About this ebook

Paramedic Leanne Thomas works hard to be “one of the boys” at the fire station and on the mountain. What the guys don’t know is she keeps her inner girly-girl hidden from them. When gorgeous, rookie firefighter Christian Welton turns on the charm, Leanne shuts him down fast. She won’t risk her heart or her reputation by dating a younger man who is also a coworker.

Leanne intrigues Christian. After she rescues him off the mountain, he glimpses a softer, more vulnerable side to her tough-as-nails personality. Christian’s not looking for a relationship, yet he can’t deny his attraction. A surprise kiss under the mistletoe sparks a three-alarm fire, but something is holding her back.

Will Christian’s kisses break through Leanne’s hard exterior and melt her heart? Or will a dash of Christmas magic be required?

Ratings and reviews

I totally enjoyed reading Leanne and Christian’s story in Her Christmas Kiss by Melissa McClone, book three in the Mountain Rescue series. This is a heartwarming, sweet Christmas romance. Leanne Thomas, a paramedic in Hood Hamlet, has worked hard to be “one of the boys” at work and on the mountain, with her search and rescue squad. It started as a way for her to feel closer to the brothers she lost, along with her parents, in a car accident and then became habit. However, she keeps hidden, inside of her, the girly-girl she once was. Rookie firefighter Christian Welton was attracted to Leanne from the beginning, but especially after she rescued him off the mountain. Christian sees the softer side to Leanne and wonders what else she has hidden. Christian wasn’t looking for a relationship but he recognized the spark and attraction he had with Leanne. After an amazing surprise kiss under the mistletoe Leanne and Christian need to recognize the special chemistry they share. Or maybe the Christmas magic of Hood Hamlet will break through their stubbornness and provide a happy ever after for these two. Ms. McClone wrote a wonderfully sweet and moving Christmas story that is not to be missed. This story is filled with fun dialogue, endearing and likeable characters and the magic of love. I highly recommend Her Christmas Kiss to other readers and look forward to the next book in the series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Her Christmas Kiss by Melissa McClone. Leanne Thomas and Christian Welton are both firefighters, she is more experienced and he is a rookie. They fight falling in love for most of the book, but it is very entertaining.I really enjoyed reading about them fighting the attraction and then finally giving in to the attraction and falling in love. I really liked the way this book was written and would totally recommend to anyone looking for a good book to read.
