A review by bryanfarmer
The Christmas Room by Catherine Anderson

2.0

I have been so excited to write this review! It started out so good. I was on board with the story...and then...whoa. Not sure what the hell happened. Lots of screwed-up toxic masculinity (the phrase "man-to-man" was said often, and usually after some sort of asshole behavior like face punching), stupid woman-in-peril stuff (a bull almost killed her! Her wedding dress didn't fit right and she turned into a Bridezilla!), people being total assholes to each other (She had cancer and kept it a secret...shun her!), and cowboys who don't like curse words (these guys punch each other, but gasp at the f-word, and never once can they even say the word "hell" in front of a lady!). In all honesty, I almost laughed my ass off through this entire book and how out-of-control is was. Two stars for the first half. Zero stars for the last half.
