Publisher's summary

When firefighter and single dad Steve Springfield moved his four kids to a Colorado Christmas tree ranch, he intended for it to be a safe haven. But he never expected danger to follow them to his childhood home...or that he would come face-to-face with the one girl he could never forget.

Folk artist Camille Brandt lives a quiet life. As the town's resident eccentric, she's used to being lonely - until Steve "freaking" Springfield changes everything. Brave and kind, he's always had a piece of her heart, and it doesn't take long before she's in danger of falling for him and his rambunctious kids.

But as mysterious fires break out across the sleepy Colorado town, Steve and Camille will have to fight if they want their happy family to survive until Christmas....

Contains mature themes.

Warm-hearted story with a little suspense

A nice warm-hearted story for Christmas that includes a side of suspense. The primary characters were truly some of Katie Ruggles' most easily identifiable/realistic. Their inner conflict and dialogues added true dimension to the story. Loved the kids in this but, wow, all are really good and highly intelligent? That's a really good parent dream come true. ;-)
A good Christmas story to read.

Rocky Mountain Cowboy Christmas

It had humor and intrigue. Nice story line and interesting characters. Easy reading /listening. Thank you.

Unknown Firefighter

This book was suspenseful, yet romantic. It gave me the want to keep listening, knowing there was a sweet ending.

Good story

At times I wanted to fast forward only because the author stagnated in parts. It would go over and over saying the same thing and not move forward. But I stuck with it because it is a good story and I wanted to see what happened at the end. I would have given it 5 stars but the fact that a couple times I found myself saying "just do it!" I couldn't. That said I did like the book and if you can stick with it it's a good story.

Great story. Strong Narration.

Love this author and how she intertwines a series into another series. This narrator was okay, but I felt like she was yelling at me the whole time....very strong voice...not something to fall asleep to.

Finally Steve gets the girl

I have been listening to several of Katie Ruggle’s books and have loved them all but I couldn’t wait to listen to the one with Steve and his children. When you add an eccentric woman with a handsome firefighter with 4 children you are bound to have trouble. This book was a very good listen and keep me from wanting to stop listening.

I Just Can't!

Listening to this is pure torture. The narrator has no inflection or feeling; flat. Sounds like she's reading to 5th graders. Returned!!!

Narrator was bad!

The narrator ruined the book for me. The storyline was so predictable and simple. I would not recommend this. I usually love Katie Ruggle's stories.

The ending ruined the story

spoiler. I can't believe the ending this author went with. Basically let a stalker/arsonist/possible murderer go. I enjoyed the story but the end was too unbelievable and unsatisfying. First book I've read by this author, probably the last.

The narrator ruined the story

Katie Ruggle is one of my favorite authors, but this narrator just ruined the story.

What a waste!
