A wonderful story... The ending will leave readers with the desire to make return visits to Jubilee, Texas. --RT Book Reviews, 4 stars This magnetic novel unites two very different characters who find solace with each other by letting go of their fears. Rhett's transformation is believable, and Tara has just as many layers. Readers will delight in riding their emotional roller coaster. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) .. .Wilde explores the subject of PTSD with great empathy and insight...together with the author's usual superbly nuanced characters, layers of emotion, and exquisite sexual tension, and you have a heart-wrenching and heartwarming tale that beautifully encapsulates all the love, hope, faith, and forgiveness of the holiday season. --Booklist (starred review)
