An Outlaw's Christmas Book Review

I haven't read anything else by this author or in this series but I found this book somewhere and it ended up on my shelf.  An Outlaw's Christmas (The McKettricks) by Linda Lael Miller was an obvious choice because I love Christmas books.  It was actually two books in one and it was an interesting read.

Celebrate the holidays with this remarkable McKettrick tale by beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author  Linda Lael Miller.  With his wild heart, Sawyer McKettrick isn't ready to settle down on the Triple M family ranch in Arizona. So he heads to Blue River, Texas, to seek a job as marshal. But in a blinding snowstorm, he's injured—and collapses into the arms of a prim and proper lady in calico.

The shirtless, bandaged stranger recuperating in teacher Piper St. James's room behind the schoolhouse says he's a McKettrick, but he looks like an outlaw to her. As they wait out the storm, the handsome loner has Piper remembering long-ago dreams of marriage and motherhood. But for how long is Sawyer willing to call Blue River home? As the gray skies clear, Piper's one holiday wish just might bring two lonely hearts together forever.

I am not really great with the historical books but this was a super cute story that I was immediately interested in.  I could tell that this was part of a series that I hadn't read but it was still easy to jump into the book even though I didn't know the small town of the chracters.  It was great to see Piper St. James who is the local school teacher.  This was back when the teachers lived in the school.  She went outside after the snow storm because she heard noises.  She found an injured man and she was worried that he was trouble but didn't want to leave him to die.  She put him on a quilt and dragged him to the stairs of the school house.  She was working to keep him alive but you have to pick up the book to find out who this stranger is and what happens after he is brought into the school house to recover.  I know that you will love the story too!!
