My Rating:  4.5 stars

A Wyoming Family Holiday is the fifth title in the Back to Adelaide Creek series, this time bringing us an emotional romance featuring Bethany, a single mom and the person responsible for the revitalization of the town’s rehab and care facility, where Sloan’s father now resides after a stroke.  Bethany was Sloan’s high school crush, and it seems those feelings have not lessened over time, but now, as adults, he’s determined to do anything he can to rekindle those feelings and, perhaps, help fund the repairs to the care center… anonymously, of course.  Hmm.  Talk about a good deed backfiring!

I enjoyed watching Bethany and Sloan slowly lower their walls to allow someone special into their lives.  Sloan’s dad is one stubborn, “hoot” as my grandmother would say, and I adored him.  Bethany’s daughter, Heidi, steals every scene she’s in.  This group of people is about to become family, in the best meaning of the word, because family, whether natural or found, can make life better for everyone… especially around the holidays.

If you enjoy a sweet, holiday romance with believable characters, returning to a small town alive with unique characters, and a couple who truly do belong together, then A Wyoming Family Holiday by Virginia McCullough is a perfect Christmas gift to give to yourself.
