I like how this is the next generation from the Holiday Hope story。 Zach grew up around trains and loves fixing them。 On his way home from work one day, he sees a woman backing into the street。 She isn't paying attention and is almost run over by a wagon。 Zach to the rescue。 Lorna can't believe that she was so engrossed in looking at the gazebo that she didn't pay attention to her surroundings。 They are instantly smitten, but Lorna's dad is Zach's employer。 Her dad also has definite ideas about I like how this is the next generation from the Holiday Hope story。 Zach grew up around trains and loves fixing them。 On his way home from work one day, he sees a woman backing into the street。 She isn't paying attention and is almost run over by a wagon。 Zach to the rescue。 Lorna can't believe that she was so engrossed in looking at the gazebo that she didn't pay attention to her surroundings。 They are instantly smitten, but Lorna's dad is Zach's employer。 Her dad also has definite ideas about the classes and Zach is not in her class。 Lorna doesn't care about things like that, but her dad does and makes it hard for Zach。 Can they make their relationship work?

If you have read any book by Shanna Hatfield, you know how good Holiday Heart will be。 Her ability to intertwine intensity, humor, and heart take all of her books a step up from the norm。 It doesn't take long for mail-order bride Lorna to realize that something is wrong when her groom to be seems to be avoiding her, but his family welcomes her with open arms and makes this first Christmas season without her parents a warm and fun one。 If you have read any book by Shanna Hatfield, you know how good Holiday Heart will be。 Her ability to intertwine intensity, humor, and heart take all of her books a step up from the norm。 It doesn't take long for mail-order bride Lorna to realize that something is wrong when her groom to be seems to be avoiding her, but his family welcomes her with open arms and makes this first Christmas season without her parents a warm and fun one。 。。。more

This is the second installment in this series about life in Holiday。 If you have not read the previous book, I encourage you to do so, but this book is still excellent as a stand alone。Years have passed, the town of Holiday has grown up and the Coleman family has expanded。Zach Coleman is working on the trains, specifically the one his father drove for many years。He, himself, has a new motorcycle。 One day after work Zach sees and saves a new woman in town, when she distractedly wanders into the s This is the second installment in this series about life in Holiday。 If you have not read the previous book, I encourage you to do so, but this book is still excellent as a stand alone。Years have passed, the town of Holiday has grown up and the Coleman family has expanded。Zach Coleman is working on the trains, specifically the one his father drove for many years。He, himself, has a new motorcycle。 One day after work Zach sees and saves a new woman in town, when she distractedly wanders into the street。 He is not looking for romance, and especially not when he discovers this woman is his boss's daughter! But Lorna is unlike anyone he has ever met。Like him, she is fascinated with motors, engines and innovation。While her father is away, and since she knows no one in town besides her family's hired help, it is only neighborly for Zach to make her feel welcome。 I love that part of the story takes place at Halloween。A sweet romance with wonderful characters。 It is funny and uplfting even when Lorna's father returns bringing along someone from her past。 This book is about friendship and new experiences。I accepted an advanced copy of this book but the opinions and rating are my true opinion。 。。。more
