About this ebook

It's going to take more than luck to make his Christmas dreams come true

Jim "Lucky" Elliott is the country boy next door – charismatic, handsome and charming. But when he has to drop out of vet school to try and rescue his grandparents’ Marietta-based sleigh ride business and family farm, Lucky faces his hardest struggle yet.

Podcaster Rachel O'Rourke is done with broken hearts, but she can still find joy in other people's happily-ever-afters. When she holds a contest on her show for the best first kiss story, her bruised heart beats a little faster when she reads Lucky's submission. He doesn't have a story, but his grandparents do, and free advertising for the winner is just what he's looking for.

As they start spending time on the farm, Rachel finds herself not only drawn to the sweet setting, but also to the man. But when a real estate developer sets his sights on the Elliott land, Lucky will have to decide if the money means security for his family, or if he'll fight for Sleigh Bell with Rachel by his side.

Ratings and reviews

I love to read Christmas & Holiday books all year long. This is one of those books that I will be reading and re-reading for years to come. Let's head back to Marietta my favorite place to be in the entire world...if it were real that is. Lucky Elliot comes home from vet school to help out his grandparents on their farm at the holiday time and to make some tough decisions. He thought he was only making decisions about the farm but life is funny like that you know. A pod-cast & contest about love's first kiss can get Sleigh Bell Farm it's much needed advertising for free if they are the one's picked. Rachel O’Rourke is the pod-cast reporter and she and Lucky get close as he helps her get to know his grandparents. This book has everything I could want and more in a book at anytime of the year. It has the perfect amount of push and pull between characters, both main ones and supporting ones as well. There is so much true life written into this story that it simply gave me goose bumps sitting here writing this out. Our author has her hands and heart plugged into the cowboys, farmers and yes, those we call middle America and it shows. Marietta, Montana is a fictional town but it is one so many of us love like it is our own hometown. Reading this book I cried thinking I might be losing an institution long dear to our hearts. This book is now one of my two favorite Christmas books.

Loved this Christmas romance that will give you plenty of warm Christmas fuzzies. Nothing is better than spending time in Marietta at Christmas time, it will for sure put you in the holiday mood. Great chemistry between Lucky and Rachel. Lucky has returned to his grandparent's farm to help through the holidays when he meets podcaster, Rachel with her contest of first kiss, when he enters his grandparents. Lucky soon needs to make the decision to keep the farm going or returning to vet school. This is the story "about finding your way home again". I highly recommend this book, can't wait to read the next book in the series.

This is a super sweet Christmas themed romance that will definitely get you into the festive spirit and for us down under it gives us a chance to dream of a white Christmas Jim "Lucky" Elliott always does what is expected of him even to the point that he goes to veterinary school because that is what his father wants while all he really wants is to open a animal sanctuary on his grandparents farm They already care for unwanted horses and donkeys but he wants to take it larger When it looks like his grandparents could lose the farm he leaves vet school to return home to help them Then he sees a competition where he would get a month of free advertising perfect for the Christmas time when his grand parents run sleigh rides and sell Christmas trees. Rachel O’Rourke’s podcast is starting to take off and her first kiss competition should put it on the map When she picks the first kiss of Lucky's grand parents she has no idea what she is starting She doesn't believe in true love she has been burnt but she is starting to fall for the sweet country boy who is trying to save his grandparents farm but when investors try to take the farm will they be able to stop them. You will have to read to see if thy get a HEA
