About this ebook

Her first real Christmas

Her first real cowboy…

Journalist Jolie Duval has escaped her killjoy family in order to enjoy a real down-home Christmas in Montana. Hello to mountains, snow, carols, delicious cookies and…whoa, one seriously hot hunk of a cowboy. Since Jo's experiencing the whole Christmas fantasy anyway, why can't she have a red-hot holiday fling? Thank you, Santa.

Thaddeus Knight is definitely the best gift Jo has ever unwrapped. Their sexual chemistry is more intense than anything she's ever experienced. This cowboy knows when to be a gentleman—and when not to be a gentleman. But then Jo stumbles upon Thad's troubled past and his deep, dark secret. Is this man the love of her life…or the subject of the biggest story of her career?

Ratings and reviews

Fun Wow! What an amazingly intriguing holiday story that turns into a wild and crazy mystery love story! This happens to be my first Daire St. Denis book, but with this setting and writing style, it surely will NOT be my last. I felt like I was on the ranch along side the characters enjoying the holiday festivities with them. The descriptions of the scenery makes me wish I were there enjoying the snow too. What an awesome chain of events. Jolie Duval is spending Christmas in Montana at Silver Tree Guest Ranch, to write an article for the magazine she worked for. After dinner she called her mother to tell her she won't be home for the 25th, but instead of telling the truth, that she wanted to know what it was like to really celebrate Christmas. She tells a lie all because her family, as an atheist household they don't celebrate Christmas —a day that honors the birth of someone/something they don't believe in—, she tells them she's investigating a big story about organized crime if she's the first to break it, it's sure to help her career take off. She tells her mother she can't tell them where she's at either. Jolie's motto for this trip is to "try new things everyday". And the sexy ranch hand Thad McKnight is definitely one of them! Thad is enjoying this Christmas more than he has any others in the 12 years since he left New Orleans (NOLA). But he has to be careful, he had secrets that have to stay hidden. However it's too easy to talk to Jolie and things he hasn't thought about in years start to come out as they begin to get closer. Maybe he should've listened to Gloria (his boss' wife), and stayed away from her. But there's just something about her that he can't stay away from. There's definite fiery chemistry between Jolie and Thad. To see what happens between them you'll have to read A CHRISTMAS SEDUCTION. Oh but the hilarious banter between these two as well as the mystery that's hidden will keep you on your toes and turn page after page! I received this ARC via the author in exchange for an honest review. Due to sexual content this novel is recommended for readers 18 and older!
