Oct 22 Christmas at Copper Mountain by Jane Porter

  
 
Christmas at Copper Mountain   by Jane Porter
Love this book and feel so bad for Harley who's trying her best to move on. She'd lost her spouse and three children in a plane crash and it's been several years. She takes a job at a ranch to keep busy during the holidays and not think about fun and festivities she had shared with her family.
There are the men in the bunkhouse who she cooks for, and does their laundry, also Brock, the owner of the ranch. She does well to keep busy with the big house and 4 bedrooms along with the meals. She's concerned when he leaves one night o find a missing calf and it's during a winter blizzard. Hired hands also show her love for what she's done for them throughout her stay there.
Brock is a hard shell to crack and keeps rules because it means order and no fun or clutter.
What's more is the twin children of his show up and she had no idea he even had kids or they'd be there. Now she has to leave, she can't be near children and festivities.
She can't leave for at least a week so they make cookie cutters and then the sugar cookies. When Brock shows up for dinner he sees the happy faces on the children. Then the kids get hurt with snowballs and there is blood.... Harley really fits in with whole ranch scene.  A medical emergency sets them into a different way of thinking: Amy his spouse had died and is taking care of her kids in heaven. She sent Harley there to take care of the children.
Faith, hope, grace and miracles can happen... love outside even when it explodes with color.
Romantic, heartache, holidays theme and everyday ranch life during the holidays.
Can't wait to read more from the author.
Received this review copy from Tule Publishing via Booksprout and this is my honest opinion.
