Carson Scott was heart broken at 18 when Annie Prudhomme left Marietta, Montana. Fifteen years later he's shocked to see her working as a waitress at the local diner. Seeing her brings back all the feelings he had for her.Annie is back in her hometown even though she swore she would never go back. She didn't want to go back, but she didn't have any other place to go after her marriage ended.  She divorced her husband when he was convicted of running a Ponzi scheme on the elderly. He was arrested and everything she has was taken by the FBI to be sold so the money could pay back some of the funds her husband conned people out of. All she owns is her family ranch in Montana so she moves there. She gets a job in a local diner and sees Carson Scott who was her first love. Carson is now a widower with a young son, Evan.I liked the characters in A Cowboy for Christmas.  Annie was a bit hard to like at first because she seemed selfish running off without thinking about how it would affect anyone else.  And how could she leave Carson?  Carson is a kind, patient man who still loves Annie but gives her the time and space she needs to figure out if she wants to stay and be with him. Being an attractive cowboy just made him perfect in my opinion. He is just trying to live his life and raise his son alone after the death of his wife.  Annie was really trying to start her life over but never planned on staying in Marietta. She gets her life together and realizes that dreams can change, so she thinks that maybe she doesn't need to move on.I wanted to read a Christmas romance with a cowboy.  A Cowboy for Christmas was exactly what I was looking for.I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a holiday romance.
