Wealthy socialite (Samantha) meets out of work chef (Shea). They planned to be married and then his restaurant fails. Too proud to take money from Sam, Shea leaves the west coast and heads back east to his remarkable nuclear family. He decides to go back to the west coast to see Sam, who has her own misfortunes. Her father's business was wiped out along with her job and security. However, Sam introduces Shea to his son. Say what? Total surprise. Now Sam is penniless and Shea is a top chef with a national reputation. Sam reluctantly agrees to spend Christmas back east but only until January first when she heads back west. The goal is to let his crazy family wear her down. Lots of surprises for everyone. "I'm the luckiest man on earth", says Shea. "How fortunate for you, to have the luckiest woman and child. Merry Christmas" says Sam.

This third book of the series was the best one. It tied everything up nicely.

I can see stories of the next generation would be cool.
