Synopsis:
A promise made is a promise he’ll keep.
Even if it costs him the woman he loves. . .
Professional bareback rider Gage Taggart can almost taste the world championship title he’s spent all year pursuing. When an unexpected injury sidelines him, he heads to his best friend Trevor’s home to recuperate. Little by little, he finds himself completely smitten with Trevor’s beautiful sister. But he’s up against a formidable opponent: brotherly concern. Reluctantly, Gage vows to leave Tally alone to keep from breaking her heart when he heads back out on the road.
Tally King thrives on her work as a nurse, until she ends up caring for her injured brother and his best friend on the family ranch. Between the two stubborn men determined to prove how tough they and the unpredictable antics of her loony aunt Marvella, Tally feels like her life is spiraling out of control. Or maybe it’s due to falling head over heels in love with Gage despite concerns he’ll leave her heart in broken pieces.
An uplifting, sweet romance full of humor and hope, Keeping Christmas follows an unlikely couple as they discover the magic of Christmas and the wonder of true love.

Shanna Hatfield has written a fun romance, filled with the flavors of the West.
As a fan of the “brother’s best friend” stories, I was excited to see the author had chosen to use this in Keeping Christmas.
Trevor, in perfect big brother fashion, didn’t trust his best friend, Gabe, to not break his sister’s heart. So he made him promise to leave her alone. Yeah right. Poor Gabe didn’t realize what a challenge he had before him to not fall in love with the kind and beautiful, yet insecure, Tally. Their burgeoning romance was unexpected by both of them.
Aunt Mavie was such a fun character and added an element of humor that helped round out the story. The great love Trevor, Tally, and Gabe had for her and the kindness they showed her continually was quite touching.
I enjoyed seeing characters from other Rodeo Romance stories make appearances here. And I especially appreciated the way the author didn’t try to re-tell their stories. As with other secondary characters, if you knew their backstories, the knowing enhanced this book but if not, it didn’t detract from it.
The Rodeo Romance series tends to have a little more emphasis on physical attraction than other series written by Shanna Hatfield and has more intense kissing. Fret not! They remain clean, appropriate, and enjoyable.
If you enjoy cowboys, big brothers, romance and Christmas, give Keeping Christmas a try!
