Rachel Murphy has come from Arizona to visit her brother Ty in Marietta, Montana for Christmas. He's her only family left and after a devastating betrayal she's come to recoup and get back on her feet. Nate Vaughn is Ty's business partner and the owner of the Bar V5 Ranch. As interested as Nate is in Rachel's baked goods,being her business partner, and having her stay in Marietta for good, Rachel is just as wary of being burned twice and has her heart set on going back to Arizona.Talk about a heartwarming story. I was indignant on Rachel's behalf when the betrayal she experienced was revealed. It made sense that she'd be so hesitant about allowing Nate help her. I also liked how the story flowed. It was great to see glimpses of characters we'd already met in previous stories and hopefully meet ones of future stories. I liked Nate as much as I liked Rachel. I like how took Ty's warnings about Rachel to heart even though he was unbearably attracted to her. He took his time in getting her comfortable with him and let her make the first move. I must say when Melissa McClone was describing Rachel's gingerbread houses and cookies my mouth was watering. It's the perfect time of year of gingerbread and I find myself craving some. This sweet story could be rated pg-13 but it still packs quite a punch with its will they/won't they.I'm really looking forward to reading the next Montana Born story. It's great getting to meet new characters and learn more about the town.
