Every once in a while I just love a women’s fiction story. You get a lot of the relationship between family and friends; sometimes a little drama and angst, but usually very little. And then there are those that include a romance aspect too.
This is the first book I have read from this author and the Christmas theme seem like a good change of pace. Check out my review on this new release below.

The beloved author of the Mystic Creek series gifts readers with a novel of homespun holiday cheer, as two families discover the joy of hope and redemption….
Widow Maddie McLendon has uprooted her life to move to Rustlers Gulch with her son and grandson. But as a brutal Montana winter looms on the horizon, contractors have yet to break ground on their new house, leaving them to live in a makeshift camp of trailers, tents, and sheds….
Since his wife died six years ago, millionaire rancher Sam Conacher has been content to wallow in his grief alone while keeping a tight rein on his twenty-six-year-old daughter. But now the girl has gone and fallen in love with his foolish new neighbor’s no-good son….
Maddie and Sam will never see eye to eye on anything, until a near-tragedy gives them a true glimpse into each other’s souls. And as the first snowflakes begin to fall, they’ll discover that an open heart is the biggest gift of all….
The Christmas Room by Catherine Anderson Book Review
This book has so many elements of a perfect woman’s read. A little bit country, a handsome cowboy, some wonderful family connections, marvelous character development, and budding sweet romances. What’s not to love?
The author hit the mark with this great creation. She combined so many different aspects of life into this book that made it so very likable and difficult to put down.
The author touches on the trials and tribulations of a single parent, finding a love connection, moving to a new state, learning the ropes’s of the new area, supporting and dealing with mama, and many more issues and factors of life. Not to mention the crotchety neighbor next-door and his lovely daughter!
The author weaves a wonderful story that is humorous in parts, with touching and endearing characters that are so true to life, and she does it with a fluidity that grabs your attention until the very last word.
Definitely a Christmas story that women’s fiction lovers will enjoy!
