Geeky bartender seeks virile cowboy. Must love gingerbread, ugly sweaters, and making out by the fire.
Peyton
My best friend and I have a pact. Every year, he gets me something I really want for Christmas and well, this year I’d like to have a baby. Except I don’t want it to be just anybody’s baby. I want it to be Ledger’s baby.
I’m not bold enough to tell him this until I get a little bit drunk one night and spill the beans. I thought he’d turn me down but the next morning, I wake to discover that Ledger is considering it.
He has conditions but only one of them makes me gulp: Ledger wants to make our child the old-fashioned way with lots of long, sweaty moments. But will the chemistry that burns between us forever change our friendship?
Ledger
My best friend wants me to breed her. A noble man would tell her no. Good thing no one has ever accused me of being that.
I know this moment with Peyton is exactly what I’ve been waiting for, so I insist on conditions. Mainly that we try making the baby the old-fashioned way. After all, this is my chance to finally convince my best friend that we’re meant to be.

I LOVED THIS STORY SO MUCH. A Christmas Baby for the Cowboy is the third book in the Kringle Christmas Tree Ranch series, and my most anticipated one. Two best friends who have always secretly loved one another finally come together when Peyton drunkenly admits to Ledger that she wants a baby. But not just any baby, his baby. Their love is so special. As two kids who both come from a broken home, they understand each other on a level no one else understands. I felt honored to be let in on their little love story. Featured tropes: friends to lovers, small town, found family.

Argumento:

Peyton
Mi mejor amigo y yo tenemos un pacto.
Todos los años me regala algo que realmente quiero para Navidad y bueno, este año me gustaría tener un bebé.
Excepto que no quiero que sea el bebé de cualquiera. Quiero que sea el bebé de Ledger. No soy lo suficientemente audaz para decirle esto hasta que me emborracho un poco una noche y dejo escapar los frijoles. Pensé que me rechazaría, pero a la mañana siguiente, me despierto y descubro que Ledger lo está considerando. Tiene condiciones, pero solo una de ellas me hace tragar saliva: Ledger quiere hacer que nuestro hijo sea a la antigua con muchos momentos largos y sudorosos. ¿Pero la química que arde entre nosotros cambiará para siempre nuestra amistad?
Ledger
Mi mejor amiga quiere que la embarace.
Un hombre noble le diría que no. Menos mal que nunca nadie me ha acusado de ser eso.
Sé que este momento con Peyton es exactamente lo que he estado esperando, así que insisto en las condiciones. Principalmente que tratamos de hacer al bebé a la antigua.
Después de todo, esta es mi oportunidad de finalmente convencer a mi mejor amiga de que estamos destinados a serlo.
Si estás buscando una novela romántica virgen dual con un héroe de rollo de canela, es hora de conocer a Ledger en A Christmas Baby for the Cowboy.
Mi humilde opinión:
❄️Christmas Baby for the Cowboy es un romance de amigos a amantes ambientado en un pueblo pequeño dulce, divertido, sexy y emotivo.
La historia de amor de Ledger y Payton me pareció tierna, si bien tiene su parte de exageración con el héroe cavernícola y el bebé como regalo de navidad, los protagonistas me conmovieron con su historia personal. Me hizo querer que tuvieran algo bueno juntos al final.
Si hubo algo que me molestó fue que Ledger y Payton perdieron diez años pretendiendo ser solo amigos cuando estaban locamente enamorados del otro! Cómo fue que no hicieron nada antes?!
Dejando eso último de lado, me gustó la química que tenían los protagonistas, la lealtad y comprensión que se tenían mutuamente y la forma en que Ledger adoraba y cuidaba a Payton. El tema sobre el desorden alimenticio fue tocado con delicadeza por parte de la autora. Nunca había leído que un personaje masculino pase por algo así.
La vibra navideña no estuvo a lo grande pero estuvo presente con detalles, me encantaron los temas de los sweaters feos.
We finally get Ledger and Peyton's book and it was really sweet yet really hot! I loved these two together. These two have been in love with each other since they met at 16 but neither were able to confuse their feelings for losing each other. Now, Ledger is willing to anything and everything to finally get his sweet yet sassy Peyton in his arms where she belongs. I loved this book and I can't for Mia's next book.

I have been looking forward to Ledger and Peyton’s story since book one. They are such fantastic characters and are fully deserving of their own story. This book did not disappoint! From start to finish I was smiling and enjoying their story.
Ledger and Peyton have been best friends for a decade, since high school, and both have what they think are unrequited feelings. They both have rough pasts that will break your heart and make you even more thankful that they have each other. Peyton grew up as a foster kid being bounced from home to home before living in her own and finding Ledger. He grew up with a stepmom that caused an eating disorder and spent some time in the foster system before finding a home with the Kringles. When it comes out that Peyton wants a baby, Ledger sees it as both a way to make her happy and a way to finally get his feelings out in the open. The sweet and spice of this story was balanced beautifully along with a fantastic story. I loved how everything played out and the conclusion couldn’t have been more fitting for these two heart warming characters.

Terminando con estas historias cortas, viene el tercer y ultimo hermano: Ledger. Asi como Cassie y Micah, es adoptado y viene de un origen un tanto fuerte donde tuvo y tiene que lidiar con problemas alimentarios y mentales que le hacen ser mas aprehensivo. En los libros pasados se menciona que esta enamorado de su mejor amiga pero aunque todos pueden ver la atraccion entre ellos, los interesados no hacen ningun movimiento por ir por algo mas que amigos. La historia avanza rapida cuando Peyton, la mejor amiga, se encuentra pensando en la posibilidad de tener un hijo con Ledger y buscar asi una familia como la que soño siempre tener. Despues de una borrachera y varios malentendidos a pareja logra avanzar. Mas de lo mismo y se agradece que simplemente sea una historia cliche mas.
Spoiler. Dentro de la pareja protagonista me llamo mucho la atencion el echo de que Ledger haya puesto un localizador en el telefono de Peyton con la escusa de la seguridad de esta. Me parecio un poco inquietante pero bueno, talvez soy solo yo pero cuando un hombre te hace eso no es nada romantico si no una gran bandera roja de advertencia.

Ledger and Peyton were both foster kids meeting in high school, and they had been bestfriends every since. Their friendship soon turned to love, but neither one would ever say or do anything to let the other one in on their secret in fear of losing or hurting their friendship. Until, Ledger began to notice Peyton was being moody, and she refused to talk to him about it. He always watched over her like a hawk while she tended bar each night. Finally, she was unable to it take any longer with him always being so close, and she started drinking a little bit at work. By the end of the night Ledger had to take her home with her tongue being loose enough, giving him courage to seek the relationship he had always wanted. Their friendship had withstood the bond of time as they had practically always been continually together for the past ten years. A beautiful story of coming together and becoming a family.

En cuanto a mi querido Ledger si bien también lo ame y es todo lo que está bien en esta vida como sus hermanos y entiendo que también tuvo muchos problemas en su vida que tenía que resolver antes de poder llegar a estar con mi querida Peyton. Jeasus que pareja de idiotas 10 años siendo mejores amigos y amándose puro perdiendo el tiempo si era tan fácil de arreglar.
Ahora en sus momentos más humildes debo mencionar que ame y me reí mucho con los siguiente...
"-Bien, pero después de una hora, tienes un cálculo renal y Micah tiene apendicitis o algo así. No me importa. Sólo lárguense de mi casa.
Sesenta y tres minutos después....
La puerta trasera se abre y Micah y West se unen a nosotros en el porche. —Solo para avisarte que nos vamos. —¿Ya? —pregunta mamá—. Pero todavía tengo ese nuevo juego de cartas para que lo probemos. —Otra noche. —dice Micah—. Tengo un cálculo renal y apendicitis."
I loved getting to know all the Kringles and this story is so sweet. They both had hard childhoods as foster children. When they found themselves in the same town as teenagers, they became best friends. The only secret they kept from each other is how much they loved each other (well, they also didn’t talk about their pasts, but not because it was a secret, just awful). But now Peyton wants a baby and Ledger sees it has his chance to finally make her more than just his best friend. The only thing I wished happened that didn’t is he never confessed he was a virgin. She did and he was going to but didn’t. And she had been told in high school by a mean girl that they were together. But that’s still a detail we know. All of the books in the series is so sweet and perfect for the holidays.
This book tugged at my heart and made me smile. Two people who really belong in each other’s arms finally get the chance to claim each other for forever. Ledger and Peyton have been best friends for a decade. They are also hopelessly in love with each other. Unfortunately, neither has had the courage to tell the other about their true feelings, for fear of losing the one person that makes life bearable and worth while. Both have suffered trauma in the past and have trouble expressing their feelings and revealing everything about themselves, including those traumatic experiences. Yet, Peyton wish will change everything between them and hopefully give them both everything they have ever wanted….each other and a family if their own.

Ledger and Peyton have a lot in common, they both grew up in the foster system. Ledger found his place with the Kringles, Peyton was on the run. When they met, they were sixteen and became friends and feelings developed, but they kept it to themselves. Ten years later, Ledger and Peyton are closer than ever, but they don't cross the line. That is until Peyton's Christmas wish.
Ledger and Peyton's story is hot and steamy friends to lovers story that has emotional moment that wade heavy on my heart. I love the connection and friendship that they have, their feelings are always simmering under the surface, when they final decide to cross the line, the page ignited.
Great story the was well written and emotional strong.

I absolutely loved A Christmas Baby for the Cowboy: Book 3 of Kringle Christmas Tree Ranch. Ledger and Peyton have been best friends for 10 years. Ledger knows something is off with Peyton and after a bit to much to drink she admits she wants a baby with him. He realizes this is his chance to tell her he loves her and finally make her his wife and give her babies. He just doesn’t want to scare her away. Peyton has loved ledger for 10 years he’s just trying to give her what she wants right? But when he kisses her it’s not like a friend, could he feel the same? Such a sweet and amazing storyline. I just love these stories and characters. I would definitely recommend this book and the series.

Peyton and Ledger have been friends for over 10 years and have been in love with each other all that time. But they haven't confessed their feelings for fear the other doesn't feel the same and could ruin their friendship. This year, Peyton drunkenly confesses to Ledger that she wants a baby and that she wants him to give it to her. Ledger is more than happy to help Peyton with her request, especially if they get to make the baby the traditional way. He also sees this as his chance to make Peyton his and convince her to be with him forever.
This is a friends to lovers romance story. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it.

Ledger was adopted by the Kringles when he was fifteen and met his bestie Peyton a little later in high school. Unknowingly, they have been in love with each other for the last ten years and never acted upon it. Since the Kringles run a Christmas tree farm as well as toys, etc. Ledger is the one who does the tours, he is also an artist and Peyton uses his art for her tattoos. Peyton had being a foster kid harsher than Ledger did. Peyton works as a bartender at the local bar. She wants to buy and turn it into a restaurant. She bakes cookies into a shape that shocks Ledger, but will sell well to women. Lol.
Peyton starts to act funny. Ledger confronts her on it and they finally talk about their feelings. I loved this book. This whole series rocks.

Oh my god these two broke my heart... But in a good way 😍😍 I loved how they were on love with each other for the last 10 years and wouldn't even think about dating others.🥰🥰 Ledger and Peyton are best friends and to shy and hesitant to tell the other one how they feel. Both had a tragic upbringing in the system and therefore they are afraid to loose the most important person in their life when they would not feel the same. Best friends to lovers, sweet, bitter sweet, a bit sad, steamy, romantic and totally safe (double virgins-no others were even on their radar😍😍- heck that's my guilty pleasure❤️❤️) with a beautiful HEA and absolutely no OP drama 😍😍😍😍 This whole series was just fantastic 😍😍😍😍
Book 3 of the Kringle Christmas Tree Ranch. Ledger is the last of his siblings to get his HEA. Ledger has been in love with his best friend Peyton since school. Not wanting to lose her friendship he never told her how he felt and just stood by as her best friend. Peyton hasn’t been able to find her perfect partner but desperately wants a baby. At a moment of weakness she asks Ledger for help thinking he’ll turn her down because surely he doesn’t see her as a girlfriend or mother to his child. This was an emotional story as both characters have pasts that make them think they don’t deserve love or family. They have a connection that is amazing and lots of chemistry that’s always simmering below the surface. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Loved it. I love every single book in this series and was so looking forward to their story. We know Ledger has past trauma but were not sure what the full story was. Peyton has been in love with Ledger for so long but they ended up in the best friends category. Ledger has also been in love with Peyton but was never confident to tell her. Peyton deciding she wants a baby changes everything. These two were so damaged but couldn't see that they healed each other. There was a lot of angst in this one but so worth the ending.

I've been waiting for Ledger and Peyton's book since the beginning. Peyton and Ledger have a pact...they always get each other what they want for Christmas and this year, Peyton wants a baby but is afraid to tell Ledger that she wants his baby. One drunken night leads to Ledger agreeing to help...but the old fashioned way. Will these best friends finally admit their feelings for each other and if so, will it lead to forever or ruin their friendship? Such a great book and I'll be re-reading it because I loved it so much!.

Best friends who are in love with each other but both oblivious to each others feelings. Peyton has longed for a family for as long as she can remember. She’s never had one. Ledger is her best friend and has been in love with her for 10 years. He’s always been there for her and now when she says she wants a baby he finally sees a way to make her his. Making a baby the old fashioned way!!!
I got more emotional than I thought with these two. They both love each other so much but can’t see it! You can’t help but cheer for them!
My favorite! I really love this series and the Kringle brothers... But Ledger is my favourite... So sweet, so devoted and so resilient. Peyton is perfect for him, so strong, so understanding, and so enterprising. I love Mia Brody's stories, the way she presents the characters, the atmosphere that surrounds them. This is a sweet story of friends to lovers, about overcoming difficulties. With unconditional love and super hot scenes.

Peyton has been in love with her best friend Ledger for years, but has been too afraid of ruining their friendship! Only when he asks her what she wants for Christmas this year she admits she wants a baby! Ledger can’t believe it when his beautiful best friend Peyton asks for a baby! It’s his chance to finally show the woman he loves that she is his! Can they find their happily ever after? Another great book in the series!.

This is the third book in the Kringle Christmas Tree Ranch series. You can read it as a standalone but it is connected to the first two books. I loved Ledger and Peyton's story. They've been best friends for ten years and Ledger has been in love with her just as long. Ledger wants to tell Peyton how he feels but he's afraid he'll lose her friendship. They've both had rough childhoods spent in foster care. Ledger was adopted by the Kringles but Peyton has spent most of her life running away. Steamy, friends to lovers.

I loved this story! Ledger and Peyton had both had difficult childhoods. They became friends as teenagers and 10 years on were each other’s everything. Both loved the other but they were too nervous to make a move in case it spoiled their friendship. A little too much to drink and a Christmas wish for Peyton gives Ledger the push he needs to show her they are each other’s forever. Sweet, steamy, emotional romance with amazing chemistry and a fantastic HEA.

"If you’re looking for a dual virgin romance novella with a cinnamon roll hero, it’s time to meet Ledger in A Christmas Baby for the Cowboy." Oh my this line is so cute it has to shared!!! And its true the character's Peyton and Ledger are so adorable together. There meant to be! After Peyton's confession Ledger uses it to get what he wants for Christmas! Peyton! This book 3 of Kringle Christmas Tree Ranch, but it's my favourite to date! A must read!.

Are there anymore Kringle brothers hiding, that we didn’t know about? Because Ledger Kringle cannot be the end of this great series! I’ve loved every single book, but this one knocked my heart sideways. Ledger and Peyton will make you laugh, bring tears to your eyes, and cause you to sizzle, as they navigate and negotiate their way from best friends to forever mates.
Ledger and Peyton are best friends since they were 16, both kids of the foster system but not the same paths there. They both don’t want to ruin their friendship until Peyton decided to tell him she wants a family. Ledger wants to give her everything she wants so why not a family? Why not the natural way? They can’t deny they want each other more than they want their next breath.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. Ledger and Peyton have walked a fine line between friendship and hidden love for too long. They both are very close yet didn't see the love each of them tried to keep buried. I enjoyed their story and how they start off in this new direction. It was short, sweet and had heat but also friendship and family. The Kringles have been such a fun family
Will a whole new world be opened up for these two best friends?
If you love Christmas romance that involves a cowboy & a curvy woman who happen to be best friends then look no further then Peyton & Ledger's story. Will Ledger grant Peyton her Christmas wish whilst showing her that they belong together or will it destroy a beautiful friendship? Worth 5 stars.

Eating disorder and depression are very hard on a person
Ledger and Peyton love and friendship story was emotional, funny and heart felt to read. Both being foster kids and finding their support with each other. Ledger having a had a good home and than losing the mother he loved. She was emotional and malnourished him. Peyton being surrender by law and being lost to the system. Both finally realizing they love each other and starting a family.🤗🤗
