All She Wants For Christmas

All She Wants for Christmas by Jaci Burton

Big Star, Small-town Christmas

Country singer Riley Jensen would never have returned to her small Missouri hometown if her publicist hadn't come up with the scheme to tape a Christmas special there. So she never would have known that the man who broke her heart at eighteen—causing her to flee to Nashville—was now a widower with a seven-year-old daughter. Riley has ten years of angst-filled hit songs and Grammy awards to prove she doesn't need Ethan Kent. But suddenly, she can’t help thinking of all she gave up by running away…

Ethan Kent knew Riley had the talent and the drive to make it as a singer. He also knew she wasn't going anywhere if she stayed in their nowhere town for him. Then one night and one huge mistake sent her running on the road to fame. Which doesn't mean he ever stopped loving her…

But with so much separating them, can Riley and Ethan find their way back together one magical country Christmas?**

I'm a sucker for any kind of Christmas story, put a lost love rekindled on top of that and I'm in heaven! Riley Jensen thought that no one in her hometown would have the time of day for her or for the biography that was being done about her.  She dreaded seeing Ethan and Amanda, the two most important people in her life 10 years ago, that had betrayed her in the worst possible way. What she finds is something very different, not at all what she was expecting. 

Ethan was just there to greet Riley because his daughter was a huge fan. At least that's what he keeps telling everyone and himself.  Seeing her though proves that he's still has feelings for her. Now he's in self preservation mode, he can't let her get close because she's going to leave and take his heart and his daughters heart with him. 

It was a super easy read. They are a great couple, and I was glad to see how they could work through all their issues. On to read number two in this series, the feature is Ethan's brother Wyatt.
