BOOK REVIEW: The Cowboy’s Miracle Baby by Barbara Ankrum

The Cowboy’s Miracle Baby by Barbara Ankrum

The Hardestys of Montana (book 3)

Tule Publishing (November 13, 2024)

Holiday Romance/Small Town Contemporary Romance

Cami Hardesty might have a problem saying no. Not that she doesn’t love her full life teaching school, herding six-year-olds in Christmas pageants, and helping on her family’s guest ranch. But finding an abandoned newborn at a pageant rehearsal accompanied by a note asking for Cami’s help might just be the thing that breaks her. No one recommends she champion the child. But how can she say no to this infant who needs her and awakens an unexpected want? When the town’s temporary vet takes her side, Cami imagines a life she never had.

For years, Gus Claymore has taken temporary vet gigs and carefully avoided entanglements after the passing of his wife. But Christmas in Marietta blindsides him—the baby’s plight, his young daughter’s hunger for roots and family, and his unexpected and unwanted feelings for Cami. Love? He didn’t think that was in the cards for him again. He has a pending job in Denver, and now an impossible choice.

Can this one, lost baby be the Christmas miracle that changes all their lives?

REVIEW

I love stories set in the small town of Marietta, especially Christmas ones. Once again, Marietta’s magic is cast on these two main characters as well as Gus’s younger daughter. Enjoyable sweet story with a fantastic ending!
