A Montana Christmas Reunion

by Roz Denny Fox

HOLIDAY HOMECOMING

This isn't the first time Jewell Hyatt let Saxon Conrad go. When they were teens, she broke up with him so that he could pursue his country music career. Now, pregnant after their unexpected reunion, Jewell must prepare herself to let Saxon go again. Her heart may object, but she refuses to hold him back.

Music never completed Saxon the way Jewell did…and still does. He's ready to settle down, and a baby on the way makes his decision that much easier. The only hard part will be convincing Jewell to give him a chance. All of Saxon's dreams have come true, except the most important one—a future with the woman he loves.

2.5 stars

This just did not work for me. I thought the romance was flat, there was no chemistry between the protagonists, and there was too much telling and not enough showing.

Jewel & Saxon were neighbors & childhood best friends & lovers. After high school, Saxon goes to Nashville to make it big as a singer and asks Jewel to come with him. She ends up turning him down because her dream is to become a veterinarian and stay home. 10 yrs or so later, Jewel is sent by Saxon's uncle to deliver a letter to him at one of his concerts. Saxon is very happy to see her as he has never forgotten her and has written songs about her. Jewel on the other hand, not so much. She wants to hightail it out of there ASAP but because she is stuck in a storm, she ends up in bed with Saxon (who thinks it's a beginning to their happy ever after), hightails it out as soon as the deed is done and gets pregnant. Weeks/months go by and Jewel refuses to answer any of Saxon's messages. Throughout the rest of the story, it is all about Saxon wanting a relationship with her and she not so much. I was looking so forward to this story as I love these type of themes, but by the 2nd chapter I was ready to call it quits and ask for a refund of my hard earned money! Why you ask? The heroine got on my last nerve with her whiny, selfish behavior. This couple was supposedly soulmates when they were teens and each deeply hurt by the split. However, I honestly could not see what Saxon even liked about this chick - much less loved! Not only was the chemistry & romance nonexistent (after that one sex scene they never again made love), but the whole story turned flat.

I thought the book was contrived and the reason the couple had broken up was weak. Jewell was emotionally stunted and kept pushing Saxon away. There was little chemistry between the two main characters. I was disappointed because romances between singing/actors and "real people" are a favourite of mine.

I enjoyed the book for the most part, but the ending felt rushed and left me unsatisfied. It’s like the author was given a “wrap it up” signal and just put the story into fast forward, skipping some of the best parts.

Ugh Christmas in the title, but summer for most of the book. Last chapter was Christmas time. Not what I was expecting from title and cover. Didn't really care for characters.

This was a good book, I fell in love with all of the characters. I am excited about reading the other books in the series.

Love ,music and country make for a great story.Love the stories that feature a specific town and each next book gives you more about that town and the people.
