Or that she’d be forced to shun Maddox completely - only to discover she was carrying his child. Although Maddox was devastated by the events that transpired that fateful night, losing Jada was the worst of it. He’s back in Silver Springs, ready to make amends and provide the kind of youth outreach that once saved him. If he’d known Jada was in town, too, he wouldn't have come.

Not Novak's Best but Still a Good Story
- By SWV on 09-21-15
Publisher's Summary
Eve Harmon has always enjoyed Christmas, but this year it reminds her of everything she doesn't have. Almost all her friends are married now, and that's what Eve wants, too. Love. A husband and kids of her own. But the B and B she manages-and even Whiskey Creek, the small Gold Country town where she was born and raised-suddenly seem - confining. Eve is worried that her future will simply be a reflection of her past. There's no one in the area she could even imagine as a husband - until a handsome stranger comes to town. Eve is definitely attracted to him, and he seems to have the same reaction to her. But his darkly mysterious past could ruin Eve's happily ever after-just when it finally seems within reach. And just when she's counting on the best Christmas of her life.
Contains mature themes.

Fun book
What I like about this author is the way her books keep me engaged in the story. She keeps each book separate but one keeps running into old characters which for me is so much fun.

DNF
Barely got through the first chapter. The narrator and character didn’t mesh well. I’ve listened to this narrator before and she works well for certain characters but she just ends up making the main character in this seem so (much more) annoying and that was only after one chapter (a 35 year old woman is mad because her one night stand won’t take her for coffee after???? girl it’s called a one night stand for a reason, grow up).

Loved the book. Loved the storyline and characters. Narrator did fine except...
I wish they'd had someone double-check the Narrator's pronunciation of actual town names. Placerville was mispronounced multiple times and it was a bit distracting, each time.
