Sarah Larsen was dumped on her grandma when she was young. So young, in fact that she can’t even remember her mother. But it wasn’t a perfect life. Her grandmother cared for her out of obligation more than anything else and it wasn’t a loving home. But her grandmother kept her in line, telling her all about the sins of the flesh and how a man could ruin her. Which could explain why she finds herself to be a virgin at the age of 30. But Sarah is determined to change all of that now!
Sarah has decided to gift herself with a one-night stand as an early Christmas gift. But the local bar is full of just that, locals. Locals that know her and know that she’s a little odd. But then a sexy stranger walks in and changes her life forever!
Walker Callahan has traveled from Texas to make the final arrangements on the ranch he’s buying for him to move to Silver Creek with his young daughter, Kayla.
Once Sarah ran out on Walker on that fateful night, she never expected to see him again. What a surprise when she learns he is the father of her new student! Can their indiscretion stay in the past?
I’ve heard good things about this series, and decided to check it out for myself. It was a nice sweet little read, but suffers from being a novella. Things being a bit rushed at times and just not delving as deep into the story and emotions as I would like to see.
I understand that Sarah is a goody-two-shoes thanks to the way that her grandmother raised her. But I felt she was a little too much of a goody-two shoes. It was over the top, making it unbelievable. She dresses like an old lady, doesn’t drink, or smoke, doesn’t date, and is too prim and proper to even cuss in her thoughts! It really made me wonder what Walker could have seen in her! Thank goodness she’s a fictional character because I don’t think finding someone for her would have been nearly as easy in real life!
Walker was an okay character, but I would have liked to have seen more development with him for me to truly appreciate him and what he brings to the table.
This was a nice sweet story to read before the holidays, but just don’t expect a whole lot going in. It’s a novella after all. The true test will be when I read a full-length novel from this series! Stay tuned for that!!
