This week’s neglected book

Holiday in Stone Creek: A Stone Creek Christmas / At Home in Stone Creek by Linda Lael Miller

Series: Stone Creek #4 & #6
Publication Date: October 25, 2011
Publisher: HQN Books

A Stone Creek Christmas

Stone Creek veterinarian Olivia O’Ballivan communicates easily with animals, but men are another story. Especially rugged architect-turned-rancher Tanner Quinn. Olivia’s uncanny bond with his daughter Sophie’s pony has him questioning her sanity, while she wonders if he’s not just a drugstore cowboy. Then twelve-year-old Sophie conspires with Olivia to get Tanner into the spirit of Christmas. But will a holiday miracle transform the globe-trotting Tanner into a rancher—and family man—for all seasons?

At Home In Stone Creek

Everyone in Ashley O’Ballivan’s life is marrying and starting families—except her. But why bother dating when no one can compare to Jack McCall, the man who left her heartbroken years ago? Now he’s back in town —and maybe he isn’t who she thinks he is.

While recovering from a dangerous mission for the DEA, security expert Jack rents a room in Ashley’s bed-and-breakfast. For both their sakes, he tries to keep his distance, though neither can deny the growing spark between them. But when his past catches up with him, he’ll have to leave again…just as he realizes where he’s always belonged—in Stone Creek.

Why did I add Holiday in Stone Creek to my bookshelf?
I bought this book back on Christmas day in 2011 for my Kindle.  There was a time that I read a lot of Linda Lael Miller’s work so I was pretty excited to read this one.  It has been buried in my Kindle account for almost 8 years.  It sounds like it has a couple of nice Christmas stories so I think I should make sure I read it before another 8 years passes by.

What are your thoughts? Have you read this book?  Would you recommend it to others?

    Wow, that one *has* been buried in the Kindle for a while. 🙂 I've never read anything by Miller but I used to see her books everywhere. She was (is?) certainly prolific. Hope you enjoy it!

    Well I don't read this author and I think of her mostly as a Western writer. I like Western so I might go on a tangent of Westerns sometime. But books I purchase go to the TBR of doom. It seems like now might be a great time to read these holiday stories though!

    I think I might have read this one but a lot of her books kind of blend together. If I did read it I know I enjoyed it because I always enjoy her books! I hope you are able to pick this one up. It looks like perfect Christmas reading!

    Haha, we both picked an old buried Holiday one. I love the looks of her stories and I can't wait to see what you think of these when you get the chance.
