    About this ebook


    Widower Davis Turner doesn't need to hear his children's whispered wishes for a new mom to recognize that new neighbor Lana Ross is a beautiful woman. But he worries that his feelings for the former bad girl could put his family at risk for small–town scandal. Lana knows she should steer clear of Davis. Yet she can't resist spending time with the handsome single dad, even if the truth might soon tear them apart. Though Lana has turned over a new leaf, her secrets have followed her to Whisper Falls. Secrets that could destroy her hope for a future with Davis.

      3.5/5 stars. I am a sucker for stories where children wish or pray for a new mommy/daddy for Christmas. There's something heartwarming about new families being made over holiday celebrations and rituals.

      Davis' children pray for a new mom "with brown hair" and right after they do brown-haired Lana and her daughter move to town. Davis remembers Lana as the bad girl from high school but despite malicious town gossip--and his own sister warning him away--decides to give adult Lana the benefit of the doubt. The kids hit it off, Davis and Lana hit it off, and everything is going great heading toward Christmas. Then Davis' daughter spills a secret and Davis has to decide what to do.

      The thing I like about this very Christian book is that Davis soon realizes that his definition of being a good Christian is not turning his back and judging, but helping, trusting, and loving. I also very much like Lana and the way she was determined to make a better life for her daughter than she had for herself, and how that included becoming sober and returning to a town where she expected to be hated.

      This book definitely had what I look for in a Christmas and holiday romance. Right down to Mr. & Mrs. Claus on a Christmas train.
