Sugar Creek, Vermont is the last place Jackie wants to be. Until she meets Austin. Jackie Hobbs loves the job that lets her travel the world attending comic conventions and playing games until it prevents her from reaching her mother before she passes away. As an only child with no core group of friends to depend on, she dreads a lonely Christmas. The last thing she wants is to go to Vermont as her mother planned, but it's the only way to get the letters her mother left her. Austin Fletcher has lived in Sugar Creek, Vermont his entire life. He's dedicated to his family's cabin rental business even though he'd rather be in the mountains on an adventure. This Christmas he's tasked with leading a tourist on a special scavenger hunt. It's not snow-shoeing or cold-weather camping, but he's soon captivated by the kind-hearted woman. Jackie never thought Sugar Creek would be the perfect place to say goodbye to her mother, but with Austin's help, she's learning to smile again. And who knows, he might be the one to give her heart a new home this Christmas.
This was the second book by River Ford that I have read since I read Catch Me If I Fall first and then backtracked to this one. I really enjoyed getting to read Jackie and Austin's story after reading about them in the Darcy's story earlier. This series is really good and I enjoyed getting to know more about the Fletcher family in this book. The end of the story was really sweet. I look forward to reading more from this series including the upcoming book about Brandon Fletcher and Summer that is supposed to come out in June 2024 Memories of Summer.
I received a free eBook copy of this book via StoryOrigin and am voluntarily leaving a review.
