Cross Country Christmas by Laurie Lewis

 After a messy breakup, CC Cippolini agrees to deliver a self-driving Tessla to Las Vegas just as a way to get away from the bad situation.  However, crossing the mountains of Utah, she falls asleep at the wheel and crashes into a fence owned by the rugged and handsome Reese Brockbank.  CC's arrival brings light and goodness into his life that he realizes he has been missing since his divorce six years ago.  Their relationship develops quickly, and soon they are wondering if this could be what they both have been looking for.  The road to Happily-Ever-After, however, is never easy, and there are a lot of issues from their past they have to work through before they get there.

I think this is the first time I have read anything from Laurie Lewis.  It was pretty much romance cotton candy.  It is by Covenant Book so it is PG rated, and there is a lot of Western style wish fulfillment going on here. Reese is not only handsome, he is also really kind and rich, plus his family is also really nice and incredibly supportive. CC is beautiful, effervescent and also really kind. There are moonlight rides on horses, and befriending a mother deer and her faun, lots of sweet, meaningful kissing scenes, and everything warm and fuzzy that you can think of.  It is a Hallmark Christmas Special in print, so if you are in the mood for that, this is the holiday read for you.

P.S. I promise this is the last of the sappy Christmas stories for this year.
