Dear Santa,It's me, Jillian Wilkes. I just did something totally out of character: I spent the most glorious night of my life with a stranger named Shane Hollister. Fast-forward three weeks. The sexy cowboy with the sweet smile left me with an incredible, life-changing gift….
Hey, Santa,
Houston ex-cop Shane Hollister here. I'm still reeling from the news: I'm going to be a father! Ever since Jillian delivered her bombshell, I've made up my mind to really get to know the Texas blonde. And what better place than my ranch in Brighton Valley? Now the top priority on my wish list is to let go of the past and make a future with the family I've always wanted!

    I think this book was amazing if you didn't finish, shame on you. But damn this book was delicious and had me jealous of her life. I loved the fact that they tried to make it work and it did because of their smoking sexual tension.

    My only thing is if you are reading this book and are like this is like my relationship all I can say I was yelling at the book telling them to COMMUNICATE. Maybe its cause I talk so much but never a thought in my head that I don't say. Most bad thoughts get deleted but none the same they should have talked much more.

    Very good book. I liked the fact that Jillian made sure she told Shane about the baby, though she was a little hesitant since she didn't know him well. She also knew that she needed to get to know him better if they were going to have any chance of raising the baby together. Her biggest trouble was her trust issues due to her ex cheating on her. Meanwhile, Shane hadn't been able to forget Jillian, and knew he wanted to see her again. When he found out about the baby, he knew they would have to get better acquainted. So he invited her to stay in Brighton Valley with him. They got closer as they spent more time together. His issue was that his ex-wife had hated his job and his family, and he didn't want to get involved with someone who would be like that. I liked the way that they really listened to one another, once they got past their insecurities.

    I enjoyed this book and it was the first time I read anything from this author. Jillian decides to tell Shane about the pregnancy and then she waits several months before actually telling him. I found that to be very annoying. Shane Hollister was a very likable character and sexy willing to do anything to make it work with Jillian. I thought the connection between Shane and Jillian was great. This was a cute and short read it is worth checking out !!

    So boring I didn't bother finishing. At page 136, I thought, "Why am I wasting my time?"
