Blurb:
On the run with two small children and a third due within weeks, Adeline
Spencer fears the approaching blizzard will seal their fate. An abandoned cabin
is an answer to her prayers. She hopes it will shield them from both the storm
and the enraged brother-in-law hot on her tail. But when a stranger knocks at
the door, she is convinced they have been found by one of Ward’s lackeys.
Blamed for the death of his friend, Sheriff Jonah Hale is determined to prove himself worthy of his badge, even if it means riding into a blizzard to check on a crazy miner. When Jonah reaches the cabin, he’s caught off guard by a pretty and very pregnant young woman wielding a skillet. Bound to a chair while the storm rages, and as Christmas settles in around them, he must find a way to earn Adeline’s trust…and perhaps her heart.
Review:
I loved the very idea of this one. A widow taking the sheriff captive but it didn't end the way i'd expected. Lots of snow, a very different Christmas, and a few twists and turns on the way make this book a delight to read. it's already back in the TBR pile.

And her fave part of Christmas? - Everything!
The decorating, the baking and the Christmas movies (except Elf)...and I

too ;)
