I received this from Library Thing to read and review.  This is another fantastic story by Katy Regnery. Tess is a waitress, whom everyone in the small town treats not so well. In fact, her reputation is not all that good either.  Enter Lucas Flynn, short order cook where Tess works.  Lucas is a recently released ex-con, who wants to make a new life for himself.  Though people often think badly of ex-cons, anyone who meets or encounters Lucas will realize at once that he is a decent sort of guy, with a big heart and openness that will astound you, and not the type who will take whatever he can get form anyone or anything and just up and leave them behind. Together, Lucas and Tess find what both are seeking, a real love and life with each other. This is just another great story by this author.  I loved her other work in the Heart of Montana series, and, though it does relate somewhat to the other book, By Proxy, it can be read as a stand-alone story.  However, if you read this one, you will undoubtedly begin searching for the other book in the series, By Proxy, because the author has the ability to just suck you into the story and the life in this small Montana town from the get-go.  I loved the two characters in this story.  They interacted quite well and supported the basic plot.  This is truly a feel-good story. It fits well into the holiday timeframe. I will provide one more reason to believe that Christmas is the season for miracles of all varieties.
