Cowboy, It's Cold Outside is the 2017 addition to Lori Wilde's romance series set in Twilight, Texas (aka Granbury, my current home town), at Christmastime once again.
Romance tropes in the story are italicized: billionaire playboy cowboy performer [country musician] Cash Colton, jilted nearly a year ago and losing his inspiration, comes to Twilight to perform in a benefit for longtime friend Emma (subject of an earlier novel), who runs the local playhouse where ugly duckling tortured heroine Paige MacGregor deals with her psychological scars and works as an usher, one of the three jobs she holds down to make ends meet after her previous boyfriend stole her identity and spent all her savings. There's immediate sparks and they decide to have a fling. But of course there's more than that.
Musical terms and their definitions begin each chapter, and provide a clue as to what will happen next. However, musical similes and metaphors describe the sex, and get to be a little over the top. I do like the cover of this book, though. Snowy Christmas scenes aren't realistic for this part of Texas, but I've seen a lot of wreaths in this area similar to the one pictured.
