Description:
Waitress
and single mom Jessica “Jessie” Mann is practical to a fault.
Even if she had time to date, which she doesn’t, she’d be
determined to provide her son with a more secure upbringing than the
one she had—and that would mean a husband with big bucks. When Jack
Morrison—a sexy-as-sin, seemingly broke customer with a cowboy hat
and a seductive grin—tries to flirt with her, she shoots him down.
She doubts a carefree dreamer like Jack can provide the financial
stability she needs. Yet with Christmas just weeks away, and Jessie
not wanting to spend it alone, the charming Texan is proving hard to
resist.
As
the heir to the Morrison luxury hotel empire, Jack is used to being
fawned over. But Jack needs someone who will fall in love with
him—not his wealth. He’s set his sights on Jessie, though her
hardened heart just might get in the way…To be sure, he conceals
his true identity and offers to help Jessie find the rich husband she
seeks. But Jack’s daring charade may rob him of the holiday wish he
wants most of all…

My Thoughts and Review:
I love YA books but once in a while I
just really need a good adult romance and this was one such book.
This was a really cute story. I loved
Jack, Danny, Monica, Katie and Jessie.
Jack was such a great good 'ole
southern boy. Down to earth, charming, real, strong and protective
without being overbearing and just a really good man. Everything you
think of when you think of a Texan.
Jessie was feisty and strong and
determined. She wanted everything good she could for Danny. She was a
great mom and even though I think her views of love was sometimes a
little skewed she always meant well.
There were times when this did seem a
little unbelievable and even predictable but I still loved every
minute of it. I love really good books with a happily ever after
ending that I know I can count on to make me teary eyed and put a
smile on my face.
I was so happy to see a sneak peek to
the next book at the end of this one. I really loved Katie's
character and I can't wait to see what her story will be all about.
I give this one 4 Stars!
