Loved this story about family loss, grieving and finding love. Jake had lost his parents, uncle and aunt as a young boy and had had a hard time coming to grips with the situation. As soon as he was eighteen he left for the rodeo. Then meeting up with Callie, who also has demons of her own to resolve, they become an unlikely pair only to find their happily ever after

A steamy friends to lovers romance that leaves you breathless in many ways! The story is not overly focused on Christmas but more so on how Christmas affected them. Rodeo Christmas at Evergreen Ranch is a lot about working through past heartbreak, learning how to take a chance on love, and letting love heal your soul. Together these two characters worked very well and because of that, the ending truly brought light into the story. Deep and emotional, Yates brings it all together for a sweet small town cowboy Christmas romance with heart. * Copy received for review consideration

4 1/2 STARS! Reconnecting with this Gold Valley fam is always a delight! Jack Daniels is attention grabbing enough to have me hooked from the start, but once his feisty BFF Callie shows up, all bets are off and I'm rooting for her to get her man! Great characters, heartfelt emotional healing and a sweet happily ever after. Jake has always been one of the quieter ones of the bunch when we got together with the gang at Hope Springs Ranch, but he's settling in and doing things on his term now that he's leaving the rodeo and seeing him with Cal just shows the torch he's carrying. Callie adores Jake and knows he will help her continue her rodeo career ... even if it means something as crazy as marrying her so she can get access to her trust fund! I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a small town romance with a sexy cowboy surrounding by a rambunctious family who stand by each other through thick and thin.
