumbled and didn't make sense.

I struggled through The Cowgirl's Christmas Wish. Neither Eve nor Ben were characters I could get into. There wasn't enough about Eve's life to make her particularly compelling. There was plenty about Ben, almost all of it how he wanted emotional distance from everything and everyone. The combination made it hard to keep me interested.

Where this book excelled was in the Christmas feeling and the special events set up for Lily (who Ben and Eve are helping care for). Marietta Christmases are wonderful, full of small town spirit. Sadly, Christmas and Lily could not save this story for me.

I have struggled recently with the Montana Born, Marietta-set books. I think it's more about me, but the books just seem to have lost their small town, tight knit charm.
