2.0 out of 5 stars just an ok read for me - great storyline and purpose, however very stressful to read. 21 Dec 2005
By Donna K. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
It's refreshing to read romance novels that feature protagonists in their 40's! This book had an excellent storyline about a man hardened by his life's circumstances and negative relationship dynamics, whose problems keep snowballing until they threaten to bury him. It takes four innocent children and a patient and forgiving woman to teach him about what's really important in life - family and love, not financial success. A wonderful lesson for the holiday season!

However, this was definitely NOT frilly, light and entertaining reading. The dialogue was almost 100% verbal sparring and arguing. The tension-level in the house was wound so tightly, with way too much counter-productive hostility, resentment, rebelliousness, bitterness and stubborness. I was quite exhausted and mentally drained reading it - it's borderline migraine-inducing! The way Eban reacted to the children, especially Dillon, was downright abusive. Although I applaud the purpose of the story, this was definitely not an enjoyable, relaxing, escapist, romantic or humorous book to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars ranch romance version of A Christmas Carol 9 Oct 2002
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Banker Billy Joe Wilder uses a stipulation in the loan agreement with Eben MacCallister that forces the rancher to furbish a quarter of a million dollar payment within sixty days or lose the Star Ranch which has been in his family for over a century. Not long afterward, Maddie Williams visits Eben. Maddie, a wealthy widow and owner of a dude ranch, loved Eben. Two decades ago she thought she would be his wife, but he cherished his ranch more than he did her.

Attorney Spencer Davenport arrives with four young children including an infant. The four-year-old twin girls announce that both of their parents are in heaven. Eben's estranged sister named their uncle as their guardian. Seven-year-old Dillon realizes that Eben does not want them even if they share blood. Maddie and the four youngsters begin teaching their Uncle Scrooge how to open his heart to love.

SCROOGE WORE SPURS is an engaging modern day ranch twist to the classic Dickens tale with the children serving as surrogates ghosts. The story line will warm cold hearts as Eben learns to laugh and love. However, the theme of the tale leans more towards a second chance at love rather then the single icy cold cowboy learning to love while struggling with nurturing and caring for four youngsters. Though it seems as if Janet Dailey never fully decided which way to take the plot, fans of contemporary ranch romance will appreciate this version of A Christmas Carol.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth Reading 1 April 2010
By S. White - Published on Amazon.com
Four Christmas Angels definitely help to bring out the best in Eben. He's a bit rough around the edges, but don't give up on him. Maggie is a delightfully strong character. She doesn't let Eben get away with anything. There are plenty of laughs, some tears, some growing pains, etc. Generally a very enjoyable book.
