Loved it! What a sweet, romantic and emotional story that tugged at my heartstrings.A beautiful clean romance set at Christmas time, By Proxy can be read and enjoyed all year round. It's a lovely story of two strangers who are forced to spend a weekend together and end up falling fast and hard for each other.It's not your usual romance though; even though the attraction they feel for each other is strong, there's nothing but kisses - still, it's hot and romantic at the same time, and I really liked this. No need for long, detailed sex scenes to grab the reader's attention. Kudos to Katy for that. I really really enjoyed this story.I loved Jenny from the very start; she's an unusual heroine for a romance: she's sweet, innocent and blushes a lot, but she's also strong, stubborn and fights for her beliefs and the people she loves. She's the girl everyone would want as their best friend. I really felt a strong connection with her and rooted for her to get the HEA she deserved.Sam is great. He's not only handsome and hot, he's funny and sweet, and I truly enjoyed their banter and his teasing.There's a lot of character development and by the end of the book both characters have grown and changed, and somehow the reader feels this too.I enjoyed the small town setting, and I found myself wanting to jump on a plane and go to Montana.The Lindstrom brothers, Jenny's brothers, are great side characters. I loved them! As well as Jenny's Pappa - he's super cute, even though he only appears a couple of times in the book.I will definitely be reading the next books in the series, which are about the Lindstrom brothers.I only hope I'll get to read more about Sam and Jenny in the next books too.
