Book Review: Cowboy Firefighter Christmas Kiss by Kim Redford

cowboy firefighter christmas kiss reviewA little bit of romance, a little bit of mystery and a big Christmas miracle are the triumvirate that make up “Cowboy Firefighter Christmas Kiss.” Though it’s a cowboy romance at its core, the whodunit and Christmas miracle subplots make this book a standout.

Cowboy Firefighter Christmas Kiss” follows titular character Slade Steel who after retiring from the rodeo circuit went back to his ranching roots. He also moonlights as a pastry chef, if that is the what you call a cowboy who found his love for making award winning pies and cookies.

Enter Ivy Bryant, a web designer from Houston who had to take over the historic honky tonk in Wildcat Bluff when her sister and co-owner of the Wildcat Bluff Dance Hall and cabins landed a contract as a singer in a cruise line.

To Slade, it was love at first sight; and perhaps, to Ivy also, since the chemistry between them can combust anytime. But, Ivy was slow in recognizing that fact so she unknowingly made a huge misstep.

Though Slade was sure of his feelings, his new ranch Steel Trap II needed a lot of his attention especially with cattle rustlers operating in the area. And of course, there was his Chuckwagon where he sold his pastries.

In between falling in love, running a ranch and Christmas just around the corner, our romantic hero had his hands full. So, the question is, when will Slade find time to make Ivy believe that they are in love.

Cowboy Firefighter Christmas Kiss” is Rated M for Mature due to sexual content and some violence.

The firefighting cowboys of Wildcat Bluffs take Christmas VERY seriously…

When Ivy Bryant arrives in town to run the historic honkytonk, she finds herself immersed in traditions that can’t be bucked. Luckily, cowboy firefighter Slade Steele has an idea to increase both the honkytonk’s income, and his own. It’s an offer Ivy couldn’t refuse, even if the passion between them wasn’t already reaching the boiling point.

Ivy and Slade’s love story is legendary—when you add in arsonist cattle rustlers, a runaway Angus bull, and a chili recipe that includes liquor AND chocolate, Wildcat Bluffs will be celebrating a cowboy Christmas unlike any other.
