Overview

Tis the season for a little white lie…

Christmas has always been single mom Holly Goodwin Moore’s favorite time of year. The twinkly lights on the tree, the cookies in the oven, the snow on the ground. But she’s just not feeling it this year. The wedding in her ex’s family is almost here, her daughter, Lydia, is bursting at the seams to be a flower girl…and Holly couldn’t be dreading it more. She told a little white lie about having a new boyfriend as her plus-one, hoping to save face. She needs a date for the wedding…and she needs it now.

Ryan Caldwell wants to be free this holiday season. So even he isn’t sure how he landed in Shelter Springs, looking after his niece, Audrey, with his estranged father down the road. But when he meets Holly, she makes him want to belong for the very first time. So they make a deal: he’ll be her date if she’ll help him give Audrey a true Christmas to remember while her mom is away.

Review

Ryan is a naval helicopter pilot living in San Diego. He has been on desk duty because of an injury. So, when his sister called him and said she needs help, he heads to Shelter Springs.

Well y’all! This book will put you in the Christmas spirit! This is a heartwarming tale that is down to earth.

This story has some great characters and I fell hard for Ryan! He is the perfect amount of tough and sweet. I loved his thoughtfulness and his interactions with Lydia and Holly. Lydia is the special needs daughter of Holly. These two change Ryan for the better…if that is even possible.

If you follow me at all you know one of my pet peeves in an audiobook is the child’s voice. It is very difficult for a narrator to get this right and not sound like an idiot. 🤦🏻‍♀️. But, Vanessa Johansson, (one of my favs!) is excellent at the voice of Lydia. Kudos!

Need a jingle of a tale to get you in a wonderful Christmas mood…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today!

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
