Blurb: Travis had been here at Sutton Station for just over a year. We were technically engaged, not that we’d told anyone. He was happy just knowin’ I’d said yes, and I had some head-clearin’ stuff to work through. Knowing I was good enough for Trav was one thing, but knowing if I was good enough to be a husband and father was somethin’ else entirely.

Life at Sutton Station had never been better. Business was strong, Trudy and Bacon’s little baby, Gracie, was a few weeks old now and as cute as a button, Ma’s health was good, and my relationship with Laura and Sam was in a pretty good place. And Travis? Well, life with him was still all kinds of perfect.

But, to Travis’s dismay, Christmas at the Station was just another day. Another day of getting up before the sun, feeding animals, fixin’ what needed fixin’, and checking water troughs all while tryin’ to keep out of the blistering heat.

And this year weren’t much different. Only that it was Travis’s first Sutton Station Christmas. The fact we didn’t go all out with decorations and celebrations baffled him, and if I was bein’ truthful, it disappointed him too.

Which was why I had to make it a special kind of Christmas…

Review: I loved the Red Dirt Heart series, and this side piece just added to my enjoyment. All the fun and humor from the previous books in the series is alive and well in Red Dirt Christmas. I adore Travis and Charlie’s relationship, and to see their first Christmas together was just as fun and humorous as the rest of their relationship.

All of the side characters that enrich the series are here as well, and really made it seem like one had returned home for the holidays. Since Christmas has always been a cold event for me, it was great to see how things were done in the ‘heat’ of winter. I would read this series until Charlie and Travis are old and gray, and still come back for more in the afterlife.

If you are a fan of the series, then don’t miss this wonderful and sweet story.
