Cross-Country Christmas (A Silver Buckle Brides Romance) by Laurie Lewis – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Cross-Country Christmas by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a wonderful Christmas romance which had me hooked from page one. CC Cippolini takes a temp job to drive a custom car, a Tesla, across the country but following a crash into a cattle fence finds her plans changing, just over Christmas. CC finds herself at the home of the owner of the now broken cattle fence, rancher Reese Brockbank. Reese is happy for CC to stay with him but he’s determined to keep his distance and not let another women upset his life. However, when CC begins to decorate his sterile house for Christmas and turns it into a real home with her warmth and joy, Reese finds his defences are being worn down. But, CC’s story doesn’t quite add up and as Reese questions her, CC puts up her own defences. Both of them are still harbouring pain from their pasts but will they take a chance at love with each other. I loved CC and Reese as they are likeable and relatable characters who just have instant chemistry. The descriptive narrative brought both the characters and the setting to life and I felt engaged with the story. The storyline had me happily turning the pages and the plot twists and turns kept me gripped until the end. I was taken on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this festive novel, and I was cheering the couple on hoping they would get their HEA.
