About this listen
Home for the holidays
Hope Nichols has never felt as if she belonged anywhere except her hometown of Pine Gulch. So when she hears that her family's property, Christmas Ranch, is set to be shut down forever, a determined Hope heads home. She refuses to let the Grinch steal her holiday - this will be the most memorable ranch Christmas ever! And, thanks to hunky former navy SEAL Rafe Santiago and his adorable nephew, she might just pull off that miracle.
Rafe is undeniably drawn to Hope and her passion for rebuilding her family home. But he knows more about Hope's tragic past than even she herself could imagine. And though she doesn't know it, she owes him her life. And all he wants in return is for her to spend it with him....

Such a great and sweet Christmas Story
RaeAnne really did great writing with this story. I loved how sweet and intense the love was in this story. A few times I thought okay here we go it is going to “jump the shark” but it never did. Instead I fell more in love with the characters in the story.
Yep this is why I love reading RaeAnne Thayne books. What isn’t there to love. Other than you read them too fast!
