REVIEW
I started and finished this book in one day because I could not put it down. This is the first book that I have read by Becky McGraw and it will not be my last.
Cowboys, socialite, models, mishaps and Santa all lead to a fabulous story of about guilt, family, loyalty, jealousy, love, and learning to trust.
Cord Dixon left his family ranch home to become a model for Laramie Jeans and due to him saying no to a certain proposition he finds himself jobless and dressed in a Santa suit and not sure if he would be welcome back home. Hope Carlisle meets said Santa as she is his elf photographer because of a certain mishap in her past. On Hope's first day Cord loses it and decides to quit which leaves Hope without a job till she has a brainwave and makes her own offer to Cord - which he accepts.
This story held me captive with the ups and downs of Cord making amends with his family, the budding romance/attraction between Cord and Hope, both frightened to say how they felt and what they wanted. The show of friendship from Cords friends to help him repair his family home, throw this all together and it all lead to an amazing love story that give you that feel good factor after finishing a book. Congrats Becky McGraw - LOVED it. 5 stars.
