Holiday Hope by Shanna Hatfield
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hooked on this series from page one of this book!
We meet Cora Lee as she’s beginning her travels. After losing both of her parents and making the choice to become a mail-order bride, she is on her way to Holiday by train. She becomes close with Anne – who is traveling for the same reason – and the two go through quite the ordeal when the robbers come onto their train car. Once the women finally arrive at their destination, she is greeted by the father of her husband-to-be (Grant) and not the man himself. First red flag! The ranch is lovely and the family is even better. I love Mae and the fact that she is a “tell it like it is” type of person. Jace is sweet and silly, but hardworking and determined. Grant has his heart in the right place considering all that he has been through, but he made some poor decisions that could have potentially ruined Cora Lee’s life going forward. Anne and her new husband are an adorable couple and it brought me joy that she found happiness in Holiday. Jace and Jude could not be more different in personality, but in looks – it may be hard to tell who is who. After seeing both men’s true colors, it became apparent what the end result SHOULD be. But did it work out the way we all hoped? Read and find out! It’s the perfect story for a one-night read during the holiday season. I cannot wait to dive into the rest of the series.
