About this ebook
Christmas in Shelter Springs is the season of twinkling lights, open hearts and unexpected second chances. And for Hannah Goodwin, it also brings the one person she never wanted to see again...
Hannah’s built a full life for herself in the warmth of her close-knit town, with her family, her work and her music. And when her dear friend Morgan desperately needs her help, Hannah temporarily steps in to care for Morgan’s children. That’s what friends do—especially at the holidays. But she never expected to run into Wes Kenner...
Moving back home is the last thing K9 law enforcement officer Wes Kenner ever wanted. It’s where he fell in love with Hannah—and where an accident changed his mother’s life forever. But when his grandfather needs a helping hand, he can’t say no. It’s the perfect opportunity for him and his beloved K9, Kodiak, to recover. Still, seeing Hannah again fills him with regret—and hope.
After all this time, Hannah still represents all of the joy and light Wes pushed out of his life. Everything he’s desperate to get back. And as Hannah brings much-needed holiday magic to Morgan—and her kids—he realizes this is his chance. Because this Christmas, all he wants is her.
A cozy and uplifting reunion romance about two exes who work together at the holidays to help a family in need—and realize their Christmas wish is for a second chance with their first love.

Cozy Little Christmas by RaeAnne Thayne is a warm second-chance romance filled with healing, forgiveness, family, and community. Shelter Springs shines with small-town charm, compassionate Hannah is a wonderful friend, and injured K9 Kodiak adds extra heart. Although the middle moves at a leisurely pace, the story regains momentum for a satisfying finish. This gentle, uplifting holiday read is wrapped in warmth and festive cheer.

Hannah and Wes once loved each other tremendously. His anger deep within from the murder of his father and tragic injury to his mother caused him to shut the door to Hannah. Back in their small town after a police injury, both he and Hannah struggle with the love that remains and with his actions. A Christmas story of redemption and love. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Helping with her friend's children for the holidays, Hannah must confront the past when police officer Wes, the man she can’t forget, returns to their hometown to recuperate along with his injured canine partner. This heartwarming holiday romance has all the feels. With the kids, the dog, and the supportive extended family, it's like a big Christmas hug. Yet it also has its poignant moments and obstacles to be overcome. It's a satisfying read. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received.
