And a senator with his very ill young daughter My reactionIf that description sounds melodramatic well that s because the story is melodramatic I picked this up strictly based on the cover because I needed to complete a challenge I should have read the plot description first and gone looking for a different book. Book A Rocky Mountain christmas The characters were all stereotypes and the message was heavy handed I don t think I m spoiling much by saying that the bad guys get what s coming to them and the good guys win It wouldn t be a Western romantic Christmas story otherwise I couldn t help but think of David Baldacci s The Christmas Train not a western.

And general no good nicks are challenged by the white hats The setting is a train ride through the Colorado Rockies just before Christmas in a time before the snow was tamed and avalanches were a real danger It is a classic feel good story that will leave you hoping for goodness and worrying about the outcome William W Johnstone These Christmas novellas are utterly ridiculous But then most Holiday stories are kind of ridiculous And I find these super charming This one took a long time to get all the different storylines together But I really enjoyed the difficult situation and the miraculous resolution It was also lovely how people with different talents all work together William W Johnstone I don t read very many westerns.
A Rocky Mountain Christmas Science fiction
This is the first I have read in this Christmas series and am looking forward to reading the next one in my que Christmas set in the Wild West where the law was fast and loose I loved the characters and the Christmas spirit they held Not your typical cozy so beware that some of the events are brutal William W Johnstone Title A Rocky Mountain ChristmasAuthor William W Johnstone J A Johnstone Pages 336Year 2012Publisher KensingtonMy rating is 5 out of 5 stars A Rocky Mountain Christmas is the latest in Johnstone s writing repertoire taking place during the Christmas holidays Some of the characters from the previous book A Lone Star Christmas continue to develop in this story Here the story enlarges to include a corrupt judge and a rancher accused of murder being taken on a train to go to jail along with another convict Rebecca is now an older woman Matt and Jenny are on the same train that is stranded at the top of a mountain pass due to an avalanche begun by a single gunshot Who made the mistake of not thinking before firing their weapon during a heavy snowstorm The use of flashback makes the novel really intriguing I was so absorbed in the adventure I forgot about the flashback until the very end of the book There are many stories going on at the same time but not where it would make things too hard to follow for a reader In fact the strands added the deeper the plot There are a few curse words sprinkled over the course of the story but not so much as to distract the reader or become the focus of the story Sometimes when I read books it seems like the author writes it with the intent to shock the reader by using foul language One thing I appreciate about Johnstone s novels is that isn t the case at all I believe storytellers can hone their art to such a fine point that they would actually be able to tell an excellent tale and not use any foul language The Seeking with all Yur Heart blog exists for two main reasons First it exists to help readers locate excellent novels that truly entertain without the extra stuff added Second it exists to encourage authors in writing tales that entertain readers without the use of negative modern day verbiage or sexual content in the book William W Johnstone My first and probably last book by Mr Johnstone This is the stuff that Hallmark specials are made of It was sweet and thank god it was short I wasn t expecting Lonesome Dove Christmas style so I wasn t that disappointed but I was hoping for just a little less cheese and sap Oh well I read it for my Xmas challenge PBT Challenge Tis the season William W Johnstone From the Book Jacket Three days before Christmas Matt Jensen is traveling the Denver and Pacific railway when an avalanche slams down onto the train trapping it But it wasn t an act of nature that caused the accident it was a gang of outlaws attempting to rescue their leaderwho is being taken to Red Cliff to be hanged As Smoke Jensen and Duff MacCallister frantically try to make their way to the scene Matt struggles to save the survivors among them a beautiful young woman with a dark past a merchant seaman turned rancher but a contemporary romance with mystery also featuring an avalanche Baldacci s work was first published in 2001 eleven years before this effort Hmmmm. PDF A Rocky Mountain christmas At least it was a fast read William W Johnstone The description of this book sounds great villains cause an avalanche to free their leader from a train cool It takes a long time to get to this part of the book nearly halfway at which part it all becomes really tense spoiler alert However this incredibly tense situation ends up being resolved not by the heroic acts of the good characters in the book but by acts of God It s one thing to believe that a good outcome was a result of God s will and another to have a messenger of God in the form of a dead character called Preacher repeatedly and mystically clearing paths in deep snow so that the saviors can get to the people trapped on the train So even though we have two awesome cowboys on the train they re not the ones who stops the evil cowboys There s no final confrontation between them I feel that Johnstone missed a great opportunity here to show good triumph over evil William W Johnstone Three days before Christmas Matt Jensen is traveling the Denver and Pacific railway when an avalanche slams down onto the train trapping it in desolate Trout Creek Pass But it wasnt an act of nature that caused the accident it was a gang of outlaws attempting to rescue their leader who is being taken to Red Cliff to be hanged As Smoke Jensen and Duff MacCallister frantically try to make their way to the scene Matt struggles to save the survivors among them a beautiful young woman with a dark past a merchant seaman turned rancher and a senator with his very ill young daughter Starving under a bitter driving snow in the brutal unforgiving Rocky Mountains and surrounded by armed and desperate outlaws Matt still dreams of making it home for Christmas But unless fate lends a hand nobody will A Rocky Mountain Christmas Christmas 2 Rating 3.
