Christmas Tree Ranch #1, This was a good getting into the Christmas spirit book. The romance was a little forced. I guess it was love at first sight because the attraction was pretty much right off the back and they didn't actually spend a lot time together get to know one another before declaring their love for each other and that just didn't work for me. I have no problem with instalove but I need something to back it up and this didn't have enough of that. The romance part of this was a miss for me everything else about this book I loved. Travis Morgan was an Oklahoma State Trooper before a stupid misunderstanding lead to a death and he spent the last three years in prison. Branding Iron, Texas is his start over, a beaten up ranch he inherited from his mother's side is all he has, well that and his father who lives in town but their non-existent relationship doesn't count. Travis would be happy if he just stayed alone but before he knows it he's agreed to take care of two giant horses and old dog and a handcrafted wooden sleigh. Desperate in need of help now because he has no idea how to take care of horses he calls his best friend, Conner, which was excellent timing because Conner needed the work. Now the guys just need a way to earn money to keep the ranch running, the ranch has a surprise in store for them.
Meanwhile, the new mayor Maggie Delaney is trying her best to be the kind of mayor her father was before her but then the man who played Santa moves away and she has no one to replace him in the Christmas parade. The one man who would be perfect for the job won't do it because the son who hates him is in possession of the horses and sleigh. Maggie doesn't give up easy she's got a plan. For Travis the troubles are only just beginning. Overall it was a good read. I could see it as a Hallmark movie.
