The Deputy's Holiday Family by Mindy Obenhaus
(Rocky Mountain Heroes)
Book 2 of 5: Rocky Mountain Heroes
In this inspirational romance, a single mom is reunited with her high school crush, a local cop who may be the father of her orphaned niece.
Lacie Collier is determined to give her niece, Kenzie, the best Christmas! But Lacie’s got her work cut out for her when they spend the holidays at her Christmas-averse mother’s home. With his focus on keeping his own mother’s holiday traditions alive, sheriff’s deputy Matt Stephens is surprised to see his old friend Lacie back in Ouray. He’s always regretted that their friendship became strained after he started dating her sister in high school. But it’s pure shock he experiences when he sees Kenzie, whose uncanny resemblance to Matt is undeniable. This Christmas will bring new memories for Lacie and Matt . . . if they can open themselves to the possibility of love.
This is Lacie Collier and her young niece, Kenzie's story.
This is Matt Stephens and his father's story.
Coming home had never been so bittersweet.
Lacie Collier tapped her brakes at the Ouray city limit sign, observing the snowcapped mountains that closed in around her.
Okay, so her trip home in February for her sister’s funeral ranked right up there, too. But this was different.
She glimpsed the brown-eyed little girl in her rearview mirror. The last nine months had been quite an adjustment period for both her and Kenzie.
And while her niece seemed to finally be adapting to life without her mother Lacie was still struggling to balance motherhood and work.
A tactical vest with a plethora of pockets covered his tan shirt and she caught the name on his badge as the sunglasses came off. Stephens.
One look at his dark gaze and her insides cringed. Obviously, she was wrong, because things had just gotten worse.
Out of the five Stephens brothers, why did it have to be Matt? The one who’d been her good friend through most of high school and the one she’d secretly crushed on...until he started dating her sister.
I recommend reading.
The Deputy's Holiday Family by Mindy Obenhaus is a wonderful well written 5 star book.
I am looking forward to reading more books by Mindy Obenhaus.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book.

I have to be honest. I don't usually enjoy Love Inspired novellas. They are two short, there's no world building and everything happens so fast. So when I recieved this as a book swap...I was skeptical.

However, I am so so happy to say that I was wrong!

Both of these stories were well thought out, beautifully written and completely satisfying! I absolutely loved them!
