A December ice storm destroys Rebekah Kingston’s Christmas plans. With the power out and the West Texas roads closed indefinitely, she’s forced to spend Christmas at her brother Braden’s ranch instead of at home with her parents.
But Rebekah and Braden are not alone. Also stranded is an annoyingly chatty ranch hand, Dirk Sims. While Rebekah is certain she’s met him before, Dirk insists she’s mistaken.
However, when Rebekah inadvertently eavesdrops on one of Dirk’s phone conversations, she discovers his lie. Dirk is not who he seems. This Christmas just got interesting.
The blurb for Carol James’ latest Christmas novella drew me in. This book was full of unexpected turns of events. While the premise of an ice storm could easily make for a predictable story of two people trapped together, that’s not how the story plays out. The characters are well-developed, believable, and lovable! I enjoyed watching the developing relationship between the two main characters, and I was drawn into to Rebekah’s very understandable range of emotions throughout the book. I’ve read several of Ms. James’ books, and I’ve enjoyed them all. This one is no exception. The devotional at the end of the story ties nicely into the theme of the book as well. God’s timing, while not always what we would have chosen, is always perfect. He knows what is best for us, even if we think we know better. Another inspirational read from Ms. James!
I had an Advance Readers Copy of this book, but this is my voluntary and honest opinion. Rebekah Kingston gets snowed in at her brother’s ranch after a wedding. She meets “Dirk” a new cowhand who is actually famous actor, Ethan Ford who doing research for a new movie role. Although she has never felt she should get married, Ethan starts to change her mind, but there are some situations to overcome. Carol James has another winner of a book with this one for sure!
“In its time.” A storm strands Rebekah in Texas at her brother’s ranch for Christmas. She sniffles over a picture of her friends, the six “Happily-Never-Afters.” She’s the only one still single. This reader wondered about the mention of so many names at first, but interest was snagged right away because the hero doesn’t use his real name. Why is he hiding who he is? I was immersed right away, the cowboy and kind-hearted woman drew me in. I loved the setting, the situation, and the HEA.
