Christmas in Cowboy Country
by Janet Dailey
2014
Ski instructor Annie Bennett returns to her family's Colorado ranch for the holidays and meets Marshall Stone, a rugged surveyor with his own secrets. Snowy isolation and family pressure turn their attraction into something serious.
Series background & context
The Bennetts series is a three-book holiday set that follows a Colorado ranch family through different corners of Christmas. The connective tissue is the Bennett siblings and the way family obligations keep pulling them back together.
A Cowboy Under My Christmas Tree sends a ranch hand to New York City, where the romance has big-city sparkle but still carries that Colorado practicality. Merry Christmas, Cowboy shifts closer to home with a Denver setting and a couple trying to do good while the season ramps up.
Christmas in Cowboy Country brings the story back into the mountains, with snow, wide-open space, and a romance that grows out of daily work and shared stubbornness. The books share a warm, slightly old-school holiday feel, more hot cocoa than glitter.
It is a family series first, and a romance series second.
You can read them as standalones, but in order they give you a better sense of the Bennett family dynamic, the jokes, the support, and the way one sibling's choices ripple into the next book.
Pick this series if you like Christmas romances that mix travel, family tradition, and a grounded happily-ever-after.
