Each new read from author Lynne Marshall is a treat, and in the case of "Their Christmas Miracle", her second book set in Charity, Montana, it's a holiday gift. This novella may be short in length, but it is a story you will long remember. Hunter Wood strives to overcome the painful images of his past by working hard to make a success of his own little eatery in Charity, Montana. Having served his time for the accidental killing of a man during a tragic hunting accident, Hunter wants to keep moving forward. His baker for the diner, Tracy Blevin, carries the sadness of her parents' unhappy marriage, along with her own divorce and other failed relationships. Tracy is also a registered nurse, and Hunter volunteers at a rescue ranch where animals find safety and shelter from abusive situations. They have loving hearts, but have yet to find their own true love. Working side by side, friendship and respect have grown between them--is there a chance for something more? When tragedy strikes once again, and Hunter finds himself the care provider for his infant cousin, Adam, Tracy helps in any way she can. Part of her own heartache is her longing to become a mother, and baby Adam is so very precious. With the holidays fast approaching, emotions are high, and there is much to deal with--Hunter must obey both the law and the traditions of his Native American heritage when it comes to keeping custody of baby Adam. Can Hunter and Adam help Tracy overcome her lack of faith in herself and find a happy future for them all? Will a tiny baby, so innocent and vulnerable, truly be "Their Christmas Miracle"? This is a wonderfully poignant contemporary romance from a gifted storyteller, and let me add this: "Food, glorious food, wonderful food!". This holiday tale is tastefully tempting! Be sure to also read "Her Baby, His Love", Book One in the "Charity, Montana" series.

I have not read the first book in this series but after reading this book I wouldn't mind reading the first book. The main leads, Hunter and Tracy were good. Although, I do have to say that someone kind of stole some of the spotlight from them. His name is Adam. Going from having a prison record to being a father to Adam has left Hunter clueless. Luckily, he had Tracy to help him. She is kind.

As far as romance goes, there was no movement until more than the half way mark. From there kisses were stolen. The chemistry between these two was sweet. That is exactly how the whole story was...sweet. Kind of like a dash of Debbie Macomber thrown in the mix. This book will get you started in the holiday mood. ( )

This is a lovely Christmas read. The characters are believable and easy to relate to. I love how the author kept the theme of Christmas throughout the book. The settings and descriptions just made me want to move in next door and visit the diner! ( )

I received a copy of this book from LibraryThing in exchange for a review.

A truly beautiful Christmas story about two broken people who, through the appearance of a baby in their midst, find a way to trust, to love, and to commit to each other. Both touching and redemptive, this story will bring forth the true meaning of Christmas. ( )
