A Small Town Christmas

If you are looking for a touching, sweet, at times heartbreaking but also heartwarming clean romance, this is the one for you. The story centers around Conor Flaherty and Samantha/Sam Hayes. Conor is a widower with a four year old and part owner of a winery with his brothers. Sam is an attorney that works with Conor’s brother , Sean. He sends her to the winery when a lawsuit is presented to the family by their step-mother. Little did they know that the unexpected meeting in the middle of the night and later when they officially meet, would change their lives forever. Will Conor be able to let go of his grief and open his heart, and will Sam let go of her insecurities and allow herself to fall in love? I am looking forward to more stories in this series. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley and Tule Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

A Small Town Christmas by Nan Reinhardt Four Irish Brothers Winery #1 Samantha and Connor meet when her tire shreds and she is stuck at the side of the road. There was attraction between the two but with a chance meeting that ended with goodbye rather than the exchange of names and phone numbers how could anything like romance ever be expected? Well, in romances one definitely SHOULD expect more and that is just what happens. Connor has been a widow for two years and has a four year old daughter. He runs the winery and has three brothers scattered across the country. The brothers are tight and there for one another and at the moment they are dealing with an inheritance law suit and that is where Samantha’s lawyerly skills will come in handy. The two spend time together eating, talking, socializing, caring for Connor’s daughter and dealing with the law suit but whether or not their attraction can become more is dependent on Samantha being able to believe that she is good wife and mother material and that takes her a bit of time to come to terms with. Thoroughly enjoyable sweet romance that provided a HEA for everyone at Christmas and look forward to finding out how the other brothers find their partners. Thank you to NetGalley and Tule Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review. 3-4 Stars

A great start to a new series in the Four Irish Brothers Winery, A Small Town Christmas. Great dialogue and storyline. I look forward to reading the next book.
