About this ebook
It’s Christmas in the cozy Western town of Caribou Crossing, the season for homecoming, forgiveness, and—just maybe—the gift of a fresh start…
As the holidays approach, the air is filled with the festive sounds of bells chiming and carolers singing. Maribeth Scott loves Christmas, but she’s pretty sure that after years of waiting, Santa isn’t finally going to gift her with Mr. Right. In fact, the only thing she truly wants for Christmas is a baby to love. At thirty-nine, she’s determined to become a mother and she will make it happen, even if she has to do it on her own.
When Mo Kincaid returns to the rustic town after almost twenty years away, he’s seeking redemption from his checkered past. The last thing on his mind is romance, and he’s certain he doesn’t deserve it. But now there’s irresistible Maribeth, showing him the true spirit of Christmas and winning his heart. For the first time in Mo’s life, the future looks bright. Only one thing stands between them: Maribeth’s deep desire for a child and Mo’s conviction that he’s too flawed to be a father. Is his world-weary heart ready to take the ultimate leap of faith?

Susan Fox
Susan Fox grew up with her sister, Janet, and her brother, Steven, on an acreage near Des Moines, Iowa where besides a jillion stray cats and dogs, two horses, and a pony, her favourite pet and confidant was Rex, her brown and white pinto gelding. She has raised two sons, Jeffrey and Patrick, and currently lives in a house that she laughingly refers to as the Landfill and Book Repository. She writes with the help and hindrance of five mischievous shorthair felines: Gabby (a talkative tortoiseshell calico), Buster (a solid lion-yellow with white legs and facial markings) and his sister Pixie (a tri-colour calico), Toonses (a plump black and white), and the cheerily diabolical naughty black tiger Eddie, aka Eduardo de Lover. She is a bookaholic and movie fan who loves cowboys, rodeos, and the American West past and present, and has an intense interest in storytelling of all kinds and politics, which she claims are often interchangeable. Susan loves writing complex characters in emotionally intense situations, and hopes her readers enjoy her ranch stories and are uplifted by their happy endings.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is my first book by this author and the last book this author has written in the Caribou Crossing series. It is the story of Mo Kincaid’s journey back to the place he left his wife and child in hopes of apologizing for his abusive behavior of both of them and also the up and down love story between Mo and Maribeth Scott. Maribeth is nearing 40, has dated for many years without finding “the one” and feels the need to have children with or without a husband. When she is on the verge of artificial insemination 50 year old Mo walks into her life and instant attraction occurs. Maribeth’s vision for the future may not be Mo’s leaving much for the two of them to work out before they can have a happily ever after. For some reason I did not warm up to the two as a couple and easily see them together. I did like Caruso the New Guinea singing dog and had to look the breed up online to learn more about them. Very interesting wild dogs indeed! This was a story of change and redemption and family in a small community. Everyone in the story seemed to be related to or know one another very well. There were many people to keep track of along with their relationships to one another that might or might not have been easier to keep track of if one had read previous books of the series. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
