From New York Times and USAToday bestselling Texas romance author Jean Brashear…
It’s the first Christmas in Sweetgrass Springs, Texas for several newcomers who have found a real home for the first time—or found home again. As Jackson Gallagher works to save his hometown from withering away by relocating his business empire there, the only gift he really wants is to marry the teenage … teenage sweetheart he thought he’d lost forever—but Veronica Patton Butler has other hearts to care for, however much she loves Jackson.
Bridger Calhoun is more than ready to make Penelope Gallagher his bride, but however much she adores him, Shark Girl is dragging her heels on tying the knot—which seems to be a maddening tradition among Gallagher women.
Come join the fun…the heartache…the sweetness, as Sweetgrass prepares for a community celebration that will bring the Morning Star Gallaghers and the Marshalls to town, along with several of Jackson’s Seattle geeks and more than one lost soul about to find a place to belong—
In eccentric, lovable, unforgettable Sweetgrass Springs…where hope never fades and love never dies

It was okay. Not extraordinary hence 4 and not 5 stars. This is a great rainy day quick read.
This is the only book I read in this series so I was very confused. There were a lot of characters introduced. I probably would have enjoy it more had I known the background of the characters in this book. I would recommend reading it if you have read the other books that came before this one.
I loved everything about Sweetgrass Springs. Jean Brashear is among my favorite authors. Her characters become friends as you read the series.
I read the book a year before I listened to the Audiobook. Both versions were excellent.
This book pulls Texas Rebel and Texas Blaze together. It can be read as a standalone, but reading the two books that precede it makes it so much better.
The story emphasizes what the people of Sweetgrass are all about. Everyone gets their HEA, and the kids in the book are really sweet. You also get to revisit the Gallaghers of Morning Star, and the Marshalls.

Listening to the Audiobook is even better. How the narrator managed with all of the different characters is amazing.
There is one thing I loved about the narration that I may not have clearly realized when reading the book. You not only get to revisit the characters from previous books, but if you have not read many, or any of the previous books, Jean Brashear gives very clear descriptions of individuals back stories and how the characters are all connected.
I listened to this book in during one day and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I voluntarily listened to and reviewed this audio received provided by the author.
