Another fantastic story in the Whiskey River series.
Savannah and Harlan meet back up after 14 years apart. Harlan broke Savannah's young heart when he left town seemingly without a backward glance.
Now back in town, Harlan is Savannah's boss and determined to right the wrongs from the past.
As usual with this series the supernatural element of Felicity the matchmaker ghost is fun and adds light relief.
A great Christmas story.

Harlan and Savannah's tale to find a future on feelings from the past. Good addition to the Whiskey river series. Definitely a story to settle in for a good read.

Ebook from Netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

This is a great addition to the Whiskey River Christmas series. Harlan and Savannah were an item years ago but circumstances, secrets, and lies tore them apart. After all these years they are reacquainted. Will they get a second chance at love?

A sweet and heartwarming read!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

A Texas Christmas Reunion is book two in the "Whiskey River Christmas" series. I like the story and the setting and it´s a nice addition with the "spirit and lavender" that helps bring lost lovers back together. It´s a nice romance story with a good Christmas setting. I´m not a big fan of all the characters, but our two main characters are amazing.

This wonderful second chance at love was a great read. Eve Gaddy has given Savannah & Harlan a second chance at the love taken away from them 14 yrs ago. With the ghost of Felicity leading the way they were definitely on the road to reunion, even with Savannah’s father determined to get in the way at every turn. With the past now in the present Harlan isn’t surprised that he’s looking to the future with the only woman he’s ever loved. Locked doors, talking ghosts & lavender bring a chuckle to this story as the ghost of Felicity works her magic yet again on a couple that she feels belong together. Definitely recommend.

Savannah Taylor works for a construction company and is worried about losing her job due to ownership change. She meets Harlan Sullivan, her high school sweetheart, at a ball organized by her an realizes he is the new owner of the company. Savannah finds that it is one of her dear ones who drove Harlan away during high school and is still trying to run her life. A very good story, with good characters.

I enjoyed ready this amazing second chance story at love, A Texas Reunion by Eve Gaddy, book two in the Whisky River Christmas series. Harlan Sullivan broke Savannah Taylor's heart, which was the hardest thing he had ever done. Now he’s back in Whiskey River as not only the new owner of the local construction company but also as Savannah's new boss. When these unexpectedly meet at Felicity’s Christmas Ball they both realize that those long buried feelings are still very alive. Maybe it’s finally time for him to share the reason he left fourteen years ago before these two can move forward. It still takes a bit of Christmas magic from the Harwood Inn ghost to bring this reluctant banker’s daughter and determined Barrels Bad Boy to their happily-ever-after.

I really enjoyed this sweet love story and had trouble putting this book down, reading this book in one day. Ms. Gaddy is a wonderful story teller, drawing me into her books, making me forget the world around me as she drew me in and not let me go until I turned the last page. I highly recommend this book to other readers.

It is during one of these encounters that she finds out that he is the person who has bought the company. Wondering if it will be a problem to work for him she finds herself still attracted to him. She also still wonders what made him walk away from her years ago. Harlan can’t believe that Savannah is actually prettier now than when they were in school and the more time he spends with her he wants to start up with her again, but knows that if she asks about what happened back then he will have to tell her. When all of it comes out she is not ready to hear that someone close to her made him leave and has been trying to run her life for years. Now it is up to Savannah to choose her own path or stay the course. A very good story, with good characters.

Love second chance romances, and with the help of Felicity's scent of lavender, the matchmaking ghost. Harlan, has returned to Whiskey River as the new owner of the construction company and will be Savannah's new boss. He broke her heart years ago and now has to win it back. He has his job made out, Savannah will not open her heart up again easily.

Love returning to Whiskey Creek, great small town romance. Full of emotions, romance and the season of Christmas. I highly recommend this along with the other books in this series, all stand alone stories

A Texas Christmas Reunion by Eve Gaddy is a sweet, fun and entertaining read.
The storyline drew me from the first page and held me until the last.
I loved watching Savannah and Harlan get their second chance at love, these two totally belonged together.

A Texas Christmas Reunion is lovely holiday read and I highly recommend it.

*A big thank you to the publisher via Netgalley for the advance copy*

There are four books in the series, each written by a different author but all featuring Felicity - the matchmaking ghost! She was looking forward to marrying the love of her life, Drew Harwood, after he returned from fighting in the first world war. However, fate intervened and she died of Spanish Flu shortly after his return. Felicity didn’t want him to stay alone and took steps to help him and others to find their HEA at Christmas.

The series moves from 1918 to the present day and features three friends who live in Whiskey River - Savannah Taylor, Rachel Wilson and Avery Burton. Now the notorious three bad boys from the Barrel area of town,  Harlan Sullivan, Elijah Lane and Logan Calloway have returned to town having, against the odds, made a success of their lives. In each of the next three stories in this series the focus is on one of these couples and the first couple are Savannah and Harlan who were secret lovers as teenagers until Harlan unexpectedly broke their relationship off just days after they first made love. She was understandably devastated and has been reluctant to trust anyone with her heart ever since. Now he's bought the construction company where Savannah works. How will she cope with her first love's return? Will the chemistry between them still be as volatile? Why did he leave? Can Felicity work her lavender scented ghostly influence on these two to give their love a chance?

As soon as I saw the author, I knew I'd love this story! She has a great way of bringing characters to life within the pages of her story and she did just that in this sweet second chance romance, too. The drama of secrets from the past being revealed, how Harlan is prepared to help save someone who was instrumental in breaking up their teen romance to ensure Savannah's happiness is so sweet! I loved this story and look forward to reading the next two!

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

A sweet Christmastime second chance romance. Harlan knows what he wants, and what he wants is Savannah. This is my first Eve Gaddy book. I really like her writing style. References to previous couples in the series have peeked my interest in reading more.

A Texas Christmas Reunion was such a fun story for the Christmas season. Full of the magic of a small town celebration, traditions and close knit community Once again Felicity has the chance to help another couple find their way back to each other. I do believe Felicity is my favorite matchmaking ghost..

Harlan is back in town, and he’s not back as the poor boy from the Barrels this time. He’s bought the construction company that Savannah works at, and if the Ferrari he now drives is any indication – Harlan is doing quite well in the world these days. A successful businessman, Harlan is back in Whiskey River to work with his friends on a variety of projects. Discovering Savannah is still here and very much an important part of the business he just purchased is perhaps a plus, or perhaps a mistake, only time and Savannah’s reactions will tell. Oh, Harlan and Savannah have a history… unfortunately, a history that left them both brokenhearted for different reasons. Now Harlan’s grown up with his own power to wield, and he’s not backing down from her pompous father ever again. He broke her heart once, now can he win it back again when she finally knows why he left her in the first place. It’s not going to be easy, but Savannah is worth the fight, he doesn’t want to fight dirty but he will if pushed. Can one matchmaking Christmas ghost help these two see the truth about their love?

It’s such fun to be back in Whiskey River again. If you followed the original Whiskey River series then you’ll be glad to know that the familiar faces and places are still here, even though the town is growing like a wild weed. Harlan and the other men in the modern day portion of the Whiskey River Christmas series will have something to do about the town’s growth.

Harlan and Savannah make a compelling couple. They had a true love that was torn from them to now have a second chance at the happiness of a lifetime that they were denied. Would they be the people they are today without those events, hard to know. But they fit so well together that it is no hardship to cheer them on to their happy ending especially when things look bleak. I enjoyed this story so much and I’d highly recommend it for any Romance reader who enjoys a solid story, a loathsome villain even if he is family, a couple who make magic happen and secondary characters that bring this story, and soon their own, alive.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

Another winner in the Whiskey River Christmas Romance series. Packed with not only romance and a second chance love, but there are a few surprises along the way in of father and daughter's mending of their relationship and a romantic ghost named Felicity.

The series, and especially this author's story will surely leave you with warmth in your heart.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

A very likable Christmas time, second chance romance. Savannah and Harlan were both strong characters, who, with a little help from a ghost, get their romance reignited 14 years later. The pace of the book was good, and you knew it was Christmas. Overall, and enjoyable book. *I received an ARC from Net Galley and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Love and magic are in the air in Whiskey River when Savannah Taylor and Harlan Sullivan reunite at the annual Christmas ball. There is a ton of chemistry still present and sparking between them. A long ago break up with lingering anger for her and hurt for him lays the unsteady path to a true reunion. The source of their heartache is still trying to tear them apart. They are older and wiser and not the resource empty teens they were and finally get to take control over the situations that arise.

Love and second chances along with the scent of lavender are in the air this holiday season for the folks of Whiskey River. Savannah Taylor can't believe Harlan Sullivan is back in town. Not only that he's bought the company that she works for. Doesn't matter. He may have broken her heart once years ago. No way she'll let him near it again. Harlan may have been a scared kid years ago when he was run out of town. Now he can hold his own and he won't rest until Savannah is his again!

Nice read and definitely one I would recommend.

Whiskey River, Texas is becoming as real to me as Marietta, Montana with more books being added to this series. In A Texas Christmas Reunion by Eve Gaddy, Harlan Sullivan has come home, now wanting a second chance at love lost years ago. Felicity’s Christmas Ball has Harlan digging up feelings that were supposed to be long dead. However, at the Harwood House B&B, Felicity is still at work brining couples together. Never mind that this is many, many years after her demise. Just some mystical to add to this Texas story.

It is quite the read seeing Harlan and Savannah dance around each other and their feelings while trying to have a non-complicated relationship. Really no one in life is sophisticated enough to do that which means neither is Harlan or Savannah. I liked these genuine, strong, overcomers. I agree with Felicity, that they are not perfect but perfect for each other after all.

4.5 Stars
The publisher through Net Galley provided a copy.

Who can forget the wonderful Whiskey River Series by Eve Gaddy? And any continuation of the series is an added bonus, and a perfect read of another love story in the romantic town of Whiskey River.

Fourteen years is a long time for two lovers to be apart, tread through different paths of life and come back full circle to where it had all began. Circumstances, blackmail and social boundaries separate teenage lovers Harlan Sullivan and Savannah Taylor. And now destiny brings them back to their hometown of Whiskey River, with Harlan buying out the construction company that Savannah happens to be the office manager.

Old feelings haven’t died, the spark of lust and attraction is very much present, and with the feeling of belonging with each other even stronger than before, and add in the magical season of Christmas, and “A Texas Christmas Reunion” is a warm and emotional read. Eve Gaddy did a wonderful job penning a beautiful story of love and support, relationships and friendships, the good and the bad of life, and add in a dash of the previous couples in attendance, and we have a story to read by the fireplace.

Received an ARC from Tule Publishing via NetGalley for an honest review.

Love how a second chance can make a strong woman even stronger. This series takes a love from long ago and makes it the hub of the tale. Mix in Christmas spirit and a push from "angles" and the second chance becomes a reality
