Capturing Christmas (Rodeo Romance #3)
by Shanna Hatfield 

My Review
This is one author that put the twist in to twist with this mind blowing twist you won't see coming. You have never seen a storm like the one Celia is about to lay on one Kash Kressley. Fist fly along with knees as she gives him a taste of his own medicine. Kash doesn't know what hit him as tempters fly with one crazy Redhead.

There is no doubt that Celia got Kash attention from the first moment he laid eyes on her. That red hair sure does hide one tempter under it one minute she is hot and the next she is cold. She has him all tied up in knots just what he doesn't need with his world blow up with family issues.

Celia only wants to be the top photograph which is hard when you live in a man's world. When Kash horses almost run her down and he saves the day he got her attention. Things seem to be going great the attraction is strong until he man hands her then he gets a taste of her tempter which leaves him reeling. Just when things couldn't get crazier Kash goes and puts his foot in his mouth and Celia is off again with tempter flying.

I loved Kash father he is a sweetheart I really hope as some point he gets a happy ever after. With the life he lived raising his sons and his wife walking out on him I sure hope he can find a lady to love. Kash brother well now he is something else. He isn't happy working in the family business and loves to cause trouble. He is one character I would love to read his story I do believe there is one women that is about to set him on his ears.

The author gives you a page turner as she brings you history from time long ago. I really enjoyed reading it. You can tell she did her research well. I loved the Christmas decoration that Celia made to fix the house up. If you get a chance you might want to check out Ms. Hatfields pinterest board that snowman is something else. You learn about the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund which help those cowboys hurt during a rodeo. I had no idea there was such a foundation. She got my attention with the recipe Celia made that had those cowboys hooked on which to my delight she gives the recipe at the end of the book. I can't wait to try the recipe for Nut Goodie Bars I am sure it will be a hit in my home. 

This author gives you all the above along with a well written story where two people just can't seem to get it together. There are misunderstandings, pain as these two work out issues of love. She gives you a nice clean read that at times toes the link filled with passion. You get to see past characters that you have come to love seeing how their lives have changed. This is just a delightful read with wonderful characters. I loved Celia as shows these men a thing to two. The beginning has me laughing up a storm as she puts one cowboy in his place which will make you laugh. There was a big shocker that has you going OH MY what a mess this is going to be. From the rodeo clown (who I hope gets his own story someday) to the cowboys teasing and all that is in between you are going to fall in love with this story and it wonderful characters. This author had me hooked from page one all the way to the end which leaves you wondering if these two will ever get it together. It does seem as soon as one foot is taken out of the mouth another goes in. What a fun read with so many mishaps and crazy people who will keep you laughing. For me this was another winner Ms. Hatfield sure out did herself on this one.

Book Description

Sometimes love arrives softly - But it storms in like the blizzard of the century for one hunky cowboy

Life is hectic on a good day for rodeo stock contractor Kash Kressley. Between dodging flying hooves and babying cranky bulls, he barely has time to sleep. The last thing Kash needs is the entanglement of a sweet romance, especially with a woman as full of fire and sass as Celia McGraw.

Confident and spirited rodeo photographer Celia McGraw is determined to capture the best images possible. Fearless, she’s the last person to back down from a challenge, even when it puts her in danger. However, her biggest risk isn’t found in the rodeo arena, but in the way her heart responds to one incredibly handsome stock contractor.

Will Kash and Celia capture the spirit of Christmas and each other’s hearts?

Rodeo Romance Series The Christmas Cowboy (Book 1) - Saddle bronc rider Tate Morgan can ride the wildest horse on the circuit, but he has no idea how to handle feisty Kenzie Beckett. Wrestlin' Christmas (Book 2) - Shanghaied by his sister and best friend, former steer wrestler Cort McGraw ends up on a run-down ranch with a beguiling widow and her silent son. Capturing Christmas - Cranky bulls, flying hooves and miles on the road keep rodeo stock contractor Kash Kressley hopping. Then he meets fiery Celia McGraw, and life will never be the same. ˃˃˃ Excerpt:

Celia experienced the most unreasonable urge to run her fingers along the stubbly expanse of his cheeks, down his square jaw, and over his strong chin. Mesmerized by his full bottom lip, she inhaled a deep breath and nearly choked.

The very scent of him hinted at a lethal combination of freshly fallen snow, a warm winter fire, and sweet seduction rolled into one incredibly enticing package.
