The Christmas Bargain by Shanna Hatfield - Review of the first book in the Hardman Holidays series




BACK  OF  THE  BOOK BLURB
(copied from Amazon.com)
One Old West Cinderella discovers
Prince Charming is a . . . Cowboy?

The death of her mother left Philamena Booth grieving and at the mercy of her drunken father. After spending more than a decade held captive on their run-down farm, she's left speechless and dazed when her father strikes a bargain to settle a long overdue debt. In lieu of payment, a handsome cowboy agrees to take her. Mortified yet relieved to leave the farm, Philamena unexpectedly finds herself married to a charismatic, caring man.

Luke Granger might own Hardman's bank and the fanciest house in this Eastern Oregon town, but he'd much rather be outside riding his horses or wrangling his herd of cattle than keeping his account books straight. In a strange, unsettling turn of events, he finds himself accepting a farmer's daughter instead of money to cover a loan. If the man hadn't threatened to sell her to the saloon owner, Luke might have refused. He has no idea what to do with beautiful Filly or their marriage of convenience, but he's about to get far more than he bargained for.

Full of Victorian and western charm, The Christmas Bargain is a sweet holiday romance filled with the spirit of the season.


MY  REVIEW
I haven't read one of Shanna's stories in quite a while and boy did I miss them! She has a way of telling stories to pull on your heartstrings, then immediately your laughing or crying with happiness, and then it repeats the process. If you have not read any of her books you don't know what you're missing!!!
