Review #21: A Stone Creek Christmas by Linda Lael Miller

Synopsis/Review:

Olivia O'Ballivan is a vet in Stone Creek, Arizona. Her ability to communicate with animals makes her quite successful at her chosen profession, which she throws herself into with abandon. Tanner Quinn, a friend of Olivia's brother, has moved to town to complete a building project (a new vet clinic that Olivia's brother commissioned.) Olivia and Tanner meet under auspicious circumstances when Olivia's dog leads Olivia to Tanner's barn. There Olivia meets Butterpie, Tanner's daughter's horse, and proceeds to help the horse heal from emotional trauma.

The book also includes Tanner's daughter, Sophie, who desperately wants to come live with her father, not stay at boarding school, a lost reindeer, and a Christmas tree salesman named Kris Kringle.

This book is a fast-paced, traditional romance novel. There is just the right amount of suspension of belief required. And it has the right amount of Christmas fuzziness. I would recommend reading this book during the holidays to help bring a dose of Christmas cheer to a dreary winter day.
