Her fiancé, Hudson Piccolo, just took the call of his his dream legal job. There’s just one catch—the job is in Seattle, clear across the state. Accepting it means leaving the ranch and upending Mandie’s and her daughter’s lives.

Can their love withstand the tension between their ambitions and their commitment?

MY TAKE

Christmas Wishes is a holiday novella based on the Seven Tines Romance series. Although this is a series, this is my first time reading any of the books. We first meet Mandie, a ranch cook and single mom who wants a dream job and a dream wedding. She has a fiance, Hudson, who gets an offer in Seattle, a distance from where they live now. This is when you learn that one of them will need to sacrifice for the other, and will they be able to come to terms for who it should be?

I loved reading this book with the lights of my Christmas tree casting a glow, with my favorite comforter and a mug of hot chocolate to sip while I enjoyed the descriptions of a Christmas wedding. If you need a book to put you into the Christmas spirit, give this one a try!
