Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
Bestseller Dailey (Searching for Santa) pens a throwback western romance for her annual holiday offering. During a photo shoot on a Texas ranch, fashion model Diana Palmer is so entranced by sexy cowboy Lije Masters that within days she decides to give up her life and career to marry him. The whirlwind love affair is slowed by long cerebral conversations about their life histories, making supposedly cautious Diana's sudden decision seem ditzy and reducing the reader's sympathy for her difficult transition from career girl to rancher housewife. When Lije catches Diana with another man, Lije's stereotypical Native American sidekick, Jim Two Pony, brings words of wisdom that persuade the couple to reconcile. The predictable Christmastime conclusion is cute, but modern readers will find Dailey's very old-fashioned tinsel a little tarnished. (Oct.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

Review by Library Journal Review
A Dallas-bred model and a rodeo cowboy from New Mexico have classic but serious issues to work out after their hasty marriage in a holiday-tinged rewrite of Dailey's Land of Enchantment, first published in 1976 as part of her Americana series. In recent years, Dailey has updated a number of titles in this series for the holiday market. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
