A touch of ginger. A dash of spice. A cowboy and a pastry chef… A recipe of naughty and nice. Spending the holidays with her brother after hitting a crossroads in her career, Rachel Murphy keeps her dream of owning a pastry shop alive by creating custom gingerbread houses for clients in a small Montana town. And her Christmas wish list keeps growing this year—a bigger kitchen, a family, a place to call home…and maybe someone to share it all with. When handsome dude ranch owner Nate Vaughn grants one of Rachel’s Christmas wishes—offering her a workspace of her own—she can’t refuse. As they grow closer, Rachel and Nate find more than pastries heating up in the kitchen. Is mixing business with affairs of the heart a recipe for disaster? Or will all of Rachel’s wishes come true?

Excellent story

Another Montana Born Books story, at first I kept thinking this must be the same writer under different names as the large number of characters kept cropping up until I found their website where I found several different writers. The story, again is romantic fiction but not too sweet, the leads take a while to get to know each other and we are able to build a mental picture of what is happening...or about to happen. I hope this series continues as I am enjoying seeing the inter-play between the characters taking shape across several books. It's different!I've not been to the USA only seen pictures of rural Montana, makes me feel I'm there; experiencing the crisp,cold snow, the big landscapes, the ranch houses and the community.

Good read

Good read

Family ties

Beautiful story involving family ties and huge let downs by so called friends. Sweet romance that kept me riveted the whole story.

wonderful

This book caught my attention from the start! I love the whole idea behind Nate trying to get her to stay although I might agree with Ty that it wasn't the best way. Definitely a book to read if you want a Christmas romance.

A love of a lifetime

Absolutely loved this story of Rachel and Nate getting together. Rachel had been disappointed in business and love previously, Nate always seemed to put the ranch above everything else. That was until in he met and fell in love with Rachel and they found their happily ever after.
