About this listen
All she wants for Christmas is a family to call her own...
Being alone is especially difficult around the holidays. That’s why, when Rachel Milligan takes in a foster child for the month of December, she’s determined to make this an unforgettable Christmas for Joy.
Ex-baseball sensation Derek Rossi blew into picturesque Jackson Hole on a snowy December day. Love is the last thing on his agenda. But Derek’s world is quickly knocked off kilter when he meets the vivacious Rachel and her spunky foster daughter,
Rachel can’t deny her life has been a whole lot more jolly since Derek rolled into town. When he smiles her world is suddenly as bright and shiny as the star atop a Christmas tree.
Rachel once believed that true love comes only once in a lifetime. This holiday season she’ll discover that her capacity to love is as big as the Wyoming sky…and that a family for Christmas is the best gift of all.
It's time to light the fire, grab a cup of hot cocoa and relax with this beautiful, tender, touching novel. Pick up your copy today! ~Originally published as The Christmas Proposition, this story has been completely updated for your reading pleasure~People who viewed this also viewed...

Dear Internet: I (33F) work at a local paper, and two months ago, my editor assigned me a huge project - run the upcoming, highly anticipated Bachelor Anonymous contest. Men from all over Southern California, vying for the coveted bachelor role, submitted their personal ads to my paper. The readers voted, and Single Dad Seeks Juliet won by a landslide. Enter Mr. Bachelor Anonymous (40M), the single-dad Romeo seeking his Juliet. Blah, blah, blah, right? Wrong. This guy is the ultimate man in a six-foot-three, chiseled-muscle, freaking Adonis package with aquamarine eyes.

This book dives in well but introduces too many characters from the get, it was hard to follow at first. Then the characters relationships progress wildly fast. Desires to be a sensual book, not suitable for all ages.
