It’ll take a miracle.
Not Christmas Without You

My Review:
Who doesn’t love a small town Christmas romance?
Some of the best small town Christmas stories included in this box set. I couldn’t get enough of these books. The stories felt so real, so romantic and unforgettable. They make me want to experience a small-town Christmas of my own.
I previously reviewed each of these books individually.
Christmas at Copper Mountain
A beautiful story written with a lot depth and emotion.
This story would make a great Christmas movie.
Harley
Diekerhoff lost her husband and children three years ago to a
horrendous plane crash. She still grieves for them. Not able to bear the
holidays this year, she decides to skip Christmas with her family and
goes to Marietta Montana to fill in on a temporary job working as
housekeeper for Brock Sheenan on his ranch. It's only for three months.
That should get her past the holidays so she doesn't have to be reminded
by her family of what she has lost. She enjoys her job until unexpected
guests arrive and causes a lot of memories to creep back up on her. She
was just trying to work and forget her past and pain. Little does she
know Christmas miracles are real and they do happen to people when they
least expect it. Many angels have been working on this one. Will Harley
accept the gift that has been given to her and Brock or will she quit
her job and go back home just to avoid her feelings?
Not Christmas Without You
A beautifully written romance that I won’t soon forget.
When Charity Wright went to Little Teton Resort in Wyoming, in her friend’s place, she had no idea she would meet the man she was destined to be with. Charity‘s last relationship ended badly and she had given up on men. She was only looking for someone to talk to while she was at the resort.
Quinn Douglas was at Little Teton Resort to see if it was worth investing in. He used a different name and profession because he didn’t want everyone to know he was a popular baseball player with the Seattle Mariners.
When Charity and Quinn met, under assumed names, they formed an instant friendship where they shared a lot of personal things with each other. In the end, they shared an unforgettable kiss. When the weekend was over, Charity headed back to Marietta without saying goodbye to Quinn. Charity told Quinn that she lived in Marietta during one of their talks, so he went there looking for her. Quinn also grew up in Marietta, but didn’t know Charity. The shock came when they met again and Charity found out who Quinn really was and Quinn found out Charity used her friend Tricia’s name while at the resort. Charity and Quinn were total opposites. Charity grew up in a struggling family with an alcoholic father. Quinn was popular and loved by everyone in town. But, Quinn didn’t care about Charity’s past or upbringing. He had fallen for her and he was willing to do anything to win her over. He just needed to convince her that she was worthy of his love and attention.
This book is hard for me to review without giving away too many details. But I can say, my heart went out to Charity with everything she had gone through and how she was afraid to fall in love with Quinn. Quinn’s tragic past is something that was visited in previous Marietta books, but it is told again in this story. Even though this is fiction, I still couldn’t help thinking how a person would overcome what he went through. This book is easy to read and follow and not a detail was missed. I felt I knew the characters well and enjoyed seeing them get their happily ever after. This book is the perfect addition to the other Marietta books and a wonderful, feel good Christmas story.
My favorite quote:
“Because you make me happy. Being with you makes me happy. And as we both know, life can be hard, and there are no guarantees, so we have to make the most of every single day we’re given.”

Oh Christmas Night
A charming Christmas romance.
I was drawn into this book from the start. I really liked Rachel and wanted the best for her after she got passed over for a promotion at her job. Then, Rachel gets a package from her godmother, Lesley, informing her that she is giving her a book store in Marietta, Montana, the town her Rachel’s mother and grandparents used to live. After arriving in Marietta, Rachel finds herself loving the book store, but it was just more work than she expected.
I wasn’t sure what to think of Atticus, as he wanted to turn the book store into a restaurant, but he quickly changed my mind about him. When Atticus and Rachel started to fall for each other, I couldn’t help but cheer them on. But they had a lot to overcome if they were to get their happily ever after. First off, Atticus lived in Texas and Rachel in California. Rachel was a planner and when Atticus said he wanted to settle down with a wife and family, Rachel got scared and hopped on the next plane back to California. Rachel’s goals didn’t include a husband or children. Was it fate or Christmas magic that helped Rachel realize her goals were outdated and changing them could bring her more happiness? She got the next flight back to Marietta just in time to spend Christmas with Atticus and Lesley.
While reading this book, I could easily visualize Paradise Books and the scent of old books. Rachel and Atticus were some great characters and I enjoyed learning how they changed each other’s life for the better. The setting of Montana at Christmas time made me want to be there. I liked the small town feel and the residents who were more than willing to help Rachel get her store up and running again. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a sweet Christmas story with the feel of a Hallmark channel movie.

Montana Cowboy Miracle
If you read one Christmas book this year, make it this one.
Cade was in Montana looking for his biological family when he was referred to MerriBee to rent a room. Cade disliked Christmas and MerriBee’s place was heavily decorated, so Cade decided to go someplace else. But when MerriBee got injured and needed help, Cade was right there for her, even staying with her to help her. As Cade started to fall for MerriBee, his dislike for Christmas started to change, especially when he found out why MerriBee loved Christmas so much and decorated like she did. Neither, Cade or MerriBee wanted a relationship and they fought it as long as they could, but in the end, they realized they were meant to be together.
This is a book I won’t soon forget. It is full of hope, inspiration and wonderful characters. I can easily picture this book as a movie with the backdrops of the small Montana town of Marietta and the impressive Sundowner Ranch in Wyoming, where Cade works for Dot, the ranch owner and another unforgettable character in the book. This is a perfect addition to the Wyatt Brothers of Montana series and I recommend it to anyone who loves cowboys and small towns and is looking for a heartwarming Christmas story.

Away in Montana
If you have ever wondered about Montana Born’s
fictional town of Marietta before it became the modern day Marietta we
all know and love, this is the book for you.
The year is 1889 and McKenna Frasier has returned to Montana after a scandal left her the disgrace of New York society. Her father has disowned her too. She is starting her life over as a school teacher and living in a modest cabin without the luxuries she was accustomed to. She has avoided Sinclair Douglas, her first love, since returning. She couldn’t face him after the mistakes she made while living in New York. But he was always in the back of her mind as her one true love.
Sinclair has worked hard for everything he has, starting as a teenager working in the mines that McKenna’s father owned. Sinclair now owns a large ranch with cattle and making a good living for himself. The only things missing in his life are a wife and children. When Sinclair sees McKenna at The Bramble’s Halloween party, he has to talk to her. He never stopped loving her. But his heart was broken by the way she left him waiting for her return while she studied, traveled and eventually falling in love with someone else. Even after all of that, Sinclair still can’t help but want McKenna to be his wife. But his mother and sister have already picked out a woman for him, Ellie Burnett, the daughter of a Texas cattle rancher. Will Sinclair be able to convince McKenna that they are meant to be together or will he give in and ask Ellie to marry him?
The writing in this book is very impressive. I could tell each scene was well thought out and researched. The characters and their backgrounds were interesting and I enjoyed reading about the ancestors of the modern day Marietta characters that I have come to know so much about. This is a great kick-off to a new series.
