Christmas Network #2
Return to Christmas, Texas: A Christmas Network Novel
When veterinarian, Jules McCowan’s best friend marries Santa Claus’s oldest son, Jules has no idea that her life is about to change forever. It’s been less than a year since she found out that Santa is real, reindeer can fly, and that Santa Claus traded in the snowy North Pole for the sunny, mostly snow-free Texas Hill Country.
Chris Van De Berg likes being Santa’s second son. He’s inherited all of Santa’s charm with none of the responsibility. When St. Nicholas blessed his family with eternal life, he was also blessed Chris with the gift of compassion. He can look into a person’s heart and feel what they feel … except for Jules McCowan. When he looks at her, all he sees is the person he’d like to spend the rest of his life with.
His Christmas wish has always been to find his soulmate.
Now that he has, how’s he supposed to get Jules to fall in love with him? Around her all of the charm he’s used to get people to do exactly what he wants is completely gone. In fact, he can barely get two coherent words out so how’s he supposed to convince her that they belong together? Plus, if they do get married, she’ll will have to leave her life in the real world behind forever.
When Santa asks Jules and Chris to fly to France to check on Pere Noel’s donkey, they leave immediately.
Chris has forty-eight hours outside of Christmas, Texas to persuade Jules that she’s his destiny. If he doesn’t return to Christmas, Texas within forty-eight hours, he’ll never be able to return again and The Spirit of Christmas will die.
Will Jules take a chance on Chris and leave her life behind? Or will Chris have to choose between her and The Spirit of Christmas?

Santa and family living in Texas?
Katie Graykowski always makes me laugh wen I read any of her stories especially when Santa Claus moves the North Pole and his operation to the Texas Hill Country!
Return to Christmas, Texas has a veterinarian Jules McCowan helping a donkey in France and she falls in love with Chris Van De Berg who is the second son of Santa Claus. The book is short, sweet and funny especially the description of Santa as a winter Texan.

Fun characters and great story
It is a sweet, quick read. These are great characters but I wanted to get to know more about how these two fall in love and what it looks like when they get back to Christmas, Texas. I love that she has a huge heart to help animals and he can use his gift to help her understand the animals too. There is a lot of history in this story.
