Blurb:
Billionaires, cowboys, and romance collide during the holidays in this next book in the River Ranch series!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year at the Ford family ranch. Will one cowboy’s homecoming be the greatest gift of all?
He left town and never looked back.
Cody Ford is a Wall Street honcho with humble Texas roots. This holiday season, he’d be content to just stay in New York and not face his family―and dodge their questions about when and with whom he plans to settle down. . .and if he will do so back at home. But his father isn’t getting any younger, and Cody doesn’t want to miss any last chances to see him and the rest of the folks back on the ranch. The last person Cody was expecting to see? His one-time girlfriend, Lexi Murphy, who’s been working as his dad’s new live-in nurse.
She never forgot him. Can she ever forgive him?
Lexi still holds a grudge against Cody. Back then, the college-bound heartthrob believed he was too good for a small-town girl like Lexi. But now Cody can’t help but see her in a whole new light. Could it be that this beautiful single mother with an unbeatable can-do spirit is the one he’s been waiting for all along? That depends on whether Cody can prove to Lexi that, this time, he means business―and if a sudden snowstorm can lend just the right amount of Christmas magic to help move things along. . .

JaM Review: 3 Stars
Thank you Net-Galley and ST. Martins Press for the copy of this book. I am choosing to review it. The reason this is getting 3 stars is that several parts in the book seemed a bit rushed for me, but it was still a good read.
I enjoyed reading about Lexi and Cody and the rest of the Ford family.
Lexi and Cody were high school sweethearts, but one day Cody left with out saying goodbye and broke Lexi's heart. Lexi is now working as Cody's fathers caregiver and she thought it was all going good until one day Cody shows up to spend time with family with what could be his fathers last Christmas.
Will Lexi and Cody be able to move on from the wrong doings and the heartbreak and co-exist for the little time they will have to be around each other or will everything fall apart and leave Lexi looking for new job.
I need to go back and read the other 2 books in this series as I felt a connection with the other family members.
The one character that I truly loved is Harry, the son of Lexi. He stole my heart from the beginning.
