About the book:
As a teenager Juliet
Swanson couldn't wait to get out of her home town of Glenville, WA and move to
the big city. She moved to California to attend college, and then went to work
for a large corporation. It didn't take her long to realize that clawing her
way up the ladder at others expense wasn't the life she wanted. She moved back
to her home town, fell in love with the 'family feel' of living there and has a
close knit group of girlfriends she shares everything with. Now if she could
only find a way to make her dream career a reality she would have it all,
except for Mr. Right.
Colton Weatherly is a
city guy who eats and breathes his career as a project manager for a
acquisitions corporation. He is assigned to acquire the Glenville Ski Resort,
along with the Schwartz Christmas Tree Farm. By his estimation it will be an
easy close, and he plans to wrap it up in one short weekend. What he didn't
plan on was butting heads with Juliet, who is not the average 'local girl.'

The review --
This is a nice book, a
fun light read, that has a nice Christmas theme running through it. It's a nice
story of 4 friends who decide to buy the local Christmas tree farm, and set up
their own business.
Of course, there is
romance involved, in the way of the representative of a company that has other
plans for the Christmas tree farm. There are, needless to say, bumps and jolts
along the way of this romance; but it all culminates in a happy ending.
If you're wanting a
fun romance to read over Christmas, this book will fill the bill.
