What is your favorite holiday tradition? For me, I enjoy spending the time off from work to sit curled up with a good. Much like many weekends when I am free of a to-do list.

 

Book Description

Gold Valley’s rodeo champion is facing the toughest challenge of his life--a Christmas wedding!

Legendary bull rider Jake Daniels has only one plan this Christmas--to ignore the pain the season always brings. Until his best friend, Callie Carson, shows up on his ranch with a marriage proposal. Jake has lived so close to the edge it’s a miracle he’s still alive--he knows all about risk. But marrying the woman he craves more than anything feels like the biggest risk of all.

Callie Carson may be rodeo royalty, but to fulfill her dreams of riding saddle bronc, she needs her inheritance. And to access that, she needs a husband. But Jake the husband is deliciously different from Jake the friend, especially after the wild heat of their wedding night. He was only supposed to be her cowboy for Christmas, but Jake’s every heart-stopping touch has Callie questioning how she’ll ever be able to walk away.

My Thoughts

Love this story by Maisey. Though it was part of a series I still found myself enjoying it. I enjoyed it so much I can't wait to go back and start the series from the beginning.

With that said getting to go to Gold Valley at Christmas was charming. 

I instantly fell in love with our girl Callie. She had me rooting for her from the get-go. Callie is strong-willed and determined to go after what she wants even if that means dragging her friend jake into the middle. 

Jake is the quiet sort and would do anything for Callie even if it means to marry her to help continue her dream of being in the rodeo.

This classic story of friendship turning into love was such a joy to read. Set in a small town I was instantly captivated.

I fell in love with the town and its residents and can't wait to go back to start this series from the beginning.
