I really loved that book and I was hooked on the book right away and and I can’t answer numbers 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and I would want Rachel Hartman to be played by Lacey Chabert and I would want Levi Davis to be played by Wes Brown

Book Description: It was supposed to be a quick trip … the last thing she expected was to spend her holidays at a guest ranch with a handsome cowboy.
Freelance photographer Rachel Hartman is hired to take marketing pictures for Montana-based Canyon Creek Ranch. As an Arizona native, Rachel is enchanted by the snow that never seems to stop falling … until that snow causes the airport to close, cancelling her flight home for the holidays. Rachel doesn’t mind experiencing her first white Christmas. What she does mind is her growing attraction to the cowboy assigned as her guide at the ranch. She’s just come out of a relationship and isn’t looking for another one—especially with someone who lives several states away.
Levi Davis is busy enough caring for the livestock and guiding Canyon Creek’s outdoor excursions. The last thing he needs is to be saddled with a city girl to look after. But when Levi meets Rachel, he has a change of heart. The lively photographer captures his attention and has him wishing her stay in Montana would last longer than a few days. When a snowstorm forces the guests to extend their vacations, it looks like Levi will get his wish. But as an employee of the ranch, his hands are tied as far as making his feelings known to the woman he’s falling for.
As Rachel and Levi spend time together the attraction between them is as clear as a starry Montana sky, but can they overcome the obstacles in their path? In a place like Canyon Creek, anything is possible.
