Claire Cain takes readers back to the wonderful world of Silver Ridge and Saint Securities. Veteran and dog lover Tristan has been friends with Winnie for years, but it's time for their relationship to change. Throughout the story, we see our favorite characters from the other Silver Ridge books -- which brings back some great memories. I can't wait to see what Cain comes up with next!

Holiday Romance + Hockey + Fake Wedding = The Perfect Hat Trick
Hockey's finest, on and off the ice, Seb is smitten with Maddie from the beginning. After a hilarious Vegas wedding, the two can fix both of their problems. He's still playing hockey and she's showing her ex (and his family) that she's moved on and the grass is much greener.
The dialogue is laugh-out-loud funny, Seb's hockey friends are perfection, and the relationship that grows between Seb and Maggie is the icing on a sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free cake.
Anyone who loves reading will love this closed-door romantic comedy. It'll make the perfect addition to your holiday reading list.

Claire Cain + Military Romance + Christmas == An absolute joy to read!
No one writes military romance like Claire Cain. The authenticity and realism that Cain brings to her books make military spouses around the world breathe a sigh of relief. And the way she weaves her characters and series into each other is unparalleled. This book was no exception.
Marriages of convenience are not abnormal in the military community, despite how ridiculous it sounds. When childhood friends are reconnected by a meddling mother, it results in an arrangement that meets both of their needs. Or so they think.
As we get to know the main characters, we learn -- as they do -- that there just might be more to their holiday story.
Add this book to your holiday reading list -- or get it for the book lover in your life. You'll thank me later.

This was really well written, but the topic was very odd and at times disturbing.

Claire Cain did it again. I was so sad to see the end of the Back to Silver Ridge series, but this one picks right up there. The characters and setting are familiar, while not overtaking the story -- it felt like I was going home. I'm so excited for the rest of this series as we get to learn more about the new characters we met in this first book.
