Isn’t it enough Cleora Butterfield has agreed to be her enormously pregnant BFF’s back-up birth coach? Does she really have to repeat last year’s disastrous New Year’s Eve blind date with Ross Hollister–one of said friend’s favorite people–even if the man is smokin’ hot? She has enough on her Christmas platter with planning and delivering the annual holiday pageant for her 5th and 6th … graders.Ross returns to the charming small town of Green Earth, Minnesota to get away from the rat race in New York City, where he babysits his celebrity clients. He longs for the peace and quiet the Christmas season can deliver here. So being Cleora Butterfield’s plus one isn’t in his plans–even if the woman is exquisitely tempting.If Melah, a celestial messenger, doesn’t step in, Ross’s long-held secrets and Cleo’s badly broken heart might get in the way of any hope for a Christmas romance.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This is a new author to me. I truly enjoyed this book. The characters were wonderful (especially Sadie the little girl) and the plot was one that captivated me.
I loved having this book written in my favorite dual POV format. Getting to understand both Cleo and Ross’s thoughts really helped to thoroughly understand where the characters were coming from at certain aspects in the story.
This is a sweet, clean holiday romance. I highly recommend this story to anyone.
The second book in The Green Earth Christmas Series a well written story that kept me turning pages, Melah is at it again this time Cleora Butterfield is the woman she visits with. When Cleo and Ross Hollister met a year ago they did not hit it off now he is back and this is their second chance. I enjoyed reading this Christmas story and seeing how they get together. I hope there is more to come in this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is the second book I’ve read by this author and it was an enjoyable read too. In the first book, Tristan and Jillian talk about setting Cleo up with Ross, Tristan’s former agent. We learn that it was a Disaster with a capital D, except for the kiss at midnight, lol. Ross returns to Green Earth and one of the first people he sees is Cleo, lol. I won’t leave any spoilers, but I will say you’ll love this story, if you enjoy small town books with great friends and family in them. We also get to read about Melah visiting Cleo in this book.

I was so excited to read Cleo and Ross’ story. It went above and beyond my expectations. Wonderful characters and storyline. Twists and turns on the road. Many great life lessons. A strong Christian theme with the same beloved supernatural element we were introduced to in the first book. I cannot wait to read more!

When the Heart Finds Christmas is the second book in Annalisa Russo’s the Green Earth Christmas series. Cleora Butterfield came home from Broadway several years ago after the devastating death of the man she loved. She has made a good home for herself, teaches drama at a local school, and is even casually seeing someone. Ross Hollister was Tristan Solano’s manager when he was the keyboardist for rock group Last Bluff. Now that Tristan has retired, Ross’ new role is best friend and Unca Ross to Tristan’s young daughter.
When Ross and Cleo first met it seemed like oil and water with the exception of a New Year’s midnight kiss. Now, almost a year later, Ross has returned to Green Earth to spend the holidays and await the birth of the new Solano baby. Ross and Cleo will certainly be in each other’s company again. What kind of sparks will fly?
Again heavenly messenger Melah will help find the way in this blessed little corner of the world. But the story is still full of real life issues like abuse, bullying, abandonment and overcoming one’s past. These stories are wonderful holiday fare. I did enjoy this book and I do recommend it
