"Mistletoe Cowboy" is the story of Katy and Parker.

A sweet holiday romance between a single mother and a horse rancher. I have to be honest, I was a bit confused about what was happening and had to reread a few things to times to get a gist of what was happening. Short and snoozy.

Katy leaves the East Coast to return to her grandmother's ranch and raise her daughter. She and her daughter, Teddie catch the eye of the local horse whisperer when they take in a rescued horse. Misunderstandings crop up when the former owner of the horse wants him back and Katy calls the lawyer that settled her husband's estate. Her husband had passed away six months ago and that's when Katy decided to make a change. Falling in love with the horse whisperer next door wasn't in her plans but fate had other ideas.

This was a sweet story about a horse, a little girl, and how they brought a family to the horse whisperer who wanted one. I immediately d Teddie, she sometimes seemed an old soul in a young body. Her mom made mistakes but what parent is perfect. She made up for them though. Parker wasn't Ms. Palmer's typical male character. He wasn't mean to the heroine, at least not in previous novels. It was refreshing in that way. I Ms. Palmer's books and this one was no exception. 1 Deb223

I enjoyed this short story very much, but it felt too hurried in the end. Parker and Katy are very much interested in becoming more than friends, but take it slowly, until Katy decides to take the word of her sleezy lawyer and have Teddy's horse put to death. Katy realizes that she made a terrible mistake with her decision when she has alienated both Teddy and Parker. She turns things around and supports Teddy, so Parker and Katy make up and decide to marry and have another child, in one short conversation. It seems to me that if they wanted to take things slowly, that decision wouldn't have come about in a make-up discussion. I think that the author rushed this one through in the end. I am disappointed after having read another of her books and loving it so much, to have followed it up with a new one this that is so rushed.This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.Show full review1 Laura1,290

DNF at 5 percent.

At three pages in, I felt I was drowning in exposition. Skimming through to page 10, I finally found the first bit of dialogue. TEN PAGES of nothing but third-person POV background info about the hero: his personal history, his family relationships, his professional experience, his s and diss. So. Much. Exposition.christmas cowboy-farmer-rancher1 Mary Kirkland632 29

After her husband dies, Katy and her young daughter move back to her grandmother's ranch which is in need of some repairs. But Katy knows that they are safe there and they need a new start. Teddie is her 11 year old daughter who has adopted an abused horse after the owner was arrested for the abuse. Teddie loves the horse but doesn't know much about them. When the horse gets out, Teddie runs after it and that's when she meets Parker. Parker is a ranch hand and horse trainer for a nearby ranch and he's good friends with the wealthy ranch owner.

Parker is talking with Teddie when her mom finds her and they all talk about the horse. Parker and Katy meet for the first time and Parker decides to help Katy out around her ranch and with the horse, and training Teddie in what to do with it. Parker and Katy spend more time together and even though both of them are slow to give in to what they feel because of past hurts in both of their lives, they do get closer.

Of course there's a misunderstanding that comes between them because they don't have great communication skills and don't talk. So they have to find a way to work that out. The one problem I had with this book was that Teddie acted much more mature than a 11 year old would.

I've been reading this series for such a long time but somehow missed this one. I know the wealthy ranch owner Parker works for and read he and his wife's story a while back. After reading the books in this series for so long, you feel you know everyone and how they're going to react at times.

I always know what author to go to when I want a feel good romance. I enjoyed this story.

I'm pretty shocked that my low rating is the minority. So many issues with not only the writing but ridiculous, unrelatable characters mixed with racism. Katy seriously asked Parker which parent (of his) was white? She seriously asked him that after knowing him fir five minutes. I pushed through all the prose and jumping from every single character's perspective. It was confusing and made things much more complicated that they needed to be. That filler I wouldn't expect from a prolific author. Then we get the waxing poetic of Elon Musk GAG and Katy losing her mind and siding with the guy that just forced kissed her, hates her daughter and is a Narcissitic prick! Then her weakass apology was "I'm sorry I know I was wrong". Could not finish at that point. Marcia1,759 28

Back to Benton Colorado and Parker's story. He is a half Crow, horse whisperer and an astrophysicist . He has appeared in several other Benton stories. He had loved and lost his fiancee, when she died, with their unborn child while he was in the military. He finally meets a woman that he could see future with, Katy and her adorable daughter Teddie. She recently lost her husband who was a military doctor, and moved to the home that her husband had inherited. So two people get a second chance. this is a nice clean cowboy story from Diana Palmer. selena1 review

Short and snoozy, but with a lot of repeats. I get annoyed by it but, I will just skip those paragraph sometimes I feel writers are now just rewriting to fill pages. Don't get me wrong, this book was very easy to read and it will keep you reading to the next page. She is one of my favorite authors. I believe I have read this book twice now. So, that tells you it's an interesting book. It doesn't go into details about sex all these other romance novels thing they need to. It keeps it private with suggestions of what they might be up. Great for a teenager that enjoys romantic books. sweet-book-to-read Marlene 1,255 10 Read

Teddie had her very own horse!

Katy was a war widow with a daughter to raise. It was a comfort to move back to her grandmother's ranch. The home was worn and in need of repair and a family. Here in this place was the vast memories of safety and happiness. With a rescued horse, Parker the local horse trainer, and a job teaching, Katy now felt at home with a future. Loved the book, enjoyed the writing and especially felt the caring of animals. Our Public2

Two things REALLY bothered me about this book:

#1 This book has NOTHING to do about Christmas! I'm assuming the book never sold so at the VERY end of the book they added on a reference to kissing under the mistletoe so it could be sold as a holiday book. The only reason I read the book was its listing as a Christmas book.
#2 The commercial for Elon Musk (who I detest) in the middle of the book 1 Rhonda Campbell565 1 follower

Great story

Great story where a horse brings the greatest of gifts. Always love a hot, strong cowboy who stands his ground. Being Native American makes him so much better. Taking up for an abused animal and a child makes him a hero to me but I wouldn't expect anything else from a soldier. Love the growth Katy shows. Elizabeth4,739 104

Christmas Joy

Very good short story about the meaning and joy of being a family at that time of year when love should abound. Small town characters who know and support each other. It might seem to be too simple the way things worked out. But love is often that simple. Anita1 review
