A Merry Mountain Christmas by Trish Milburn

Posted October 15, 2018 by Marsha in Christmas Romance, Contemporary Romance / 0 Comments

Heidi Forrester has it all–a new promotion, great friends, and plans to purchase a condo. But when her Christmas plans don’t pan out, she instead vacations solo in Merry, Montana–a picturesque mountain village where it’s Christmas year-round. Charmed, she jumps at the chance to join the festivities by assisting the incredibly handsome but understaffed owner of A World of Christmas, a two-story wonderland of Christmas decor, and finds more holiday spirit and fun than she ever did at glamorous resorts. 

Ben McNamara can’t believe his luck when the beautiful visitor to his store offers to fill his seasonal help vacancy. Even more fortuitous, she’s a marketing genius who can help him make A World of Christmas more attractive to potential buyers. But as the date draws close for him to hand off his family’s legacy, Ben realizes that maybe it wasn’t the ever-present Christmas atmosphere that had bothered him, but rather the fact that he’d never had anyone to share it with. 

Can Heidi convince Ben there’s so much more to love on Yule Mountain than just Christmas?

Given the political tone in my country lately (USA) I rarely watch the news, the radio stays silent because I simply do not want to be bombarded by the negativity and hate that seems to flood the airways these days.

So I have four “escape from life routes” that I’ll take if I’m not reading.  Yet, by far my preferred escape is through the pages of a book.
