From the back...
An unparalleled Christmas! Lynn Mckinney Russell had a lot on her plate. Two new stepdaughters-one at the rebellious adolescent stage-a new baby on the way, a trainer who'd been mistreating her beloved horse, Lightning, and one new husband, whose overprotectiveness was driving her wild! Still Lynn was determined to make the best Christmas ever-till a series of harrowing "accidents" threatened to turn the festive season upside down. Lynn's lifelong cocoon of security disppeared with the cool Texas wind, and Christmas became an experience no Russell or McKinney was ever likely to forget!

In my Opinion...
We were first introduced to Lynn and Sam in 'White Lightning.' After a tough start Sam and Lynn seemed to have found love and were headed towards happily ever after. Unfortunatly, in this book real life hits. Not everything is roses in the Russell household. Allie Russell, Sam's daughter, is going through a rebellious teenage stage. Allie also seems to blame all her problems on Lynn. There is also the added stress of a new baby on the way. Sam is also having financial problems that he is keeping from Lynn. And if all that was not bad enough, there all these little accidents that seem to be happing to the Russell family and Lynn in particular. The ending has you holding your breath. It was nice to have another book on Lynn, Sam, and their growing family. It was especially sweet to have 'Little Hank' join the the McKinney-Russell clan.
