Christmas Room Book Review

I was at the library and this was in the new release section so I couldn't pass up this fun cover.  I wasn't sure if it was something that I read but I figured that the worst was that I would just return it.  I looked it up and I hadn't read it so it went straight in the to read pile.  The Christmas Room by Catherine Anderson was finally the next book in my pile so I got to read it. 

The beloved author of the Mystic Creek series gifts readers with a novel of homespun holiday cheer, as two families discover the joy of hope and redemption....

Widow Maddie McLendon has uprooted her life to move to Rustlers Gulch with her son and grandson. But as a brutal Montana winter looms on the horizon, contractors have yet to break ground on their new house, leaving them to live in a makeshift camp of trailers, tents, and sheds....

Since his wife died six years ago, millionaire rancher Sam Conacher has been content to wallow in his grief alone while keeping a tight rein on his twenty-six-year-old daughter. But now the girl has gone and fallen in love with his foolish new neighbor’s no-good son....

Maddie and Sam will never see eye to eye on anything, until a near-tragedy gives them a true glimpse into each other’s souls. And as the first snowflakes begin to fall, they’ll discover that an open heart is the biggest gift of all....

Kirstin Conacher is trying to have her own life but her father Sam is making it very hard.  She has to sneak out of the house and try to meet people.  One night sneaking out to the local bar, she meets Cam McLendon.  Cam is new to town so didn't know who Kirstin was but he sat down and had dinner with her.  They quickly hit it off and realized that they were neighbors.  Many of the people that Cam has met told him not to mess with his new neighbor because he likes to protect his daughter and ruin anyone that crosses him.  Sam finds out about the lying and comes to confront Cam but finds his mother, Maddie, instead.  Sam quickly upsets Maddie who fights back.  There is a a fight brewing between these two families but you have to pick up the book to find out what happens.  I haven't read a lot by this author but when I got this book, the author did seem a little familiar.  I think that I might have to check out more by this author.  I hope that you check out this fun book and enjoy it as much as I did!!
