The Rancher's Christmas Match

GIVEAWAY
MINTON, BRENDA
THE RANCHER'S CHRISTMAS MATCH

A daddy for her daughter...Can their Mercy Ranch Christmas become forever?

When struggling single mom Rebecca Martin hears a philanthropist in Okalahoma is offering buildings rent-free for a year, she can't pass up the opportunity. And cowboy Isaac West is just the unexpected help she needs to turn the building into a thriving business. Falling in love isn't part of the plan...but with this injured veteran, it's a gift that's hard to resist.

My Review:

I love struggling single mom stories and this one really tugged at my heartstrings -- especially when the plot takes on some hard-hitting angst. I pretty much felt my way through this story, which is my favourite way to enjoy a book! But even though there's enough drama to churn an innocent reader's tummy into knots, there are some delightfully funny parts as well.

Like when Isaac and Rebecca first meet. He's definitely not in top form and she's a take-charge kind of woman who leaps to the wrong conclusion.

"She probably slayed dragons and stormed castle walls. He could do those things on an average day. Unfortunately, today wasn't his best knight-in-shining-armor day." (p 12)

No worries, poor Isaac gets a shining armor moment or two but Rebecca sure makes him work for it. Love the banter between them. He's kinda funny and flirty and she's way too serious. They are obviously drawn to each other but both have enough baggage to be wary. And there's Rebecca's adorable daughter to factor into the equation.

Angst aplenty, a great Christmas connection and critters galore (including some awesome dogs!) make this a treat of a holiday read!
