The Mechanics of Mistletoe, book #47

 

Well, I wasn't ready to move on from my sweet little series I was reading through this Christmas, but it was a book club book and I try very hard to read what is suggested.  So I did.  It was very confusing at first, as based on the cover it looked like the main characters were your typical young folks. But no!  The girl was in her late 30s and the guy was in his early 40s!  So that threw me right there.  I think if I had of read this at a different time I might have enjoyed it more, but it also doesn't mean I'm going to read the other 13 books in this series.  However, I did realize I already have one of them purchased in my Paperwhite content.  It might not be so bad to read during another time of year.

Bear Glover can be a grizzly or a teddy, and he's always thought he'd be just fine working his generational family ranch and going back to the homestead alone. But he's had a crush on Samantha Benton for a while now, and he's decided it's time to do something about it.  But his first date with Sammy is a spectacular disaster. He's embarrassed and doesn't call her back, but when three tornadoes hit Three Rivers, his first thought is of the beautiful woman he'd really like a second chance with.  Sammy feels like she has to be the strong one in her family. Ever since her sister and her husband died, Sammy's taken care of Lincoln, her sister's son, and her aging parents. And three tornadoes?  They've only added the weight of the world to Sammy's shoulders. School's been canceled, and she has nowhere for her eight-year-old to go.  Bear knows exactly what to do with an eight-year-old boy on a ranch, and he offers to take Lincoln up to Shiloh Ridge Ranch with him every day. Bear has a lot of contacts in town, and he's able to help Sammy and her parents get cleaned up and back in their houses in record time. In fact, Bear has an answer for everything—which only makes Sammy feel weak. And she hates nothing more than feeling weak.  (picture and description from Amazon)
