'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.
I was hooked immediately on this delightful holiday story! RaeAnne Thayne is known for heartfelt characters who exude warmth and sentimentality and when you throw in a holiday season, you’re in for a real treat. The main characters were well developed with emotional and dramatic back stories that carry into the storyline as he agrees to help her with an embarrassing moment surrounding her ex and she agrees to help him give his niece a holiday to remember while her mom is away getting well. Her daughter brings absolute delight to the story and her friendship with his niece is really adorable. I loved every minute of their story and walked away with a heart filled with love and a smile on my face. Highly recommend!
