Have Yourself A Crazy Little Christmas by Megan CraneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I haven't read any of the Greys of Montana series before (although I have read Cody, when it was billed as being part of the Extreme Bull Riders of America series) but I didn't find this a barrier to enjoying this book.
Devyn Voss' flightly man-crazy mother has decided to celebrate Christmas and her 50th birthday with a difference this year. Instead of the extended Grey family descending upon Devyn's grandparents they are all coming to Jackson Hole, Wyoming for a week of festivities. Oh, and she has also invited all of her numerous ex-boyfriends!
Devyns' sister was supposed to be helping (by which we mean doing everything) their mother organise the festivities but, as usual, she has ducked out at the last minute citing pressure from her super secret job in Washington (note to self, musty read THAT book). Devyn is the dependable daughter, the one who clears up her mother's messes and sorts out the practicalities of sleigh rides and clearing up after parties.
Arriving at the airport Devyn is greeted by Vaughn Taylor, her almost step-brother when she was 17/18 years old. His father lived with her mother for two years before they broke up. As teenagers Vaughn and Devyn were always needling each other, although both were also attracted to the other. Now Vaughn has grown up and is looking mighty fine!
Vaughn is a successful songwriter in Nashville but he has come to this ridiculous gathering to stop his father making the same mistake he made a decade ago, falling for the disaster magnet that is Melody Voss. He has no intention of tangling with Devyn but her complete lack of knowledge about his job and success piques his attention, her piercing blue eyes and jet black hair also grab his attention.
Is Devyn and Vaughn's secret affair just for the holidays or could it be the real thing?
I love Megan Crane's dystopian novels and I enjoyed her bull-riding foray but this is my first straight-out romance. As usual she brings her own twist to a holiday romance, full of insights into the characters' psyches and quirky characters.
Thoroughly enjoyable holiday novella.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
