A Johnson Brothers Novel: Chestnut Ranch Romance Book 2
She's a party planner. He never gets off the ranch. So he'll hire her to plan a Johnson family Christmas party...nothing could go wrong with that...
Travis Johnson attended the speed-dating event during Chestnut Springs's Octoberfest and got exactly two phone numbers. One woman's already told him there's no spark between them.
Ouch.
The other has a boyfriend.
Double ouch.
But when Travis spots Millie at his brother's wedding, he learns she broke up with that other guy.
Perfect.
Gathering his courage, he asks her to dance, only to have his brother point out they're swaying under the mistletoe. So Travis does the only thing he can—he kisses Millie.
Millie Hepworth plans parties for a living, and Travis is crazy-busy on the ranch with his brother off on his honeymoon. So he does the only thing he can think of to keep Millie close.
He hires her to plan a Christmas party for him and his brothers out at Chestnut Ranch.
No big deal.
He forgot about the part where he works constantly and doesn't have much to say, especially to a successful, sassy woman like Millie. Oh, and the part where his mother has always hosted the Christmas party...
Oops.
Can Millie and Travis find a way to make their mistletoe kiss into something that will last?
My Review:
I’m beginning to see that sweet, slow build stories is this author’s style. As was the case in the first book, a lot of the story is spent getting familiar with the daily lives of our leading couple. I would have preferred a little bit less of this day-to-day aspect of their story. I thought Travis was an absolute sweetheart, and my heart broke for him every time he thought he wasn’t “enough”. It was very easy for me to identify with Millie because I suffer from several of the same insecurities as she does. That’s also probably why she drove me completely nuts several times. I would have loved to see some more time and focus spent in the story on Millie actively dealing with those issues. Because at the end of the story, I’m left feeling like she’s just going to pretend they’re not a problem anymore. From personal experience I know emotional wounds seldom work that way. The set up for the next books makes me very interested to see what they’re going to be. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
