Christmas Flowers is the second in Sasha Summers’ The Draegers of Last Stand, Texas. I love second chance romances. Christmas Flowers did not disappoint. The timing might have just been perfect. I’m ready to be reading holiday romances.
I loved Macon and Charlotte. Charlotte is the one that got away and Macon is not ready to see her leave when she returns to their hometown. While Charlotte is helping run her grandmother’s flower shop, she realizes she’s feeling differently about Last Stand.
Christmas Flowers has me ready for all the holiday romances.
I love reading books based in Last Stand, TX it’s like coming home again. This is the second book in The Draegers of Last Stand series. You can read each book as a stand alone but why do that when you can enjoy delish Cowboys in one of the best fictional Texas towns. In this book we get to catch up a wee bit with the Draegers but mostly with Macon as it is his story. This is Macon and Charlotte’s second chance at love and what a wonderful book it is. I can see this book made into a movie so easily esp with Charlotte’s grandma being ever the matchmaker.
Christmas Flowers by Sasha Summers is book number two in the Draegers of Last Stand. Texas. This is Macon Draeger and Charlotte Kraus’ story.
Macon and Charlotte were likable characters. The story moved a little slow for me but was a sweet romance.

I received this arc in exchange for an honest review. This was the second book in the Draegers of Last Stand, Texas series. I previously read the first book so I was thrilled to read this one about Macon Draeger and his high school sweetheart, Charlotte, the one that got away. This was a sweet romance with some angst between the couple as both wonder if Charlotte will stay in Last Stand.
Charlotte had learned that her job as a traveling photo journalist was in jeopardy due to problems at her company. She also is thinking that after 9 years of going all over she’s ready to take a break. She had agreed to return to help in her grandma’s flower shop while she took a cruise before Christmas. Macon still is in love with Charlotte and would want her to return to Last Stand for good. Charlotte has some exciting plans to update the flower shop and sets out to accomplish the things she has seen during her travels around the globe. Unfortunately, the shop is old and there’s issues with its being a historical property and faulty wiring and other building issues. Macon as the fire chief has to enforce the code violations and issue fines to Charlotte. Her grandma suggests hiring a reliable company MD to fix the problems. It turns out it is Macon’s company and the two then spend a lot of time together.
Macon has been offered a really good job 2 hours away but he doesn’t want to take it if there’s a chance between him and Charlotte. This adds to the angst of what Charlotte plans to do too. All of the characters are very likable. It is cute knowing the grandma has played matchmaker. I really enjoyed the story, the characters and the Last Stand community. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

Charlotte is coming home to help her grandmother for a little while and she knew her paper was being bought out by another company but what she didn’t know was that she might not have a job. She decides she isn’t going to worry about that until the time comes.
Grammy has decided to take a cruise so she has asked Charlotte to come home and run the flower shop and watch her little dog Fern for her while she is away. Charlotte does without question. She also decides to spruce up Grammy’s flower shop while Grammy is gone. She starts making changes and doesn’t know that she is going against historical codes. So Macon, her ex boyfriend, is the Fire Marshall and has to write the violations and issue them to Charlotte since he is the Fire Marshall.
Thoroughly enjoyed the book with all the matchmaker’s hard at work. Loved Amy and Jilly. Loved the characters, the story line and was a little disappointed when the book ended. Not how it ended just the fact that I was now finished and leaving family and friends behind.
This is a nice sweet Christmas romance There is nothing outstanding about it but it is also a pleasre to read Perfect for the holiday season

You will have to read to see if these two have a future together
Christmas Flowers by Sasha Summers is a sweet Christmas romance which a strong second chance theme. It has one of the nicest hero ever in Macon. The saying, “Nice guys finish last” may be how he feels when it comes to Charlotte. She returns home after globe trotting because of her work to find that he is indeed still waiting for her.
I really couldn’t see how this gypsy woman was going to be happy in the long term with this family man but Ms. Summers works her magic on them. Well written plot in the Last Stand, Texas setting it is an enjoyable story with a satisfying happy ending, just like one should have at Christmas or really anytime.
An ARC of the book was given to me by Tule Publishing which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This is such a sweet, lovely and cute story about second chances that I adored! There is just the right amount of tension involved in rekindling love for anyone who cherishes touching stories.

I really love reading about the goings on in this town of Last Stand, Texas.I love the characters Macon and Charlotte working together to improve the flower shop turning it into a flower cafe.Love this second chance Christmas romance.
A very sweet Christmas small town story. Charlotte and Macon were sweethearts and thought to be together forever but Charlotte wasn’t ready to settle down. She had so many desires to see more of the world than her town. She goes off to pursue her dreams but comes back when her grandmother asks her to watch her flower shop so she can go on vacation. Being back in town, seeing Macon again and having a matchmaking grandmother makes Charlotte rethink what she wants out of life. Lets not forget grandma’s dog. A cute warm story
3.5 Stars A sweet heartwarming Christmas read with a matchmaking grandma, her dog, busy bodies in town and family. Macon was a hometown kind of guy and everyone loved him. Charlotte was his high school love that he let go to fulfill her dreams. She was like a butterfly needing to spread her wings and fly. Her job taking her all over the world. Charlotte comes back to help run her grandmother’s flower shop while she goes on a vacation. Never imaging a possible second chance at love with Macon. Will she settle down in this small town and stay? Overall it was a pretty good read. Though there is no passion, sparks, fire etc… between the characters which made the story a let down for me.
