Blurb:
In the heart of the Rockies
In the arms of a cowboy
One white Christmas can change everything.
When firefighter and single dad Steve Springfield moved his four kids to a Colorado Christmas tree ranch, he intended for it to be a safe haven. But he never expected danger to follow them to his childhood home...
Or that he would come face-to-face with the one girl he could never forget.
Folk artist Camille Brandt lives a quiet life. As the town's resident eccentric, she's used to being lonely--until Steve freaking Springfield changes everything. Brave and kind, he's always had a piece of her heart, and it doesn't take long before she's in danger of falling for him and his rambunctious kids. But as mysterious fires break out across the sleepy Colorado town, Steve and Camille will have to fight if they want their happy family to survive until Christmas...
I love the books by Katie Ruggle, they are thrilling and captivating and draw you in. This book makes no difference even though I thought that the end was somewhat anti-climatic and that on the whole, even though I loved Steve and his amazing kids a lot, I didn't like his brothers. Ryan and Nate were a bit too much. Ryan's pursuit of Camille got nón my nerves because it was for all the wrong reasons and Nate, well. Nate.
The chemistry between Camille and Steve was great and I really enjoyed all those awkward and dorky actions and the talking to oneself and such things. It made them very authentic and very relatable because, well, who hasn't had that stupid "I carried a watermelon"-moment when talking to or dealing with someone he or she cared for? The way Steve's kids opened up to Camille and welcomed her to their family was wonderful. Those kids are so loving and caring and so amazing all around, it's simply heart-warming. You can feel Camille click in like the missing piece of a puzzle.
Gossipping neighbors that made me cringe and spitting mad at the same time, explosions, artists and fire, too much fire...this book kept me on my toes.
I'm really looking forward to the next books in this series!
