ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nChrisitine lives with her husband and two precious daughters in the foothills of the beautiful Ozark Mountains in her home state of Arkansas. Her greatest earthly joy is her family and, aside from doing God\u2019s will, spending time with them is her top priority.<\/p>\n

She recently took a break from writing romance to pen a Christmas story with a twist. Her Mom Lit novella, My True Love Gave to Me<\/em>, is part of a 2 in 1 anthology from Barbour entitled All Jingled Out<\/em>. It\u2019s also included in Simply Christmas<\/em>, a 4 in 1 Barbour anthology. One of my holiday highlights was seeing Simply Christmas at Sam\u2019s Club a few weeks before Christmas.<\/p>\n

She has written two other novellas, both romance, which are included in Barbour anthologies, City Dreams<\/em>, and Prairie County Fair<\/em> and a serial for the Heartsong Presents book club newsletter \u2013 The Carousel Horse<\/em>. The Carousel Horse can be read in its entirety on the Heartsong website<\/a>, and you can read excerpts from all of her other books on her website, HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2003, Christine was honored by being voted #2 Favorite New Author by the Heartsong Presents Book Club members!<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Actress Crytal McCord gave up the closeness of her big family in order to make a name for herself on the New York City stage. But when life in the Big Apple turns sour, she follows a country road back to her parents Arkansas ranch.<\/p>\n

The last thing she expects to find in cowboy country is a new leading man. Still, she can’t help but imagine handsome rancher Jeremy Buchanan in the role.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Jeremy’s been burned by Crystal’s type before. Or has he? Every time he thinks he knows her, the multi-faceted woman surprises him. Will the reluctant pair allow their hearts to guide them, or will their common stubborn pride keep them miles apart?<\/p>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have always enjoyed Christine Lynxwiler’s books and look forward to new ones. Reluctant Cowgirl<\/a> met my expectations and left me ready and waiting for the next installment.<\/p>\n

Crystal, and up and coming New York actress has spent her adult years avoiding her Arkansas home and family as she tried to dull the pain caused by her sister’s death. When she finally returns home to help out on the ranch temporarily, she finds herself spending more and more time with Jeremy who carries his own burden of pain. Neither wants to be more than friends, but as you can guess, their attraction grows in spite of their intentions.<\/p>\n

Told with both humor and thoughtfulness, Reluctant Cowgirl<\/a> is a heartwarming tale in which betrayal, loss, guilt, and unforgiveness\u00a0 are\u00a0 overcome through family ties, forgiveness, and receiving God’s acceptance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
