A rich story with characters so realistic, you will feel you know them personally.

When Fia Price quits modeling, she heads to Texas to the ranch she and her brothers inherited from their great-aunt. She plans to spend time going through her aunt’s belongings and figuring out what she will do with the next chapter of her life.

Gib Donovan is a single father and ranch owner who is looking to acquire some more property. That property just happens to be Fia’s Great-aunt’s. Gib is content with his life and doesn’t want or need a woman in it. But when he meets Fia, everything changes. Or, was it the magic of the Christmas season working miracles on them both?

I really enjoyed the chemistry between Fia and Gib. The story had everything I could ask for in a book, great characters, writing and the perfect romance. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves small towns or cowboy romances.

I enjoyed reading Christmas at First Creek Farm, it holds pieces of all the attribute that makes a great cowboy story. Believable characters, a wonderful storyline and it own HEA. I really hope this author pens more amazing stories like this because I will be in line to read them all

So I'm going to be honest here and tell you all that the only reason I decided to read this book was because of the cover. I don't usually fall for the pull of the cover but once in a while it grabs me and won't let go.

The cover for Christmas at First Creek Farm is just that kind of cover for me.

From the second I saw it I knew that I'd have to read the book. The only thing that stopped me at first was because of how many books I had to read before the end of October.

I know you can tell that I'm weak because after a few days I gave into the draw of the cover and requested it. The real scary part, besides not have a great amount of time to read it, was the fact that this was a author that I hadn't read or even heard of before seeing this cover.

Yep, the draw of the cover.

So I down loaded it and the first second I had I started it. It helped that the book I read prior to this one was so good that I flew through it. Not to worry that review is coming soon. With having the time I started it and read it in one sitting. Something I don't often do. Between playing on Facebook and some fun games on my phone along with the TV it sometimes (most of the time) takes me till the next day to finish a book.

For whatever reason I started this one and flew though it. That's how good it was for me. I really got into the characters and the people. In fact I wanted more. That's how many of the characters jump out at you. I love a author that can leave me wanting more.

You will be heartbroken for Gib and his past. What he had to go through, sucked. What sucks more is how blind he is to what he could have if he only opened his eyes. Some people refuse to see the truth in front of them until it smacks them in the face.

Gib is one of those people. Even with him being like that I truly enjoyed him. He's a wonderful father and brother. He tries not to but cares about those around him.

I loved Fia. She too has a few things in her past that suck. She too lost her family and now really feels the loneliness. I so wanted to give her a hug. You also enjoy her sense of humor. Cracked me up more then once.

These two together are perfect and even though they had a rock road before admitting to true love they are perfect together. This is a great holiday story to read and as I said it's very easy and fast to read. Just what you need during the busy holidays.

I really hope this isn't the only book in this town. I want more of the charcters to have their own stories.

I received an arc from Netgalley. Christmas at First Creek Farm is a super Christmas romance. Gib and Fia are two people that have an instant connection and attraction. Gib has a young son Gabe who is the most lovable kid and has some pretty interesting and lovable pets as well.

As Gib and Fia maneuver their way through their romance an old flame of Gibs just can’t let him go. Fia on the other hand needs to find out what is her life now that she retired from modeling. More than anything these two learn that fighting for love and forgiveness are the keys to happiness.

CHRISTMAS AT FIRST CREEK FARM by Joss Wood is a wonderful story of family and love. A single father and a retiring model. I would love to read more about this amazing family!

Really great read. It takes you on a really great journey of different emotions. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Gib is trying to raise his 5 year old son, and run a huge ranch in Texas. His wife and parents were killed in a car accident, and he has become bitter towards women. Along comes Fia, a super model who owns a section of land that he wants to obtain. Doesn't hurt that she is gorgeous, inside and out. Sparks fly, and naturally there is a HEA. The trip there was fun, although wish it would have been longer. Highly recommend this story.

A great christmas read - entertaining and keeps you interested throughout the book. First book I have read by this author and looking forward to more!

Christmas at First Creek Farm by Joss Wood. A story to get you in the holiday spirit. Likable characters and great character development. Looking forward to reading more by Joss Wood.

Authentic is one word I’d use to describe the characters in this story...adding in realistic as well. The emotions were spot on, never over the top, with the intelligent dialog creating a smooth and seamless flow throughout. The author’s depiction of what she has created gave my mind’s eye the perfect vehicle to create the proper imagery for the story and its characters to be believable. I look forward to reading more of her stories in the future.
