A Cold Creek Christmas Story and Christmas in Cold Creek Book Review

I got another book with two books in one.  This was another great find from the library reserve.  A Cold Creek Christmas Story & Christmas in Cold Creek by RaeAnne Thayne was another book on the list that I didn't read before.  I was excited when it came in and enjoyed reading it.

A Cold Creek Christmas Story
Celeste Nichols has always preferred to keep to herself in her hometown of Pine Gulch, Idaho…until she becomes an instant celebrity! When one of her children's stories becomes a major success, she's suddenly the talk of the town. Celeste should be gloriously happy…but something, someone, special is still missing from her life. Could the return of her childhood crush be the answer?

Flynn Delaney has moved back home for his daughter's sake. Yet all the millionaire's resources can't help the little girl heal from the tragic loss of her mother. Shy librarian Celeste and her stories do hold some indefinable magic, though. Flynn came home looking for support—can he find that, and true love, in the one who got away?

Christmas in Cold Creek
She claimed to be a waitress and a single mother, but Rebecca Parsons doesn't look like any hash-slinger Pine Gulch Police Chief Trace Bowman has ever seen. And she doesn't seem particularly maternal toward her little girl, either. Still, one look in her vulnerable green eyes and his protective instincts go into overdrive.

Attention from local law enforcement is the last thing Becca needs. She'll do anything to protect her little sister Gabi from their con-artist mother, even lie about their identities. When Trace shows up at their house carrying a Christmas tree and stirring desires she can't afford to indulge, she longs to surrender to the magic of the season with him. But Becca's past is catching up—fast. Can her sexy police chief perform a Christmas miracle?


The first story was Cold Creek Christmas Story.  Celeste was writing children's books and enjoyed her small town life.  Flynn moved back to his grandmothers house to clean it out to sell it after her death.  Celeste quickly takes to his daughter, Olivia, and they bond over her characters in the books.  It was a great story about the Christmas spirit and the resilience of children.  The second book was Christmas in Cold Creek.  It was about Rebecca Parsons who comes to town and starts waitressing in the small town where she moved with her sister.  She tells everyone that it is her daughter so that she doesn't have any problems with custody.  Rebecca is raising her sister after her mother left them with lots of debt so they started over in the house that was left to her by a family member who they never knew.  Becca and Gabi are starting their lives over until things go badly but you have to pick up the book to find out what happens.  I hope that you check out the book and the others from the author.  I think that you will enjoy it as much as I have.
