My review:

The Firefighter’s Christmas Promise is part of the Smokey Mountain First Responders series. It was a fun and clean small-town romance for childhood sweethearts to have a second chance at romance. The book was straightforward and has charming characters, especially Becks’s daughter, Pippa. She was adorable and made me laugh a few times with her comments.

“Our past molds us into who we are, but our future is what we make of it.”

Becks and Carlos were engaged until Becks was accepted as a player with a professional soccer team. Rather than discuss how to make their relationship work, Carlos broke off the engagement. He regretted his decision immediately but he didn’t want to hold her back. His dream was to be a firefighter like his father in their small hometown of Hollydale. Now she is back, and they have a second chance at love if they can do the one thing, they didn’t last time; learn how to communicate with each other.
This was a wonderful second chance small-town romance which was easy to read and the perfect book for a cold wintery day.

The Soldier's Unexpected Family

(Heroines of Hollydale #3)

By Tanya Agler

Adult Contemporary Romance

Paperback & ebook, 230 Pages

March 1, 2021 by Harlequin Heartwarming

He had a plan…
She changed it all!

Major Aidan Murphy arrives in the charming small town of Hollydale to take full guardianship of his six-year-old nephew. Only there’s a slight problem—his vivacious, fiery co-guardian. School teacher Natalie Harrison has no intention of letting Aidan take her best friend’s heartbroken little boy away. Now Aidan must convince Natalie that blood is stronger than love…even if his heart tells him otherwise.

My Review:

Rating: 5/5

The Soldier’s Unexpected Family is the third book in the Hollydale Heroines series.  This was a new-to-me author and if fact I did not realize it was actually part of a series until I started reading the book.  I do not feel that reading it as a stand-alone was a concern though… although now I think I will go back and read earlier books.  Of course, characters from the previous books were included and some events referenced but overall, they did not affect this book.  The book was paced perfectly and flowed smoothly.  The small town of Hollydale and its citizens were charming and full of warmth.  I loved the feeling of friendship, good-naturedness, and openness they showed Aidan, a stranger in town.  Having lost most of his family, Aidan Murphy was committed to raising Danny, his half-sister’s son.  He was not expecting to fall for Natalie or grow to love Hollydale.  Natalie had taken on the guardianship of her best friend’s son, Danny, and knew her best friend wanted him to grow up being surrounded by those who loved him in Hollydale.  Her heart was torn trying to make the right decision for Danny’s future.  I really enjoyed this book.  It was a heartwarming small-town romance that leaves you smiling after reading it.
