My heart needed this beautiful story! CC is on a journey of self healing when she crashes her car into a cattle fence in a remote town. Reese owns the fence and rescues CC, offering her shelter in his home. While awaiting the repair of her car, CC and Reese find themselves each facing a difficult past, thus putting distance between them.

I loved CC’s playful, Christmas loving character. The way that she tried to lighten the environment and make it magical is so relatable. I am a lover of Christmas Spirit and would want to create Christmas joy just like she did. Reese seemed to be the strong and silent type, but his story is so complex, it was wonderful to see his layers revealed. I love that Laurie Lewis was able to sprinkle a little faith in there, and bring the love of God to her characters! This story made me feel like I was watching a movie, like I was actually there with Reese and CC. I would love to see their story continue, I NEED to know what happens next!

Cross-Country Christmas by Laurie Lewis is a sweet and heart-warming romance that was fun to read. What a better time and place to set a Christmas story with cowboys and a ranch. I enjoyed the teasing banter and witty humour between our characters which was fun to read. This story has a little bit of everything with hope and forgiveness, tragedy and pain, family and friendship, hurt and love.
The story is about two souls healing and second changes but to get there there needs to be forgiveness. As much as I liked this story there are a few unanswered questions.
CC is trying hard to leave her past behind her and make a new start for herself. Reese has been burnt and has trust issues. So when they literally crash into each other’s lives they need to heal and maybe, just maybe than can do it together.

CC is lost and alone, wanting to change her life she decides to take a journey her father had dreamed about but sadly passed away before he got to take it. So when a opportunity comes along to deliver a Tesla car to Las Vegas she jumps at the chance.

Reese is broken, with a failed marriage behind him and his families responsibilities he is just surviving so when he and his friend are riding the fence line and spot a Tesla in the middle of his fence his anger rises, but when he looks into the car and sees an angel, can she melt his cold, broken heart.

They two of them have there demons but can they overcome them and find love and light in each other.

This is the first book I have read by this author and loved it, it’s not often you get a romance book which is about emotions and feelings but this book touch my heart. CC is lost as she is all alone with no family, losing her father was hard but since that day she has lost her purpose in life until she meet Reese. The story is a slow burn and delves into the both lives and insecurities of both characters which drive the story along.

I loved the secondary characters and the relationships which were established and created within the story. I loved this book and can’t wait to delve back into the world of the Silver Buckle Mine or the The Brockbank’s in the next book in this series.

Have you ever just wanted to pack it all up and drive across the country to start over in a new city? This was the whole reason CC decides to take a temporary job driving from Chicago to Las Vegas, but fate would put up a few different obstacles before she could finish the trip. Reese is content living the bachelor lifestyle on his cattle ranch with little time for holiday cheer. Together they both must learn how to trust not only each other but themselves if they want to move past the pain from their pasts.

Laurie L.C. Lewis has written a beautiful story about taking a chance not just on love but on life. There are some twists and turns along the way which help to take this book to the next level. The beginning few chapters were a little slow which stopped me from giving the book a 5-star review but it is definitely a solid 4.75 star read! Highly recommend this to anyone who wants a quick read (less than 5 hours) and a wonderful feel-good Christmas story.

I loved this holiday romance story. This is an author I never hesitate to pick up. Her stories are well written and her attention to details give her stories a realistic feel. This book is no different. It pulled me in from the beginning by the characters. They are relatable and brought the story to life. They are written with heart and soul and bring the spirit of Christmas. This is a story about CC and Reese. CC just wants a new start and Reese ends up saving her and bringing her home. What will happen next? They both have pasts and have gone through pain but now faced with something different, a chance at happiness. I enjoyed the growth of these two characters as well as the growth of the plot throughout the story. They have great chemistry and truly made the story for me. This is a great heartwarming holiday story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend it.

When CC Cippolini is offered a temp job driving a custom car across the country, she leaps at the chance to leave Chicago, put her past in the rearview mirror, and make a fresh start. But one car crash and broken cattle fence later, CC ends up at the home of ruggedly handsome rancher Reese Brockbank.
Reese doesn’t hesitate to rescue the reckless woman who has crashed into his life, but when circumstances require him to put CC up in his house for a few days, he vows to remain aloof—a woman already derailed his life once.

Still, something in her story doesn’t quite add up, and Reese’s questions soon cause CC to retreat.
The pain of their pasts has brought them to this moment, but will they seize it or put the possibility of love in jeopardy?

Laurie (L.C.) Lewis is a weather-whining wife, mother, and grandma. She’s also crazy about crabs,

nesting boxes, twinkle lights, sappy movies, and the sea. It’s documented that she’s craft-challenged and

particularly lethal with a glue gun, so she set her creative juices on writing, which was less likely to burn

her fingers.

 

Born in Baltimore, Laurie will always be a Marylander at heart, but a recent move to a house overlooking

Utah Lake makes Utah her new love. Her Maryland years, spent within the exciting and history-rich

corridor between Philadelphia, Baltimore, and D.C., made her a history nerd and a political junkie.

During Laurie’s years as a science-education facilitator, she honed her research skills, eventually turning

to writing full time.

 

Cross-Country Christmas is Laurie’s thirteenth published novel. She writes in multiple genres, penning

her women’s fiction and romance novels as Laurie Lewis and her historical fiction novels as L.C. Lewis.

Laurie is currently preparing to release a WWII novel in January 2022 titled, “The Letter Carrier,” under

her pen name, L.C. Lewis.

 

She’s a RONE Award Winner (The Dragons of Alsace Farm), was twice named a New Apple Literary

Award winner in 2017 (The Dragons of Alsace Farm), and in 2018 won Best New Fiction (Love on a Limb).

She is also a BRAGG Medallion honoree and was twice named a Whitney Awards and USA Best Books

Awards finalist.
