It’s Christmas in Gold Valley, and this wounded widower is about to get another shot at love... Grant Dodge didn’t expect to find a woman sleeping in an abandoned cabin on his family ranch. He also never expected to find her so intriguing. Unlike every other woman in town, McKenna Tate doesn’t know Grant’s a widower. There’s no pity in the looks she gives him. McKenna wants him, and Grant has forgotten what it’s like to feel like a man. A no-strings fling for Christmas might just be the kind of holiday cheer Grant needs... With only a suitcase and a broken-down truck to her name, McKenna came to Gold Valley aiming to confront her birth father, then leave by Christmas. Working at the Dodge ranch wasn’t planned, nor was falling for the gorgeous cowboy who keeps his heart roped off. But there’s no denying the way their broken pieces fit together. Hope brought her to Gold Valley; love makes her want to stay. Can it be the one gift that could finally heal Grant, and McKenna’s own wounded heart?

I'm not a romance fan by any stretch of the imagination, but when my book club decided to not only read a cowboy Christmas book for the season but also create a yearly tradition of it, I sort of had to get in on the ground floor.
I had a few hangups with the story, but I think most of them stem from me overthinking what's meant to be a cute, fun, heartwarming Christmas love story. The timeline was super rushed (three weeks to go from a tresspasser/coworker-with-a-drinking-problem situation to something much more heartwarming), and I sort of have reservations with how McKenna's sideplot(?) wrapped up, but overall it was a nice, quick, easy read. I probably wouldn't voluntarily read a romance on my own, but I'm sure I'll be reading another one of these next Christmas with friends.
