What a great book. If you gotta be snowed in without power, it should be with hunks like Boone and Mack! Two stories in one book about two sisters. Kelley runs the ranch, and Amelia manages the homestead. They're managing quite well without any men around the place, even though their Grandmother might not agree!

There is nothing more beautiful then standing on a stage with a band and looking out on the dance floor and seeing all these figures twirling around and around. 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3… The figures bob and weave, skirts swirling. Okay, so I like dancing.

My Opinion: A good story, enjoyed it being situated in our beautiful Banff area of Canada. Luca Fiori is a romantic Italian and has quite a reputation of a playboy. But after spending time with him, hotel manager Mariella (Mari) Ross isn’t sure who the real Luca is. Mari is a very frightened and private person who is just trying to create a life for herself.

Yes, I know I'm biased since Donna is one of my two twins (along with awesome author, Kate Walker--and yes we know three twins is a bit of an oddity!), but her story in Montana, Mistletoe, Marriage was a perfect holiday story. Two wounded souls who find not only each other, but a magic holiday!

Loved it!

Lovely story set in a toney resort in the Rocky Mountain town of Banff, Alberta. I happened to be in Banff while I was reading it, which made it even better! Highly recommended.

This is a 2 in 1 book, with the first book, Snowbound Cowboy, written by Patricia Thayer. The second book, A Bride for Rocking H Ranch, is written by Donna Alward. These stories are about two sisters who had been raised by their grandmother on a ranch in Montana. It's almost Christmas, and Kelley has taken Grandmother to the city for a surgical proceedure.

Thayer starts this two-novellas-in-one with Snowbound Cowboy. This vintage Thayer has a mistaken identity theme going for it. A Bride for Rocking H Ranch by Donna Alward caps this two-fer. She writes so much emotion into her stories and this story is no exception. Mack is such a lovely hero for this troubled heroine, but he brought me to tears during the black moment.

Mariella escaped her battered childhood and rebuilt her life as manager of the Bow's Inn Hotel, which recently had been sold to the Fiori family and was to become the Fiori Cascade. Then Luca Fiori came in to evaluate and bring the hotel up to family standards.
