I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Everything is riding on Christmas…

Especially second chances

Ten years ago, former trick rider Willow Blackwell gave up on Christmas miracles…along with the idea of family and even love. But this year, the ghosts of Christmas past have reared up. Willow has one chance to perform with her sisters—the Blackwell Belles—and prove she’s the riding star she was born to be. But coming face-to-face with her ex, champion bull rider Nolan Elliot, is one reunion she’s not prepared for. It’s the ultimate holiday do-over. But is Willow finally leaving the past behind…or finding the love she was always meant to have?

Filled to the brim with sentimentality and love! The final book in The Blackwell Belles series by Harlequin Heartwarming was Willow’s story and brought drama galore. I wanted a bit more to the big resolution fleshing out between sisters, but I did enjoy the series as a whole. The characters in this particular book were fairly well developed and the angst was high. I enjoyed the reunion between Willow and Nolan and how his family surrounded them and brought a holiday to life that neither of them thought they were up for. I hope to see more of the Blackwells down the road!

I recommend this book as well as the entire series and the Blackwell series that came before this one to anyone that enjoys a close-knit buttinsky family with lots of drama behind the scenes who come forward and rally around each other as each sibling/cousin finds true love.
