Christmas Ranch Shifters Book 1

Holly has moved home to start over after living a city life. Growing up on a Christmas tree farm that also helps vets during the holidays. Being back to the small town still has its own issues, such as the gossip mill and ex-boyfriends. So when a new vet, Jace, who also is a shapeshifter, shows up to the farm just needing some help. Then Holly also needs help from her ex, who has started stalking her. This gives Jace a purpose and brings out his protective instincts.

This is the first book in the Christmas Ranch Shifters series. Holly is strong and wants to protect those she loves. Jace is struggling with trauma from being a soldier. The two together are amazing. Cupcake may only be a dog but is a huge character in its own right. The story takes place in a world much like our own with shapeshifters added in. The description of the farm is so beautifully written I could almost smell the tree farm. This is one of those holiday romances that you pick up to have a fun read. It is quick and perfect for the season. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to read more from this series.

“She only meant to dodge her ex…

Not kiss a grumpy, gorgeous wolf shifter under the mistletoe.

After losing her big-city job, Holly is home for the holidays at the family Christmas tree farm run by her retired military dad, juggling holiday customers, financial trouble, and a newly adopted hairless rescue dog. The last thing she needs is attraction—especially to Jace, the brooding wounded warrior wolf shifter recovering on the ranch.

Jace can fix the guesthouse furnace, but not the mess his life has become. He’s physically and emotionally wounded, unemployed, and barely keeping his wolf side under control. Getting close to Holly is the one thing he shouldn’t do… especially after their accidental, very public kiss.

But with Holly’s dangerous ex stalking her, and the ranch in deep trouble, Jace realizes he’ll fight anyone—and anything—to protect her. Even if it means facing up to his fears, or her terrifying bear-shifter dad.”
