Gray Everett has a heart of gold but that doesn't mean he believes in the magic of Christmas. He's got plenty else to worry about this holiday season, what with keeping his cattle ranch in the family and out of the hands of hungry real-estate investors looking to make a down-and-dirty deal. That, plus being a parent to his young and motherless daughter, equals a man who will not rest until he achieves his mission. Now, all Gray needs is the help of his lifelong neighbor. . .who happens to have grown into a lovely, spirited woman.
For Abby Douglas, the chance to join forces with Gray is nothing less than a Christmas miracle. Much as the down-to-earth farmer's daughter has tried to deny it, Abby's been in love with stern, smoking-hot Gray her whole life. So when Gray proposes a marriage of convenience as a way to combine land--and work together toward a common cause—Abby can't refuse. But how can she convince Gray that sometimes life offers a man a second chance for a reason. . .and that their growing trust and mutual passion may be leading to true and lasting love?
This book starts off with the "bright" idea of a modern-day marriage of convenience. What we get is insecurity issues, family problems, and a my-way or no-way marriage.
Gray is the cold, iron-fisted ruler of his domain. I suppose he had his moments but they were far and few in between. Abby is the forlorn, good-natured woman caught up in the idea. To be honest, she was apprehensive and I felt she deserved better from the beginning. But all is not lost there is an HEA, for those of you (like myself) that always needs one.
However, that does not save this book. I lost interest with Gray's cold demeanor, the heavy storyline, and slow-pace. It just didn't read......Christmas.
