Synopsis:
Melinda Sweet loved her husband before she learned of his wealth and she loves him still, despite the fact that it’s gone. Unfortunately, while she knows the collapse of his Chicago financial services business had nothing to do with him, he believes otherwise. His upbeat adjustment to their new – and temporary – life on his grandfather’s rundown honey farm is a foil to cover the burden of failure. She wasn’t expecting to throw – in five weeks – the traditional Sweet Christmas Open House, but it’s a good earning opportunity and how hard could it be?
Austin Sweet is determined to make his wife proud of him again. But he also wants to erase the sting of shame he feels from his parents, to whom he owes a debt of gratitude for arranging for this caretaking job. Getting paid to fix up this disaster is better than living in their basement, sure. But what does he know about bees? Or fixing broken plumbing? Or cleaning a chimney?
But when Austin’s grandfather gives him the farm as a Christmas gift, there’s only one response. Accepting the gift will secure a future that will make his wife even more unhappy than she already is. Refusing the gift will finalize the rift between him and his family, but he’d rather lose them than Melinda. Then he discovers she’s spared him the choice. Austin’s not-so-Sweet side rears up as he determines that he’s done trying to make everyone happy. He’ll get his wife back, no matter what. And they’ll decide their future together.
My Rating: 5 stars
My Review:
A Sweet Montana Christmas, is one inspirational romance. Roxanne Snopek has done it again with her new novel. I love how realistic the characters and story are. The way this well-written plot unfolds, readers will feel like they are experiencing the ups and downs of one couple’s journey. A love for better of worse. Decisions are super hard to make especially, when one’s family pressures their child into the life they want. Roxanne Snopek has stunningly woven together a tale of a man, who finds what he really wants and goes after it.
Deep inside, A Sweet Montana Christmas, readers will recieve a first hand glimspe into a real romance. One that will allow readers to easily connect with both of the characters. The emotional struggles feel so believable that readers will end up feeling like there are the characters. Roxanne Snopek’s novel, shows readers that romance ins’t easy and not always charming. That it can be a struggle and has it’s own rollercoaster ride like us in reality experience as well. Husband and wife are deeply in love with each other and now experiencing a bit of life’s harsh cruelities. Money is not like it was yet, the wife still loves her husband. However, he feels like a disappointment to his wife and wants only the best for her. He struggles with his family pressuring him and leaving him with two choices. Will he do what it takes to make his family happy or go after what he loves and cherishes? Readers will indeed want to read this enchanting title. I felt my heart go out to both Austin and Melinda. Overall, I highly recommend this novel to readers everywhere.
