The Cowboy Cookie Challenge: A Twilight, Texas Novel

Written by Lori Wilde

Narrated by Lisa Zimmerman

New York Times bestselling author Lori Wilde returns to Twilight, Texas, with a delicious love story about a sexy cowboy and a love-shy nurse determined to win the Christmas Cookie Bake-off challenge. 

He’s sexy, single, and he can bake!

Roan Sullivan is the answer to Jazzy Walker’s prayers. The doting single dad is also fresh off his win on a popular cooking show and a whiz at campfire cooking, so who better to help her win this year’s annual cookie bake-off? With his help, Jazzy is sure she can finally take first prize right out the grasping hands of Andi Browning, the gal who stole her fiancé right from under her nose.

A widower with a four-year-old daughter, Roan tells himself there’s a million reasons not to help Jazzy. She’s too kind, too optimistic, and could do so much better than hitching up with a curmudgeon like him. But every time she draws near, he can’t help but wonder if he could open his heart and love again.

As the holidays come closer, the magic of Twilight starts to weave its spell…and soon it’s not just the competition that’s heating up, it’s the hot sizzle between Roan and Jazzy.

Reviews for The Cowboy Cookie Challenge

[Andrea Author · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Rancher and celebrity baker Roan agrees to help nurse Jazzy learn to bake campfire cookies for a local competition. Despite an attraction between them, Roan is concerned that his four-year-old daughter will grow too attached to Jazzy. Besides, Jazzy is planning to leave town in a few weeks for a new job. Can she and Roan resist the feelings growing between them?

I loved these characters as well as the intricate plot. Jazzy's relationship with Roan's daughter was adorable. This novel is a sweet, sensual, heartwarming holiday romance.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
