The book started out slowly but soon it was wonderfully heart warming and ended lovely. The author created well developed characters and an excellent plot. A perfect holiday read! I loved it and recommend it.

FTheir Christmas Miracle is a light, sweet small town Christmas love story. Set in Texas, this story is all about learning to respect yourself and trust others. Of course it’s about love too. Hunter is an ex-convict who has established his own café business. He’s a whizz in the kitchen, but questions whether he’s good enough for Tracy. She’s hardworking and loyal and has been attracted to Hunter from the first, but with one failed marriage behind her she’s not keen on getting involved again. Throw in baby Adam, Hunter’s godson, who he takes custody of when AdM’s parents are killed in a car crash and the whole picture gets even more:complicated.
I enjoyed reading this story though at times the pace slowed right down and I disengaged. Having said that I liked these two and cared that they’d find their own happy ever after.

A well written story with nice storyline and plot. Characters are well described and develops nicely through the book.
A man trying to solve his past to get his HEA. A sweet romance that is worth the read.

If you are looking for a sweet story then Their Christmas Miracle by Lynn Marshall, book two in her Charity, Montana series. Hunter, an ex-con, wants to be respected for who he is a talented cook and diner owner. Tracy is a nurse and an extraordinary baker who has not had the best of luck in finding love. Since she is a nurturer, she wants to feel needed. She enjoys the time she spends with Hunter when she uses his kitchen to bake her pies, beginning to care for the man. When a winter car accident leaves Hunter’s godson an orphan, he takes in the ten-month old and learns about becoming a father with the help of Tracy. As complications occur, Hunter and Tracy are encouraged to admit their attraction and love for each other and become a family, filled with love.

I really enjoyed this sweet love story and had trouble putting this book down, reading this book in one day. Ms. Marshall wrote a lovely story that drew me in, making me forget the world around me and not letting me go until I turned the last page. I definitely recommend this book to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

This was a unique Christmas story.

Hunter is a Native American who suddenly finds himself with his baby godson. The aspects of his Native heritage were interesting. Hunter is close to his grandmother, who is called Knows Much. That’s the perfect name for a wise grandmother! I would have liked to see more of Hunter’s family. I think they would have made for some fun plot twists.

Hunter runs into problems with being his godson’s guardian because he isn’t 100% Native. The baby’s full Native grandparents think they have more of a claim on the baby, who is also fully Native. Hunter has to find a creative way for him to be able to keep the baby.

The Christmas theme was a nice background to the story. It emphasizes the family image that Tracy is looking for, and the new family of Hunter and Adam. The Christmas season really brings people together, like Hunter and Tracy.

This is a really fast read. It’s great to read over the holidays!

Their Christmas Miracle by Lynne Marshall is a nice story with a everyday feel to it. It´s about to people that each as a history that they need to deal with before they can each move on.
To me, the story has a very everyday feeling over it, and that makes it a little slow in some places. It´s a nice story but I like more fast paced stories on a general basic. A good basic Christmas story.

Do you love Hallmark Christmas movies as much as I do? Then you will LOVE this charming story about how tragic circumstances can bring two unsuspecting people together. Tracy has just purchased her dream cabin and is happy with her quiet life working at the hospital and making pies on the side to supplement her income and her love of baking. Hunter is enjoying watching his young restaurant thrive after a shaky past and doesn't take a single day for granted. He has been letting Tracy use his kitchen to bake her pies, but because of their conflicting schedules they rarely cross paths. Until a tragic accident disrupts their quiet lives and Hunter must learn how to deal with his new version of normal life. This beautiful story of selflessness and love is exactly what you need this holiday season!

A feel-good book brought from tragedy. This heartwarming story will steal yours. Hunter and Tracy were perfect characters. This author has a way of writing that makes you feel like every word is real and the story becomes believable. Loved! Book gifted to me by NetGalley.

Lynne Marshall writes with emotion and feeling. Their Christmas Miracle is the 2nd story in the Charity Montana series and worth the read. Hunter and Tracy share the kitchen in Hunter's Wood's Cafe. Hunter and Tracy meet at a friends wedding that they both catered. Hunter the food and Tracy the desserts. Tracy believes that there is a spark when they met. But by May when it seems to fizzle Tracy chalks it up to her typical love life. But with her being older she shrugs off the attraction. As Hunter and Tracy get to know each other better and start to get more attracted to each other and fall in love. They learn each others secrets and then decide to do catering jobs together.and move in together and with a child in the mix things get complicated and the end up apart for a while and during the time realize how they feel for each other and keeping promises to each so that they wouldn't loose each other again. As always it seems love conquers all and especially during the holiday season.

This was a sweet little Christmas book, but it needed more too it I guess. I mean, overall it had a good story, but I never really cared for the characters or what happened to or for them. They had chemistry I suppose, but it just wasn't the book for me.

This was an incredible sweet read that was perfect to read during the Christmas season. I enjoyed this story from start to finish.

Great premise going by the blurb, but not really a huge amount I can say on this one as it wasn’t really my cuppa. Overall I found myself bored by a couple who didn’t really bring much romance or particular depth to the table.

Unfortunately the book was not for me, no review was publicly posted on Amazon, B&N, Goodreads or Twitter etc, so no ratings were affected in relation to it.

I really didn't get on with the writing style in this one, the H/h felt more like inexperienced singletons in their fifties than their thirties. The dialogue was stilted, the writing old fashioned, and it all just lacked any emotion. Not for me on this occasion, even the addition of an orphaned baby didn't warm my heart on this occasion.

I find this story cute. Forgive me for calling a story what involves loss cute but a baby serving as a cupid between these two endearing characters is definitely cute FOR ME.

Hunter was jailed because of an accident but during his time in prison he learned to cook which he used in business when he got out. Running a breakfast and lunch diner in Charity, Montana, she's helped by Nurse Tracy. Nurse by day and baker for Hunter by night. And in the last six months their relationship changed and it's obvious the attraction between them is growing.

And then an accident happen leaving a baby an orphan, Hunter as Godfather stepped in to take the baby. But what does he know about babies. LOL. So he turned to Tracy.

It is cute. First of I must state that I love every love story that involves a baby. I love babies in general. Okay I'm gonna stop myself now before I admit how I love pinching babies' cheeks and cuddling them and.... Okay sorry.

I really liked how the the romance between Hunter and Tracy blossoms. It isn't instant. We were told how they've spent nights working and thus how their attraction starts. The novel showed how little by little the two of them took each step until they can't help but to be really together.

Sure the story starts a liitle slow for me, but it caught up. And things really get better with Baby Adam. How he stole the scenes. :) And seriously Hunter got another ten points from me when it become more obvious how responsible he is by taking care of the baby. :)

Overall this is a perfect book for this season. Go get this book and have a blanket on the couch facing your fireplace. Too bad there is no winter in the Philippines where I live. :) But Christmas is everywhere.

Tracy Blevin, an RN, bakes pies, on the side, for townsfolk and Hunter Woods to serve in his diner in Charity, Montana. Both have a past of secrets that tend to overpower them. Hunter accidently killed another hunter while hunting with his cousin, and subsequently spent time in prison, where he learned to cook. Tracy grew up in what she thought was the perfect, loving home, only to find out when she graduated from high school that her parents were not in love with each other, had been living a lie and had stayed together only for her sake. Shortly after that, she married her school sweetheart, but divorced a short time later. Both are trying to resolve their past difficult histories and move on with life. Early on, Hunter’s cousin and his wife are killed in an auto accident, and Hunter becomes the custodian of their infant son, Adam. Baby Adam soon becomes a big part of both Hunter’s and Tracy’s lives, as they both acclimate themselves o having a baby around. Hunter and Tracy also are fighting a mutual attraction for each other. Can they get over this as well as their own haunting pasts and make a home for baby Adam?

Though this was not a very long book, it definitely was a satisfying one. The author managed to flesh out the main characters well in a short time. I felt the chemistry between Hunter and Tracy and between the pair and little Adam from the start. I loved watching their relationship grow in the small but inviting, town of Charity, which made a perfect setting for this story. The story takes place during the Christmas season, though this does not overpower the tale, a task many others do not succeed at. Nevertheless, it does have a prominent place in everything. This is definitely a great Christmas season story that will usher the reader right into this holiday season. The author deserves credit for accomplishing so much in a sort novella. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quick seasonal romance read or for anyone who enjoys good romance. I received this from NetGalley to read and review.

An accident changed Hunter Wood’s life, resulting in him spending time in prison for his mistake. Whilst there he developed his love of cooking that he’s continued to develop after his release, so much that now he owns and runs his own breakfast and lunch diner in Charity, Montana. He is helped in this endeavour by Tracy Blevin, who works as a registered nurse during the day and then cooks pies for Hunter’s diner in the evenings. They’ve been business partners for more than six months and, although both are attracted to each other, they’ve never been more than partners. Then a tragic car crash leaves Adam, Hunter’s ten month old godson, miraculously physically unharmed but an orphan. Hunter takes responsibility for the baby. He’s never had much to do with babies and turns to Tracy for help and advice . . . . but with the attraction between them growing, maybe this miracle baby can help play cupid for them?

This is a very emotive read, with tragedies, a very insecure couple and a scene stealing baby.  It is a moving story of life after loss, celebrations and fun Christmas events and about taking risks in the hope of achieving your own HEA. The characters are well developed and portrayed, making them both believable and easy to empathise with. At times both main characters definitely have an inner battle between their heart and their head, so much so I wasn’t always quite certain which would win out in the end! It is a story of so many people having a second chance and a delightful festive read.

I requested and received a copy of this novel, via NetGalley. This is my honest review after choosing to read it.

I enjoyed this sweet romance. While everything took place over a short period of time their lived seemed to evolve naturally as well. The story line was a unique twist on the man suddenly having to raise a child trope and I liked the introduction of the Native American storyline. All and all an enjoyable quick read.
