My Thoughts:

A delightfully emotional Christmas romance!

Lila has recently lost her mother and faces her first Christmas alone. Instead of surrounding herself with festivities, she chooses solitude—and maybe a few answers. She’s always known she was adopted, but being a Christmas Day baby, she feels drawn to uncover her beginnings. Her only clue? A handmade baby blanket that leads her to the snowy town of Pine Ridge, Colorado.

Spending Christmas at Pine Ridge Inn is nothing like the quiet escape she planned. The guests are immersed in joyful traditions and community activities that Lila initially resists—but soon, she begins to open up. That sense of camaraderie, laughter, and shared moments becomes exactly what she needs.

Among those she meets is Brady, the inn’s down-to-earth (and incredibly charming) manager who seems to have his hands in everything—from repairs to making sure guests feel at home. His warmth and steady presence slowly break through Lila’s guarded heart.

Lila’s journey is both tender and emotional. She grapples with grief, identity, and the longing to belong. Yet through her time at Pine Ridge, she discovers that sometimes family isn’t about shared DNA—it’s about the people who show up for you when you least expect it. Her story unfolds like a perfectly wrapped Christmas gift: emotional, hopeful, and filled with quiet joy.

Publisher’s Blurb:

This heartwarming small-town Christmas romance set in the snowy Colorado mountains is perfect for readers who love cozy Christmas stories with found family and unexpected holiday romance.

Lila McAllister has built a successful career as a hospitality consultant, but this Christmas she isn’t chasing five-star ratings, she’s chasing answers. Facing her first holiday alone, she sets out to find the birth mother who gave her up for adoption on Christmas Day thirty-four years ago.

Her only clue is a handmade baby quilt that leads her to Pine Ridge Inn, a cozy mountain retreat in Colorado. But what begins as a quiet search turns into something much more when she’s drawn into the charm of the town’s festive traditions and the warmth of a found family. Then there’s Brady Hanson, the inn’s handsome but protective manager who challenges her need to control every situation.

As Christmas Eve approaches, long-buried secrets come to light, forcing Lila to choose between the carefully built life she left behind and the family-and love-she never expected to find.
