About the author
Judy Christenberry
256 books70 followersJudy Russell Christenberry was born in Dallas, Texas, USA, where she raised in a family of four children with a stay-at-home mom who was a terrific cook and an excellent teacher, where family tradition was concerned. As a child, Judy was surrounded by animals. Her father raised a few head of cattle to keep meat on the table. At one time or another, there were sheep, Thanksgiving turkeys, ducks and dogs, and there were always chickens.
Judy learned the importance of family at an early age. But, Judith's marriage ended in divorce. Yet, with support from her mother and siblings, she and her two daughters discovered their own definition of family. The family comes in all shapes and flavors. What's important isn't the two parents and the 2.5 children, it's love and support. She raised her children, taught during the day, wrote at night, and pursued her dream.
Judy, hasn't always been a writer, but she's always been a dreamer. As a child, for entertainment while doing chores, she told herself stories-she was always the heroine. However, she didn't start writing until she turned thirty-eight, just one year after her father's unexpected death. After this, she realized life promised no guarantees about how much time you have. Why wait to pursue your dreams? She had begun reading Harlequin Romance novels about ten years earlier, so romance writing came naturally. She signs her novels as Judy Christenberry, Judith Christenberry and Judith Stafford.
Over time, Judy realized two central themes dominating her writing: family and small town/country life. Many of her books have cowboy heroes, partly because she read all Zane Grey's romantic versions of the Old West as a teenager, and partly because her parents grew up on farms. The last element that frequently appears in Judy's stories is a dash of humor, just enough to bring a smile to your face. She believes laughter is good medicine and it definitely makes a six-foot hunk even more attractive!
Now, with her daughters pursuing their own dreams, Judy writes full-time and is wrapped up in her storytelling. She lives each new adventure with the vigor of a young girl, still dreaming up tales while washing dishes. She hopes to entertain her readers as much as she entertains herself!

It was cute. However, Sam's indecisiveness was infuriating.

Loved this story. It was funny and had the right feel for the christmas time read. Of course, its August right now, and I read a Christmas story... Kinda Funny. But I loved this story! I feel in love with the characters Sam and Brady from the first page. Joni came off sorta forced, but I love cowboys so I had to love this story for that element. Oh! And the ending was FAB-U-LOUS!! It was sweet and funny with the Life full of adventure, It was the Perfect ending that left you picturing thier future adventures together. All in All, a great read. On my Christmas Reading List from now on. Amazing.

This is not something I would normally read, but it was in a bag of books a friend dropped off. I needed something with a Christmas theme, and something with a family theme. I think this fit the bill for both.
I actually enjoyed this book quite a bit more than I expected to. It was a quick easy read, which is what I was looking for!(read it in a day) It was not a sappy, mushy, romance with sexual content which is what I always thought the "silhoutte", and "harlequins" were. I would consider reading something else by this author.
