MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n It may be spring in Tennessee but it’s always a good time to read a delightful Christmas story. The Deputy’s Holiday Family<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 fits the bill with a cute kid and a second chance romance.<\/p>\n Lacie, now guardian of her deceased sister’s child, has returned to her home town to spend Christmas with her mother. Surprised by an encounter with her former crush, Matt, Lacie is determined to avoid him since he had always been more interested in her sister. Circumstances throw them together and both are surprised by secrets from the past that are revealed.<\/p>\n Loved this story, especially family reconciliations and the spiritual growth in more than one character. Matt was the perfect hero for Lacie and Kenzie with his unwavering support and caring nature. It was encouraging to read about how his relationship with his dad was resolved.<\/p>\n Mindy Obenhaus is an excellent author who keeps her plots interesting and right on track with a perfect blend of drama, romance, and faith. I will be reading more of her books in the future for sure.<\/p>\n I voluntarily reviewed a digital copy of this book provided by Just Read Tours. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n A Family for Christmas<\/strong><\/p>\n Lacie Collier is determined to give her niece, Kenzie, the best Christmas! But Lacie\u2019s got her work cut out for her when they spend the holidays at her Christmas-averse mother\u2019s home. With his focus on keeping his own mother\u2019s holiday traditions alive, sheriff\u2019s deputy Matt Stephens is surprised to see his old friend Lacie back in Ouray. He\u2019s always regretted that their friendship became strained after he started dating her sister in high school. But it\u2019s pure shock he experiences when he sees Kenzie, whose uncanny resemblance to Matt is undeniable. This Christmas will bring new memories for Lacie and Matt\u2026if they can open themselves to the possibility of love.<\/p>\n ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n MY REVIEW: It may be spring in Tennessee but it’s always a good time to read a delightful Christmas story.
