My Review: 

An easy read set in contemporary Montana, with fun but unmemorable characters. This won't make my list of favorite comfort reads, but it's great for vacation.

A Creed Country Christmas by Linda Lael Miller

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Book Blurb:

Celebrate the holidays with the Creed forefathers--Montana men who built the family homestead and established a legacy of love...

In the unforgiving Montana wilderness of 1910, widowed rancher Lincoln Creed is up against more than rustlers, wolves and the coming winter storms. His young daughter has needs beyond the beans and bacon he can barely cook. Lincoln must find little Gracie a governess, a lady who can teach and cook--yet won't set her sights on him. Disowned for her refusal to marry, twenty-five-year-old Juliana Mitchell shares the love in her heart with her young students at the underfunded Indian school. When she meets Lincoln and Gracie, her response to the handsome rancher makes her realize she's not against marriage after all.

She longs to help, yet the two orphaned brothers in her care need her. But in the season for miracles, Providence just might find a way to bring Juliana, the boys and the Creed family together for Christmas Eve....

My Review:

It's Christmas 1910 in Stillwater Springs, Montana--one of Linda Lael Miller's favorite states. We revisit the Creeds in a sweet holiday story that brings a dedicated school marm and rancher together. It's an easy read with a satisfying happy-ever-after.
