As soon as I accepted this review, I kicked myself as I wasn't sure if this would really be my type of book. Contemporary romance can be a hit or miss for me and I feel bad when it's a miss. Phew, I really enjoyed this novel! There is a sweet romance, a small town and a bit of mystery - all of my favourite things in romances.
Clayton, a former Navy-Seal, is back home trying to get the family ranch out of the red. Their longtime accountant retired and left the business to his son. His son took the ranch's money and ran. Now Clayton is trying to find him and figure out how to keep the family ranch running. Abby is raising her two teenage brothers and trying to get her college degree. When her brother is arrested for stealing one of Clayton's cattle, Abby is unsure of what to do next for him. Clayton decides to give him another chance and work off his debt. And, Clayton is hoping he will give up his friends who also stole the cattle. Clayton sees how much Abby is trying to raise her brothers, work and get her degree so invites her to dinner when she picks up her brother after his shifts. Abby's degree is going towards accounting so she begins to help him figure out how their accountant embezzled money. Soon, the two find themselves more than just physically attracted to each other.
I loved the story, the characters and the holiday theme. It was a fun easy quick read and I cannot wait till the second book!
