Summary

Becca can handle his rambunctious twins in the classroom. But teaching their dad to open his heart would take a Christmas miracle…

Zane Lawrence doesn’t need anything but the family dairy farm and his seven-year-old twin boys for his life to be complete. The single dad works hard all day and chases the boys around the farm all night. His life is a little chaotic–but there’s a delicate balance to it.

So when a pretty young teacher at the boys’ school tries to interfere with some big ideas about their education, Zane isn’t about to let her throw their world off-kilter. After all, she’s new to the school and Sugarville Grove. And it’s bad enough that she’s meddling in his business, but the fact that he’s desperately attracted to her makes him furious with himself.

New teacher Becca Hawthorne sees the Lawrence twins struggling despite their potential and reaches out to their dad right away, excited about her first opportunity to make a real difference. It's crystal clear how much Zane Lawrence loves his boys, so Becca doesn’t expect him to be so offended at her attempts to help. Anyone can see that the man has deep wounds, but his reaction to her feels almost personal. She’s not about to let it stop her from fighting for his kids, though.

When he finally relents, Becca is sure that her dealings with the single dad are over. But for some reason, she suddenly finds herself bumping into Zane Lawrence at every turn. Whether it’s the store, the post office, or the flurry of holiday events in town, she can’t seem to stop seeing the handsome cowboy everywhere she goes.

Did Santa send these lonesome souls a pair of holiday matchmakers for Christmas? And how long can they keep denying what seems so obvious to everyone else before they finally surrender?

This is the third installment in the small-town Sugarville Grove series, and I’m still loving it. Zane and Becca’s story is wholesome, clean, and engaging. Zane is a devoted single dad—handsome, and supportive—while Becca is smart, determined, and easy to root for. They fit together perfectly, and I especially enjoyed the scenes with Zane’s twin boys. Amanda Stribling and Jameson Adams did a great job bringing these characters and their story to life. I’m excited to continue with Christmas Promises, the next book in the series.

I love this series!

A second chance at love that stole my heart. Becca has come to Sugarville Grove to replace a second grade teacher mid year. Not an easy task, but loving her job she jumps in with both feet. Meeting Zane, the father to twins and one in her class has caught her eye, but she is a professional and loves his kids. The first to notice things about them, she works to make their education better, but being the new girl on the block, she's not always taken seriously. That is until Zane begins to see just what her suggestions do for them. But that's not the only thing that has caught his eye. Her heart and effect on him too has made his heart open. But is she willing to be with an older, single dad who lives on a farm? Heartwarming from the start, this one is filled with all the villains and heroes that I expect, but keep me nostalgic. Loved their chemistry and the romance.

Amanda Stribling and Jameson Adams are fabulous together. Stribling is Becca, excited to start her own job, and her new life. She creates the most believable woman, with a heart of gold. Adams is Zane, a bit shy, and a lot protective. Together they are the magic that brings this story alive.

Becca & Zane!
