About this ebook

She rocked my world last Christmas. Now she’s here with my baby in her arms.

I never dreamed I’d be dressed as a deranged bear the first time I held my daughter.

Or even that I’d have a daughter. 

Navy SEAL life isn’t great for fatherhood.

But seeing Jessie with baby Joy hits me like a happy holiday thunderbolt.

She’s not sure she trusts me, and who can blame her? 

Maybe if we’d swapped more than ten words before falling into bed that snowy night, we wouldn’t be strangers. 

I can’t regret our fling, just like I can’t ditch a military career I’ve wanted my whole life.

But maybe there’s something I want more.

Jessie, for starters. This unexpected small-town holiday.

We’re making heaps of family memories over gift wrap gaffes and sexy dreidel games.

Not to mention kisses hot enough to melt mistletoe.

I just need to prove we belong together.

Preferably before one of us hops a flight and gets gone for good.

One-click this second chance, small town rom-com about a military man who discovers he’s a father and the woman who started out as a one-night stand and might become his happily ever after.

Ratings and reviews

What an amazing crossover story!!!! I want all of Jon’s From Ponderosa Resort) to get a story and Jessie’s is all the things!! I felt every emotion in this book. This novella had me hooked from the first page. I was left believing that fate is real and these two were meant to find each other again. I’m obsessed with Juniper Ridge and I can’t wait to visit again!

Show of Honor by Tawna Fenske is a wonderful second chance at love, surprise baby story. Joe and Jessie had one night of passion with no numbers or personal information exchanged, so when that night resulted in a bundle of joy, Jessie had no way of contacting Joe. When Joe comes home to visit his mothers for the holidays, the last thing he expected was to be introduced to his daughter. Joe will need to work hard to convince Jessie that he can be trusted. I loved Joe's relationship with his mothers and the way this big old Navy Seal was really just a big old squishy teddy bear full of love. Show of Honor is a story about reconnecting, about love, families and second chances; it will definitely leave you smiling. I highly recommend magical holiday story to other readers.

This was a quick and delightfully amusing read with an unusually endearing slate of characters, and the clever sass, keen wit, and volcanic steam I have come to expect from Tawny Fenske. The storylines were relatively low angst yet dealt with real-world issues and concerns while employing engaging and entertaining twists using equal parts humor and perceptive insights. I adored this couple and hope to see them again.
