Book Review: The Cowboy's Christmas Compromise by Jill Kemerer

 

If you're looking for an uplifting seasonal romance, you should look no further than The Cowboy's Christmas Compromise by Jill Kemerer. This is the first book in the author's new Wyoming Legacies series. 

Dalton Cambridge shouldn't be turning down a ranch manager's position. He needs to provide a stable life for his son Grady, even if his potential new boss is the ex-wife of his ex-wife's new husband. And if he can keep the focus on business, then all should be fine. But when he finds himself falling for the single mother, will he take a chance at building the family he has only been able to imagine?

Erica Black searched everywhere for the perfect ranch manager, but all recommendations were that Dalton Cambridge was the man for the job. How could she hire him? Dalton's ex-wife was now married to her ex-husband, and with that would come tons of baggage Erica had no time for since inheriting Winston Ranch. If she risks it, she will have to do all she can to protect her heart and all her hard work from getting hurt in the process.

With The Cowboy's Christmas Compromise, Kemerer puts together two unlikely characters who have every reason not to get involved. Thinking of all the challenges they might face makes your head spin. Dalton and Erica approach life and their ex-spouses in different ways, which is bound to create a bit of friction, especially when the exes don't abide by court-mandated agreements. But the two of them need each other--Dalton needs a place to raise Grady and help him appreciate all that ranch life has to offer; while Erica needs an experienced ranch manager and time to focus on what to do with the pole barn (a promise she made when she inherited Winston Ranch). Though people around them feel the two are great together, Dalton and Erica are determined not to stay outside of a business relationship. When things come to a head with both of their ex-spouses, they learn a lot about themselves and each other. 

This seasonal romance is truly inspirational. Set during the Christmas season, readers witness the evolution of two people drawn together by faith, family, and love. I look forward to future books in the series.
