Status Updates From Lone Star Christmas (McCabe...

He's very upset that she wants to keep him on the DL indefinitely.

I'm just very concerned and off-put by her ex MIL and FIL's determination that she get married and not-so-gently telling her to whom. I mean... WTF?

Then he says he's going to make her his woman and has sex with her against a tree. Despite what this book tells you, that's not really fun.

Callie nodded, a lump in her throat. It had been a long time since she had been looked after by a man.

He's not looking after you. He's trying to take your panties off every chance he gets. Big difference there. HUGE.

"Why do you keep bringing the subject back around to sex?"

Because he's a perverted, disrespectful piece of trash.

"You're going to live your whole life without sex?"

"I still think you're selling yourself short," Maggie told her. "You're still young enough to marry again and have another baby or two."

Who would say this to a widow?

If anyone had accompanied Callie for the mea culpa, Nash would have expected it to be her husband. But then, maybe Mr. Grimes didn't know what his little woman had been up to.

If this guy continues to be such a pig, I don't know what I'm going to do.

"just out of curiosity, ma'am, does your HUSBAND know what you're up to?...Then your husband wouldn't MIND you creating a ruckus?"...

"No."...

Which meant what? he wondered. Her husband was used to her temperamental ways? Or was just so weak he had no say?... Nash knew one thing, however. If she were HIS woman he wouldn't want her out here, stirring up trouble with a group of cattle and horse wranglers temp
