I’ve picked up several romances recently, both by best sellers and others, and haven’t managed to get past the fourth chapter. This book grabbed me by the heart from the get-go and didn’t let go until the end. Cole’s flaws especially made this a wonderful story, and much of the joy stemmed from watching him battle them and overcome them. Devin is also an incredible, compassionate character, and she stole my heart immediately. Packed with graceful, breathtaking descriptions, small town charm, and heartwarming Christmas cheer, this book has turned me into a RaeAnne Thayne fan. Evergreen Springs was my first book by Ms. Thayne, but it definitely will not be the last. Highly recommended.
