THE COWBOY'S HOLIDAY BLESSING by Brenda Minton

Jackson Cooper has changed his ways and is living a quiet life these days. That all changes when his neighbor, Madeline Patton, shows up one morning on his doorstep with Jade Baker. Jade claims Jackson is her father and though he knows it can't be true, he's not going to turn the kid out in the cold. He talks Madeline in letting Jade stay at her house until they can find her mother. Madeline understands having a messed up childhood and has sympathy for Jade but she also needs to be careful to guard her heart against the very charming Jackson Cooper. She knows his charm has the power to hurt her. Can two very guarded people and one energetic teenager open their hearts to receive the greatest Christmas gift ever?

What a wonderful start to the Cooper Creek Series! This is Jackson Cooper's story and let me tell you, what a charmer he is!!! I loved the way he handled the whole situation with Madeline and Jade. He was funny and sweet with the kind of strength that makes a girl feel protected. Madeline was someone who was strong but her strength was a shield against hurt. I loved watching these two trying to work together for the sake of Jade without involving their hearts! I laughed, I cringed and I sighed. I have to say, I absolutely loved the ending! Now, I'm anxious to get back to Dawson!
