The Last Chance Ranch is busy in the week before
Christmas.
The matriarch Sarah is about to turn seventy, and plans
for
her birthday include an elaborate tooled saddle secretly
purchased to order by the family. The saddlemaker Ben
Radcliffe comes to deliver the goods and gets interested
in
the fine horses for sale. It's going to be A LAST CHANCE
CHRISTMAS.
Molly Gallagher is enjoying the warm welcome at the ranch.
She's a cousin and has been compiling a family history.
Spending Christmas in the heart of the clan is an ideal
way
to finalise the genealogy and lore. She's never been a
glamour girl, as teaching history is rewarding enough, but
meeting the drop-dead gorgeous Ben is enough to make her
regret her practical winter clothes. Not only is he easy
on
the eyes, he plays harmonica better than she's ever heard.
As a family party is taking place we get to meet and hear
about many of the Chance extended family. A new reader to
the Sons of Chance series will need to take notes,
but
luckily we do not meet them all in one go. A reader
familiar with the stories will be happy to catch up with
news. Anyway, one breathless kiss in the ice-cold barn
later, Ben and Molly will take up all your attention. They
jump into bed for some no-holds-barred nookie, as the
professor finds someone outside her faculty to enjoy time
with, and the saddler finds that she's just waiting to be
awakened as a sexy lady. Ben has issues, though, which
have
convinced him that he's not destined to be a husband and
father. Is there such a thing as the right relationship
for
the two of them?
Forget that it's cold outside, the bedroom is definitely
steaming hot - what I like is that the story is about
making love, not about casual sex. Getting snowbound seems
more than desirable. Vicki Lewis Thompson has created very
genuine characters and their modern dilemmas, with
intimate
details and warm feelings to make us love them. A LAST
CHANCE CHRISTMAS will by enjoyed by all her fans and will
lure new readers into tracking down the rest of her books.
Ben Radcliffe reckons it'll be a cold day in hell before
he
considers a serious relationship or family of his own—with
good reason. When he delivers a "secret" present to the
Last
Chance Ranch, however, Ben catches a glimpse of what
family
could be. And suddenly this lone cowboy finds himself
under
the mistletoe…planting one heck of a kiss on a stunning
woman!
Genealogist and academic Molly Gallagher is all about
family. And even if Ben's secrets make him as skittish as
a
wild mustang, there's nothing Molly loves more than an
enigma. Especially a ridiculously sexy one! But the magic
of
Christmas—and the Last Chance Ranch—might not be enough to
wrangle a cowboy who can't trust himself…
