Sweet and clean holiday romance
Christmas with the Sheriff by Victoria James is a very well written sweet and clean romance set during the holidays. This one has a lot of elements that make romances so appealing to me. Genuine characters that have an inner strength despite all the hardships that life can sometimes throw at them. Julia suffers a tragedy heartbreak that would devastate anyone and Chase’s hardships from childhood and into his adult life is no less daunting. I love how this author brought them together creating a sort of second chance romance and a lifetime of happiness.
I’m hooked on the characters of this series and I cannot wait to continue discovering how each of them find their HEA.
this is the 1st Shadow Creek, Montana novel.
it is the story of Julia & Chase.

Chase has helped Julia through the loss and also helped her to leave. Now she is back and he doesn’t want to lose her for a second time.
Julia enjoys spending time with the single sheriff and his young daughter. the more time she is around them makes Julia wish she could put the past behind her and start a new life. Can Chase prove to her that they are good together? Can they be a forever together?
I love this story of healing from a loss. It shows finding a love that was thought to be impossible.
Wonderful Christmas time setting.
The loved the story line even if at times you knew where it was going the feelings of the charactors in the story kept you wanting more and you couldn’t wait to go with them on the journey. I love LOVE!!
Julia lost her husband and son then discovered her husband was cheating on her. Unable to bear the pain, she left town. Now she’s back. Chase was the sheriff and Julia’s husband’s best friend. He’d always had a thing for Julia but wouldn’t dream of acting on those feelings, not while Michael was alive. But circumstances have changed.
This was a sweet second chance type romance. I really liked the characters and Chase’s daughter was adorable. Would definitely recommend.
This is close to what I’ve seen in real live. I love the way the author thinks of life. She has my thumbs up.
An enjoyable read.
Very good!!! Highly recommend especially during the holiday season.
Really enjoyed this book.. so glad they got their happily ever after!
Loved the series
