Another heartwarming, romantic family story from Susan Mallery! Julie Parker inherited Parker Towing from her father. There's nothing she can't do, and being a woman in a traditionally male business doesn't stop her from being financially successful. After her ex-husband dies, her two adult children convince her to spend another Christmas at their luxurious, roomy "cabin" in the woods. Julie had been hoping to lay low over the holidays with Heath, her younger new boyfriend, getting to know one another better. But she goes to the cabin, and before long what was to be a small family gathering gets much bigger, as she ends up inviting in-laws, old friends, and even the ex-wife and children of her boyfriend. Each person she invites has their own story, so there is a lot going on, but Susan Mallery manages to make us care about each character and want to know how their story ends. I look forward to recommending this great title to romance readers who enjoy good family oriented stories with appealing characters.

A favorite author has written a page turner about a family wanting to spend Christmas together to honor a deceased father. A mishmash of characters, somewhat like a soap opera, keep this novel moving quickly. It is somewhat confusing...trying to keep the characters apart...which ones are the moms...which are the kids...adult kids at that...throw in a cabin at Christmas...along with some family members who don't get along...and there you go...a story that is quirky yet poignant. Curl up in a cozy chair...grab a cub of steaming herbal tea...enjoy an afternoon with these characters. Thanks Netgalley.

This was such a good book! I loved the characters, and their story. The dialogue was realistic and enjoyable. I was very surprised by the ending!

I enjoyed this book. It was fun to read. It was romantic and funny. I had tears in my eyes from the laughter and because it was emotional. I'm grateful that netgalley and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review.
