Dani is a professor, so an affair with a tenured professor wasn't a good idea, but the widower father Adrian was so compatible and swoon-worthy she succumbed to his charms. Yet Adrian always claimed to be protecting his daughter and won't commit to Dani. Then Dani found she's pregnant. She was the woman of the house raising her siblings after death of her mother. Is she ready to be a mother... esp. with the possibility that her baby may be suffering from Down's syndrome? And what about attention from her neighbor Elliot, who always wanted her, but it never seems to be the right time?
Nicely handled unrequited love with betrayal, aka A secretly loves B, but B is involved with C... Elliot is one of the nicest guys around, and there's also a bit of "everyone but you" trope going on. Nice mix. It's just that you kinda feel that Dani is just too... weak. 4/5

GRR Reviews A Cowgirl's Christmas by C J Carmichael
A Cowgirl's Christmas is an unexpected romance with a good twist on "weird will" that made a lot more sense than those "you have to marry to inherit" ones.
Callan Carrigan has always been at her father's side, running the Circle C ranch, after the death of their mother, and even after her sisters all moved away to start their own families. So it was no surprise that when her father died on the ranch of a heart attack, she was there as well. But she was totally shocked when the will was read... the ranch itself was left to a cousin, Court McAllister, and the bombshells kept coming. Her father had been sterile... and he left the ranch to the closest blood relative... and Callan ain't blood. Court knew the situation wasn't fair to Callan, and he offered her a compromise... stay on for a year, and he'll give her 50% of the ranch. And Callan decided to stay, as she can't imagine what she'll do without it. But can she stay past Christmas when she realized she likes Court?
This happens in Montana Winter, and it's another crazy will, even though this one made a LOT better explanation than others. The rest is basically "enemies to lovers".
Category: Western (contemporary)
Primary Plot: Woman found the family she grew up in... wasn't really hers, and "her" ranch now belongs to a cousin... whom... she is attracted to, but can't stand...
Tropes: sudden family, weird will, enemies to lovers, ranch, forced proximity
Overall Rating: 4/5
