OPENING HIS HOLIDAY HEART

With a little boy's help, can he let go of painful memories?

Casey Evans wants no part in the holidays, which is a major problem for Mayor Sutton Wentworth. Sutton has her heart set on their town winning a national Christmas contest, and Casey's refusal to decorate his coffee shop could ruin everything. Thankfully, her precious son has worked his charms on Casey. But can one little boy -- and his mother -- change the mind of the local grinch?

A Thunder Ridge Romance

My Review:

Everything that I want in a Christmas story times 100!

This is only my second Thunder Ridge Romance I've read (there are three) but I'm a fan of this town and these people and the way Renee Ryan portrays them all! A rom/com with heart. 

We've got a cute kid (and lots more sprinkled throughout) and dogs! A bulldog couple named Winston and Clementine. :-)  (and puppies!) A reunion romance that kept me in stitches -- seriously lethal one-liners courtesy of Casey. Love, love, love the verbal sparring and the way he can always coax an almost grin out of Sutton even when she's in a gnarly mood. 

And a town that's exploding Christmas -- except for one grinchy corner -- the coffee house owned by "Ebenezer Grinch" himself. :-) I was on tenterhooks trying to figure out what his bah humbug reason was and how these high school love birds messed up their romance the first time 'round. Love the way the author drew out those reveals, kept me turning pages, that's for sure.

Equal parts laughter and swooning with enough angsty stuff to make me nervous. And tons of festive touches that definitely make for one truly exceptional holiday read.

The Sheriff's Promise

GIVEAWAY

RYAN, RENEE

THE SHERIFF'S PROMISE

He's looking for help. And she has the perfect arrangement...

Overworked and overwhelmed, all Sheriff Wyatt Holcomb wants is to be the best guardian to his seven-year-old nephew -- and dealing with a runaway alpaca and the animal's frustrating owner isn't helping. Then veterinarian Remy Evans offers a solution for them both. She'll watch his rambunctious nephew, Samson, this summer if he'll fast-track her permit application for a petting zoo. But this temporary solution might just be their chance at forever.

A Thunder Ridge Book

My Review:

It's not every day you get to start a romance with a runaway alpaca. A pink-bedazzled one named Prissy at that. :-) Snort, I hiccup-laughed my way through that opening scene and guffawed, chortled and alpaca-grinned right on through to the end. Poor Sheriff Holcomb is hard done by the females in town, whether they have four legs or two. And especially if their name is Remy Evans.

Loved this rom/com full of heart and faith and second chances. And puppies! And a ferret and a Great Dane and...well, the kind of critter posse you'd expect to find around a dedicated, animal loving veterinarian. Add in some choreographed chaos and plenty of heart-tugging emotional turmoil and you get this kind of page-turning frenzy of delight!
