About this eBook

A lonely CFO dressed as Santa. A single mom and her special son. And a Christmas carol that creates a miracle nobody would ever expect.

 

I’m just minding my own business, grabbing a snack for my son, before I head back to work. Next thing I know I’m staring down Santa Claus in the middle of the mall. Everyone from the Christmas party last night I recognize as they look at me with judgement. But none of them know what that boy has been through. What I’ve been through. And why, God, but why, has the lord sent me a guardian angel dress as Santa Claus, now?

 

***

 

My sister Hannah chose my name, Christian, because it sounds a lot like Christmas. No accident there. So when she asks me to dress up as Santa Claus for the kids in the mall, I have trouble saying no. Turns out it’s the best job I’ve ever had, and I’m the CFO of my folks’ company, so that’s saying a lot. But when a certain young boy and his mama come into my life, and I learn of his secret, suddenly his mama, Perrie, is no longer the tiger mama she started out as. And I find myself on the business end of an unforgivable situation.

The fourth book in the Christmas in Huttonville, this is a series I would say to read in order. Christian is playing Santa and meets single mom Perrie is going through a divorce with a four year old son, Beckham who has been traumatized by something. The story is an engaging story that held my interest from cover to cover. I enjoyed seeing them get their happy ending. It is well worth reading. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Christian's story starts from where Darryl's ended so we find out ehat happens as it was left on a cliffhanger. Christian meets Perrie who has moved back home at Darryl's christmas party and is attracted to her. Perrie is a single mum and doesn't trust anyone especially after what her little boy has been through. Christian is roped in to play Santa claus at the mall by his sister Hanna. When Christian meets Beckham Perrie's son they instantly form a bond. As they all spend time together and get through the issues together,they fall in love along the way. It was a sweet emotional read.It was good to catch up with all the rest of the gang as well. Cannot wait to read Jovi and Rickie's story.The final book in this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

Fair warning: ALL Sandy's western romances end with a cliffhanger, so if that's not your thing....sorry!

If you're not into addictive, heartwarming, sexy stories about cowboys and the women that they fall fast and hard for...move on.

About the Author

Sandy's first job out of high school was as an assistant animal groomer. Among many other jobs in her career, she's also worked at a prestigious winery that many well-known celebrities have patronized. With a college degree in Administration, she has several years of desk work under her belt, including her most current job at an established charity.

Often found in the lunchroom writing voraciously, Sandy has been called a 'writing machine'. Despite her forty-hour a week job, she still publishes many books each year. With a literary back list born in 2010, Sandy has branched out into several genres.

Married with two children and two furbabies, Sandy is a lover of all things four-legged. A strong advocate of health & fitness, you'll find her doing Yoga in her living room at 5:00 weekday mornings, which is sometimes when new story ideas come to light. Writing, like exercise, is a daily practice for this author. She's received 5 Stars from Readers' Favorite for 'Betrayal Only Comes in Green', and 'The Man with the Black Belt'.
