Synopsis (Goodreads):
This cowboy has made a list—checked it twice—and she’s about to find out exactly how right they are for each other.

Cowboy Alex Thorne was a pain in quiet Yvette Wright’s side for years, but when he suddenly left Heart Falls, she missed his smart mouth and sexy smile. Now he’s back with a Christmas gift she can’t resist. A homemade advent calendar fashioned from an antique cabinet, each locked drawer full of teasing reasons why they belong together.

It took far too long for Alex to realize why he’d relentlessly poked and teased his favourite Heart Falls veterinarian, but he’s determined to make up for lost time now that he knows Yvette is the only one for him. He’ll need to convince her that in spite of their differences, they’re not headed into a holiday fling.

Christmas magic will need to be extra shiny and bright this year for these not-quite-enemies to become lovers for a lifetime—and a united force against anyone, or anything, that would tear them apart.
Thoughts on A Cowboy's Christmas List: Holiday fun in Heart Falls! Alex, the cowboy who has been butting heads and pestering the sweet veterinarian for the past two years, is back in town and he's determined to show Yvette a different side of himself. he has his work cut out for him because his teasing wasn't taken as lightly as he meant it thanks to Yvette's parent's treatment of her and the years of baggage they've left her with.

Which isn't to say Alex is waging a losing battle. Yvette is aware of her issues and working on them. It's just that Alex's previous actions (that relentless teasing) has left a bit of a mark. So first, Alex has to convince her to have an open mind about them as a couple. Then he has to work on showing her how well they fit together.

He does all this with an antique desk he's turned into a sweet, 24-days-of-gift-giving present. He uses his 24 days to show Yvette how thoughtful and kind he can be. She takes those 24 days as a chance to shed the weight of the past and really see the man who's planned all this out for her.

A little heat, a lot of steam, friends and family, one grouchy old-timer, and a heaping dose of holiday magic. *thumbs up*
