She needed a change of pace. . . No one said anything about a friendly camel or a hunky mechanicCedar Haynes has a choice: change her high-pressure lifestyle, or end up dead by the time she’s thirty. Not one to do things by half measures, she quits her demanding corporate job, swaps her sports car for an SUV, and moves to the peaceful mountain community of Faraday. She envisions a quiet, peaceful … of Faraday. She envisions a quiet, peaceful Christmas, surrounding by silence and sparkling snow. When a camel takes up residence on her porch, she realizes small-town life may be more quirky and complicated than she imagined. Thankfully, the local mechanic seems to have all the answers – plus good looks, bad-boy charm, and a mysterious aura that leaves her wanting to know more.
Rhett Riggs left big city life behind the moment his small-town uncle needed his help. To make ends meet, he takes over Faraday’s one and only garage and gas station. He gets more than he bargained for, though, when Uncle Will passes away, leaving Rhett a run-down farmhouse, a wacky camel named Lolly, and a deep-rooted love for the community he considers his home. With the holidays approaching, he watches with interest as a new neighbor moves in next door. He waits for Lolly to send the woman running, like she has the last handful of residents. Only this time, if his beautiful neighbor leaves, she’ll take his heart with her.
Between spilled secrets, mistaken identities, and a camel determined to spread a little love, it will take more than mistletoe and holiday magic to help Rhett and Cedar find their happy ending.
Come along on a sweet Christmas romance adventure sure to uplift the spirit, touch the heart, and imbue the warmth of the holiday season.

˃˃˃ The inspiration for the stories. . .
The Friendly Beasts Christmas carol mentions a camel, a donkey, a cow, a sheep, and a dove. That sweet carol is what sparked the idea for this series, along with a steal-the-show camel at a live nativity performance.

This is a very enjoyable, fun and funny story with animals as a big part of this story and others to follow in this wonderfully thought out series by Ms. Hatfield.
These animals talk to each other and have their own association. That alone cracked me up. Besides trying to figure out the Christmas live nativity when they need another animal, there main goal is to find their humans a partner for life.
This first one has Lolly, the camel who can chase people moving in next door to his humans’ home as fast as she wants.
Can you imagine waking up in your new home to see a camel looking in your back door?
Cedar moves in the Victorian home her sister had renovated and completely furnished before she even moves in. She has no idea who anyone is and does see a red barn next door across the pasture but what she didn’t know is that is where Lolly lives with Rhett his human, plus a dog and cat.
You will laugh, fall in love with Lolly and the main characters and then be disappointed when all falls apart that Lolly has to stage an intervention so to speak to get Cedar and Rhett back together.
You have to get this funny, loving, exciting story that is also illustrated on the cover and the start of each chapter. I highly recommend this fun Christmas story that I don’t think you will ever regret getting it. I think you will want this whole series so go to your favorite book store on line to get your copy for now.
