EXCELLENT

this is a great book! I can't even describe it to you, but I read 75 pages a day in this book and couldn't put it down!!

He can handle any horse, but can he handle 4 kids?

Toss a passel of kids at a serious bachelor, who dedicates all of his time to his lifetime vocation of keeping the family ranch, and you have a recipe for disaster, and humor. Janet Dailey weaves a great tale with the growth of a man to meet the challenges that are thrown his way, that he never wanted, and never could have anticipated. Watching him more than live up to the responsibility is inspiring. Watching their unorthodox holiday celebration is a scream.

Scrooge Wore Spurs

Lacked a little of the detail usually found in Janet Dailey's books.

Great Kids!

One of Janet Dailey's best! The children are just delightful, especially the twins. This is a true must read.

ranch romance version of A Christmas Carol

Banker Billy Joe Wilder uses a stipulation in the loan agreement with Eben MacCallister that forces the rancher to furbish a quarter of a million dollar payment within sixty days or lose the Star Ranch which has been in his family for over a century. Not long afterward, Maddie Williams visits Eben. Maddie, a wealthy widow and owner of a dude ranch, loved Eben. Two decades ago she thought she would be his wife, but he cherished his ranch more than he did her.Attorney Spencer Davenport arrives with four young children including an infant. The four-year-old twin girls announce that both of their parents are in heaven. Eben's estranged sister named their uncle as their guardian. Seven-year-old Dillon realizes that Eben does not want them even if they share blood. Maddie and the four youngsters begin teaching their Uncle Scrooge how to open his heart to love.SCROOGE WORE SPURS is an engaging modern day ranch twist to the classic Dickens tale with the children serving as surrogates ghosts. The story line will warm cold hearts as Eben learns to laugh and love. However, the theme of the tale leans more towards a second chance at love rather then the single icy cold cowboy learning to love while struggling with nurturing and caring for four youngsters. Though it seems as if Janet Dailey never fully decided which way to take the plot, fans of contemporary ranch romance will appreciate this version of A Christmas Carol.Harriet Klausner
