Santa’s Sweetheart

Written by Janet Dailey

Narrated by Graham Winton

Love is the only cure for the holiday blues...

Sheriff Sam Delaney is shouldering a lot as the lone lawman in the small Texas town of Branding Iron—and the widowed single father of six-year-old Maggie. Especially since Maggie’s determined that what her daddy needs this holiday season is a girlfriend. Suddenly Sam is hustled off to a meeting with Maggie’s schoolteacher—and surprised to discover the demure Grace Chapman is unexpectedly alluring. Then he’s roped into playing Santa at the annual Christmas ball, with the pretty Miss Grace by his side. It’s enough to make Sam even grumpier than usual—if not for the feelings sweet Grace stirs up inside...

Grace only wants to heal after her broken engagement. So why is she so charmed by the slow smile—and the surprising tenderness—of the town’s sheriff? Maybe because Grace is discovering that beneath Sam’s gruff exterior lies a heart as big as Texas, especially when it comes to the women in his life—like little Maggie. And now her… Which only has Grace hoping she’ll be Santa’s sweetheart for many seasons to come...

Santa's Sweetheart by Janet DaileySam Delaney is the Sheriff of Branding Iron, also a single Father to six year old Maggie. His wife died unexpectedly about a year ago in an auto accident. Grace Chapman is Maggie's teacher, she is very kind, and trying to adjust (to life) after a breakup. Maggie is Sam's six year old daughter, she loves her Dad and wants him happy. Maggie decides her Dad and Grace would make a good couple, this becomes her Christmas wish, to find a way to bring the two together.A fast paced story with likable characters and an engaging plot. Sam is widowed, a good Father, a great Sheriff , but something is lacking in his life. Maggie is lovable, losing her Mother was hard, but that does not stop her from trying to find a soulmate for her Dad. Grace is likable as well. She has some troubles from her past, that seem to keep her from finding true love. Maggie trying to bring the two together is heartwarming and delightful.Overall I found Santa's Sweetheart enjoyable and feel those who love a good sweet romance will enjoy it as well. I highly recommend to romance readers and those who enjoy Christmas romance.
