A widowed father, the woman who puts his senses in a whirl, and a little girl’s Christmas wish that changes everything. Sam Behr didn’t think finding work would be so hard after moving closer to family for his young daughter’s sake. But with Christmas only weeks away and money tight, he might have to pack up, leave town, and ask for his old job back if he can’t catch a break. Giving up hope of his daughter developing strong family ties won’t be easy, but he’ll do whatever it takes to provide for her. Joanna Becker will never concede defeat where her failing family bakery is concerned. Business might be bad, but Christmas has filled her heart with hope. She knows there’s a way to turn things around before her cousin decides to sell, and she’s determined to find it. When a mutual friend suggests that Sam might be able to help, Joanna hires him on the spot. The chemistry between them is hotter than a pre-heated oven and sweeter than buttercream frosting. But the lingering grief this single dad has carried for years might be a romantic hurdle too big for either of them to overcome. After Joanna receives dire news about her bakery, Sam must choose whether to hold onto his grief or rise to the challenge and find a way to preserve a legacy. Enjoy this 2023 Swoony Award-winning, sweet, single dad, Christmas romance. Perfect for fans of Hallmark-style holiday movies and romantic reads. One night under the Christmas lights in the park. Two big wishes at the town wishing well. Three hearts destined to come together as one.

Author · 15 books

Kristen Iten is a night owl-ish author, and mother of three happy little owlets. She spends her working hours solving mysteries, bringing evil doers to justice, and meddling in the love lives of her imaginary friends. She suffers from an over active imagination, but doesn’t really mind because it helps with the whole ‘writing books thing’. She lives in a cute little town, in a cute little house, with her cute little family, and couldn’t possibly be happier. MY REVIEW POLICY: As an author, I understand how valuable reviews can be. In the past, I enjoyed reviewing books. That being said, if I couldn't leave a review with a 4 or 5 star rating I wouldn't review at all. I never downgraded a star rating based on my personal reading preferences. It is easy to spot a book that an author put a lot of thought and heart into. If I found that a book was well crafted, I happily left a positive review whether the book was written in my preferred style and genre or not. I do not review books anymore now that I am an author myself.
