review 1: SUMMARY: Celebrate the holidays with this remarkable McKettrick tale by beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller With his wild heart, Sawyer McKettrick isn't ready to settle down on the Triple M family ranch in Arizona. So he heads to Blue River, Texas, to seek a job as marshal. But in a blinding snowstorm, he's injured—and collapses into the arms of a prim and proper lady in calico. The shirtless, bandaged stranger recuperating in teacher Piper St. James's room behind the schoolhouse says he's a McKettrick, but he looks like an outlaw to her. As they wait out the storm, the handsome loner has Piper remembering long-ago dreams of marriage and motherhood. But for how long is Sawyer willing to call Blue River home? As the gray skies clear, Piper's o... morene holiday wish just might bring two lonely hearts together forever.REVIEW: The first thing I have to note is this is a secular read. I enjoyed the story line but there were several intimate scenes with IMHO too much info which I basically skipped over. Piper is a feisty, spirited woman for the time period in which the story takes place and isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes in. Sawyer was the typical tall, dark and handsome cowboy and plays his role to the hilt.Christmas setting but not much emphasis on what Christmas is truly about. FAVORITE QUOTES: "Christmas happens in the heart...especially the heart of a child."
review 2: In An Outlaw's Christmas, Linda Lael Miller brought two people together during the holiday season in the early 1900s. Piper St. James is a schoolmarm in Blue River, Texas, when Marshal Sawyer McKettrick landed injured with a gunshot wound to his arm in her schoolhouse. During the winter, they've gotten together to know each other right before Christmas. There's a shooter after Sawyer, while Piper tried not to prevent scandal in the small town. To save her reputation, they marry and later discover they were meant for each other and fall in love. What a splendid little tale. less

It had good parts but overall it seemed to be lacking something.

Another McKettrick story. A quick read, maybe too quick.
