A Cold Creek Christmas Story by RaeAnne Thayne

She's a small town librarian and she enjoys it.  She especially likes reading to the children.  She even wrote her own book for children.  Her sister illustrated for her and, to her surprise, it becomes a best seller.  Now they want to do an animated film about it.  Does she want to do that?

Harlequin and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you).  It will be available November 17th.

Celeste is getting ready for Christmas with her family.  They do a big celebration, offer sleigh rides and other activities and just enjoy the holiday.  What she doesn't expect is how this holiday will turnout...

This is a sweet romance that was very enjoyable to read.  Her hometown hero (from when she was thirteen) comes home to clean out his grandmother's house.  He has his daughter with him.  She's got PTSD from watching her mother be killed by her boyfriend and his death from suicide.  Flynn is very, very protective of her but when she enjoys being around the librarian and even hugs her, he decides to let it be.  He's even willing to encourage it, but when he does, he finds out he enjoys being around her, too.  He's just here to finish up the house clean up and then he'll sell.  He lives in California and has a big business.  He's not here to stay...

Celeste knows that and tries to protect her heart.  We all know how that goes.  The author adds a sweet ending and happily ever after wins.  I'm glad.
