I bought this book just for the reason that Linda Lael Miller wrote it. I love all Linda’s books, and this was no exception. It was a wonderful Christmas story where all of your Christmas wishes come true and there is a happy ending at the last turn of the page. I was very disappointed when I came to the end of this book, because it was the end. I loved it!

If you want just a light romantic Christmas tale-this is it! It’s a typical LLM book. I hadn’t cared for her other Montana Creed books-she has some I like-some that just don’t ring true. However this one has all the key ingredients for a sentimental Christmas story. Julianna, a teacher at the Indian School has been left with 4 of her students-2 who are orphans-alone, homeless and of course no money. Step up Rancher Lincoln Creed, widower with a 7 year old intelligent little girl who wants nothing more than to go to school. OF course he takes them all to his ranch and what transpires from there is fairly predictable but still makes for a nice heart warming tale. It’s a story of Lincoln learning to let go of a past love and Julianna letting someone help her after years of handling things alone. I will have to say I miss a dog or cat or pet of some kind in the story-there usually seems to be at least one in Linda’s books but alas none here. However, it’s a quick light read so if you’re in the mood for a fun Christmas romance-try this one.

Loved the book and writing but to charge 9.99 for a half-sized book is very disappointing. I don’t mind paying for a full price book but this is half the length of most novels.
Great story and writing

In December 1910 her Denver based family disowned Juliana Mitchell for refusing to marry because they demanded she do so. Instead she obtains work as a teacher at an Indian school in Stillwater Springs, Montana. She takes it personally when the school is shut. She worries about the welfare of her four students, but has no funds and her pompous brother refuses to send what is legally hers.
Widowed cowboy Lincoln Creed has failed to find a governess or for that matter anyone to care for his seven year old daughter Gracie. He knows of Juliana’s plight so offers her a deal that he assumes she cannot refuse. Juliana accepts his offer to stay at the Stillwater Springs Ranch with her students and his daughter for Christmas. As the two adults are caught in a compromising situation that forces them to marry, each wonders whether it will prove a Yuletide gift wrapped in love or otherwise.
The latest tale in the Creed saga is a terrific entry starring the legendary Lincoln and the Indian School teacher who proves to him the lightning of love can strike twice. The lead couple makes the story line starting in the general store in which Lincoln reprimands the owner for his nasty treatment of the children and his buying the tin. Although the kids especially Gracie are a bit too precocious, the audience will appreciate this strong character driven Big Sky early twentieth holiday romance.
