Christmas in Coral Canyon Book 2
A man who's traded his power suits for cowboy boots and his nanny...can they find love this Christmas?
Since the death of his wife a few years ago, Eli Whittaker has been running from one job to another, unable to find somewhere to settle. But he's left the tropical beach and the luxury resort where he used to work to brave the snow in Coral Canyon, Wyoming. Now that his older brother is back in their hometown and running the energy company, Eli wants his son, Stockton, to have a closer connection to family. Eli buys a dozen horses for the lodge and is working to book families and other vacationers to come stay at Whiskey Mountain and enjoy horseback riding lessons.
Meg Palmer is Stockton's nanny, and she comes with her boss, Eli, to the lodge, her long-time crush on the man no different in Wyoming than it was on the beach. When she confesses her feelings for him and gets nothing in return, she's crushed, embarrassed, and unsure if she can stay in Coral Canyon for Christmas. Then Eli starts to show some feelings for her too.
Meg's fantasies of making a family with Eli and Stockton grow and grow, especially when she sees how Eli is kind and patient with her difficult and demanding mother, who suddenly needs a place to spend the holidays. Can Eli move past his first wife and find the faith he needs to build a new family with Meg? Or will she finally admit it's time for her to take her heart and find someone else to give it to?
My Review:
I wanted to like this story a lot more than I actually did. I loved Eli and Stockton, and I liked who I thought Meg was going to be based on what we saw in the previous book. I just didn’t much like who she turned out to be in the end in this one. I was proud that she stood up for what she felt she deserved. I just thought her ‘line in the sand’ was rushed and unfair. I also have issues with characters refusing to discuss important matters with each other until the eleventh hour and this story hit that hot button for me several times. I love the sense of family and togetherness that the Whittaker clan embodies, so I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store for the next brother. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
