Lucie's Review: 

A heartwarming second chance romance at Legacy Ranch just in time for Christmas.

Widowed youth pastor Jonathon Bauer moves back to his hometown with two young daughters and finds himself working alongside his former flame Meredith Hunt to bring their annual Christmas Under the Stars event to life. An engaging story with strong faith and good relationship building and interaction. I liked returning to Legacy Ranch and catching up with the sisters and Aunt DeLyn.

Meredith is finding her feet again after a career reset and working on the ranch with her sisters and aunt. I liked how she bonded with Jonathon's daughters and worked hard to make the Christmas event come together. 

Overall, a heartwarming read, full of heart, with wonderful characters and strong themes of faith and family. Definitely recommend!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
