The Holiday Gift by RaeAnne Thayne is a 2016 Harlequin publication. The Holiday Gift is part of the ‘Cowboys of Cold Creek’ series. Faith has faced many life challenges and much heartache and tragedy, but Chase has always been a rock solid friend she could count on. But, recently, there has been an awkwardness between them, a tension she never noticed before. Faith wishes this feeling would just go away because deep down she knows what has changed, she just doesn’t want to admit it. Chase has been in love with Faith for years, but circumstances caused him to lose his chance with her. After Faith’s husband died, he picked up the slack the best he could, hoping that eventually he would get a second chance with her, but Faith has made it crystal clear that friendship is all she can offer him. Can Chase convince Faith to take their friendship to the next level? Friends to lovers is one of my favorite romance tropes. Combine that with a little mistletoe and snow and you’ve got a perfect combination. This is a quick, easy, and lighthearted and sweet love story, with wonderful characters and plenty of holiday warmth and cheer! 4 stars aucune critique | ajouter une critique

With two kids and an active life, widow Faith Dustin only wants peace and quiet for Christmas. But her snowy Pine Gulch ranch is nothing but chaotic. All that keeps Faith going is her helpful neighbor, cowboy Chase Brannon. He's always been "good ol' Chase," her faithful friend. Until he kisses her under the mistletoe... Years ago Chase blew his chance with the woman he's loved since childhood. Now he's determined to step out of the friend zone... and into the role of husband. But the scared and stubborn Faith won't let herself fall. With Christmas just days away, Chase will need all the magic of the season-and the help of her two matchmaking children-to unwrap a second chance at love.

I loved the development of the actual romance. I thought Chase was an amazingly sensitive and patient man. He also was determined that he wasn't going to lose out again, and when he saw that someone else was looking to date her, he knew he had to act fast. Faith knew him well enough that she knew something was up on the trip back from the auction, but she had no clue what it was. Chase's insistence that the stockgrower's dance was an actual date, not just friends going together, totally freaked her out. She was afraid that if they changed their relationship and she lost him, she would be devastated. It was interesting to see how oblivious she had been to his feelings for her, until he kissed her. She was also clueless about her own feelings for him. I wanted to shake her when she tried setting him up with another woman even though he had made his interest in her very clear. It was fantastic to see how patient Chase was, but that he also refused to be pushed away. I ached for him when he finally declared himself and had to watch Faith continue to deny her feelings. I loved seeing her finally face her fears. The scene in the barn on Christmas Eve was fantastic. I also loved the epilogue and catching up with everyone a year later.
There is also a strong sense of family throughout the book. Faith and her sisters are very close and are there for each other. I loved their cooperation on running the Christmas Ranch, even though some of it can be reluctant. I especially loved the way that Hope and Celeste and Aunt Mary all were fully aware of Chase's feelings for Faith and completely bewildered by Faith's obliviousness. It was fun to watch them all try to get Faith to open her eyes. I also loved how Chase was such a fantastic father. I loved his relationship with Addie. He's also terrific with Faith's kids. I loved the way that he thought of her family as his, and they felt the same way about him. ( )
