Somebody Like Santa is the fifth book in The Christmas Tree Ranch series. To be honest, I actually didn't realize that it was part of a series until I started to write this review... though looking back there were a few hints that suggested perhaps some side characters may have been introduced previously. That said, I definitely think this read just fine as a standalone.
If you'd have asked me even just a few short months ago if I enjoyed cowboy romances, I likely would have said no--- or not too much anyway. The more I read of them though, the more I find myself enjoying them. Especially when they are as well written as this one was. In many ways, this was a feel good Christmas story--- similar to what you'd see on a Hallmark movie, and just the type of story I absolutely adore. However, it did also broach some more difficult subjects (such as domestic violence) and had a bit of suspense to the story as well. That worked together to create a story that I truly enjoyed and wanted more of.
There was some language in the story, but not overwhelmingly so. While I personally prefer no language at all in a book, I also found I was still able to enjoy this story despite it.
Overall, this was a good holiday read and one that I would recommend to fans of contemporary romance.
