Susan's Review of Wishing on a Christmas Cowboy by Sara Richardson
Pediatric nurse Kyra Fowler is finally going to realize her dream. She’s got a job lined up at the most prestigious children’s hospital in London. There’s only one little snag—first she has to sell the Wyoming town she’s just inherited from her estranged father. After a little fixing up, the place should easily attract a buyer. Hopefully she’ll be celebrating the sale by New Year’s.
Ex-Navy SEAL Aiden Steele couldn’t save his brother-in-law on the battlefield, but he can save his sister’s ranch and give his nieces the life they deserve in the town they love. He’s not about to let some outsider make a mint selling to a ruthless developer. Operation Save Star Valley is foolproof: show Kyra the sights, let the Christmas spirit work its magic, and bam! She’ll decide not to sell and he can ensure his family is taken care of. Except as he tries to make Kyra fall in love with the town, Aiden starts falling for her.
Wishing on a Christmas Cowboy is my first Holiday Read of 2022! I ADORED this heartwarming story of second chances set in the small town community of Star Valley, Wyoming.
The pairing of pediatric nurse Kyra Fowler and former Navy SEAL turned cowboy Aiden Steele surprised me. Kyra was determined to move to London until she learned that she inherited a town from her estranged father. She’s not interested in making friends or becoming part of the community. Her goal is sell the town by the holidays.
Sara Richardson writes the perfect hero for Kyra. Aiden is swoon worthy—a retired Navy seal who adores his nieces and helps his sister run her ranch. His goal?? To charm Kyra into staying Star Valley. The chemistry between Kyra and Aiden—off the charts!
I love Sara Richardson’s voice—the rich descriptions of Star Valley, the sights and its people drew me into the story. I loved reading the pages when Doris, Nelly and Minnie greet Kyra with coffee and muffins on her first day while Kyra was wondering how they got into her house! I imagined that I was part of the cattle round up adventure with Kyra, Aiden, Tess and her daughters. The scenery, the campfire and the banter between Kyra and Aiden were spot on. Adored the constant teasing between Aiden, Thatch and Silas as it added a lot of humor to the novel
Loved the holiday themed messages of joy, forgiveness and trust that are woven throughout the novel. Kyra was able to open her heart to new adventures, friendships and Aiden is able to reconcile with his past and focus on new beginnings.
Wishing on a Christmas Cowboy has all of the story elements that I adore-romance, complex family relationships and character growth. Loved the dynamic characters and the well-paced storyline. I hope Sara Richardson has a romantic story for Tess in mind!
