A SAFE PLACE FOR CHRISTMAS
Can giving this baby a holiday refuge help heal his reluctant heart?
Taking in a mother and child is the last thing Luke Morgan expects this Christmas as he struggles to keep his tree farm afloat. But when Shayla Coggins and her baby boy are stranded during a snowstorm, he can't turn them away. Even as Shayla's little boy draws them together, her dangerous secret comes home...and makes falling in love riskier than ever.
My Review:
There's something special about a Truelove Christmas -- that would be the town that lives by the motto "Where true love awaits." And it's outfitted with a posse of matchmaking honorary grannies who take that slogan very seriously. Which is why Luke Morgan is quaking in his boots when they set their sights on him and the stranded young mother he's providing a haven for.
Shayla isn't exactly a stranger -- they knew each other in high school but circumstances kept them from developing more than a casual acquaintance. Shayla was the girl from the wrong side of the tracks, struggling to survive a roughshod upbringing and, while Luke was raised in a nurturing family, tragedy struck his life in his senior year and he's been scrabbling to keep up every since.
So...not the perfecting time for romance....
Until Lisa Carter works her storytelling magic and creates a heartwarming, holiday-infused, unforgettable Christmas story. There's angst and laughter and the delightful hesitancy of new love. Even a spot of danger as the author brings some of her suspense talent to the plot. And the cutest baby boy ever!!!! As well as a town full of the kind of folks you want in your life. Truelove is a community full of hope and faith and the belief that everyone deserves a happily ever after.
