Midnight in Park City

by Hope Holloway, Cecelia Scott

The final installment of a cozy, romantic holiday series filled with Christmas charm, second chances, and the magic of the mountains. As the clock ticks toward midnight on New Year’s Eve, hearts are on the line—and everything can change in a moment.

Gracie McBride is letting hope take root with Marshall Hampton, who is steady, thoughtful, and offering a future she never dreamed possible. But when his captivating ex shows up with secrets and expectations of her own, Gracie’s confidence wavers. Is she strong enough to believe Marshall chooses her? Or will old doubts steal the life she’s almost brave enough to want?

MJ is falling as fast as the snowflakes for Matt Walker, who’s returned with big plans and high hopes. But she’s awakened nightly with what feels like a warning from her late husband, making her doubt if she’s ready to fall in love again.

Spunky vet student Elise Hale definitely wasn’t looking for love until a dangerously handsome newcomer shows up and the two of them bond over a sick animal in the local Live Nativity event. When she starts to suspect the young doctor might be trying to “fix” her instead of love her, Elise has to decide whether to trust the spark between them…or shut it down before it burns her.

With Nicole and Cameron’s glittering New Year’s Eve wedding fast approaching, the family’s emotional, heartwarming holiday is a story of love, letting go, and the magic of Christmas.

Discover the joy, love, and laughter of the Christmas in the Canyons series—where every holiday is a chance for new beginnings!

Cozy, engaging, and easy to read. Midnight in Park City has a great small-town setting, likable characters, and just enough mystery to keep things interesting—without feeling cheesy or over-the-top. It’s the kind of book you pick up “for a bit” and end up reading longer than planned. A fun, comforting read for cozy mystery fans. I am going to need a follow up next year to see how everyone is doing!

Midnight in Park City is the conclusion to the series Christmas in the Canyons. And what a wonderful, heartwarming end to another fabulous series. This is a story of family, trust, and second chances. There are misunderstandings, secret agendas, a few shenanigans, but always with the support of a large, extended family. It is about love and looking beyond disabilities to a normal life. This series is filled with so much warmth and heartfelt emotions. I loved all the characters in the books and wrapping up their stories; but I am never ready for the end. I can’t wait for another series by these two authors.

A dreamy night in Park City

Love is definitely in the snow flakes this Christmas season. Nicole & Cameron's wedding, Elise & Wade's declaration of a love formed from respect and admiration, Matt & Mary Jane's engagement and such happiness in their second chapter, Gracie & Marshall's new romance and a family looking to become blended, just makes the season so much brighter and as exciting as fireworks.
Ladies, enjoyed every twist and turn, "bears & spiders" good winning over evil, mysteries solved, laughing and feeling the frustration of wondering if everything would work out and big smile when it did.

Midnight in Park City is a wonderful conclusion to the Christmas in the Canyons series. Nobody does heartwarming and, at times, heart wrenching stories like these two. I loved following the developing stories between all of these characters - so much love and acceptance, with family at the heart. There were ups and downs, disappointments, and misunderstandings, but through it all, the love of family and friends sees them through. I loved this series and have that bittersweet feeling now that I’m done. Happy to see everyone’s happy endings, sad to say good-bye to these characters.

Another fantastic holiday series is complete! Midnight in Park City concludes the Christmas in the Canyons series. I have come to love these characters and I am not quite ready to say goodbye.

The past three books have set us up for the second chances, the confidence and doubts erased, the secret agendas, all the love of family and magic of Christmas. My heart is happy and full enough until these two authors bring us the holiday series for next year!

Thank you to the Authors for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

Midnight in Park City is a satisfying conclusion to the Christmas in the Canyons quartet. As with the first three books, this final installment features multiple generations of family, new beginnings, second chances, and heartwarming romance for more than the young. There's laughter, nostalgia, a bit of a mystery, relationship complications, family, holiday fun, and happy endings all around. Plus, mountains, snow, small-town vibes, and a cozy, welcoming family lodge - - all the ingredients for a warm hug of a holiday read.

Midnight in Park City is the fourth and final book in this series. It is filled once again with this great family of characters and some new ones. More romance, second chances, a little mystery, and definitely some drama! This series is full of family, friendships and love. A warm, delightful, feel good story to conclude this series, and I have to say I am sad to see it end! These two authors are a dynamic duo! Well done ladies!

Wish this wasn't the last one

I have really come to enjoy the characters in this series, and I'm so sorry to see them to. The authors did a fantastic job of bringing the characters and the town of Park City to live. I want the rest of the story... What happens to Gracie and Marshall and Elise and the vet oncologist... There's more to tell!

Nothing like family

It takes a family especially sisters. With sisters you already have your best friends for life. No matter the challenge with sisters to encourage you to depend
What your heart is telling you. There may disappointments, but in the end it will all work out and you will find love again.

Good Read! This is the last book in the series, which I loved because it has everything a good read should have - drama, intrigue, and fun. Plus, it’s written by my two favorite authors. Thank you for the ARC copy.

[Natalie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am enjoying this series. They tend to focus on just a certain pair in each book which I find just draws me
more into understanding the characters better. There are a few more but I’m feeling a little burned out on Christmas books so may have to take a break :-) and pick up next Christmas

This series was so much fun to read. The setting was so perfect as were the characters. Hope Holloway and Cecelia Scott really know how to write a story. Looking forward to more like this!

[K H · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really wish this one would continue. It would be interesting to see what happens with some of the characters. I would recommend this book and would have to say go back and read the other three as well. It just brings it all to a nice end.

Wonderful characters continue the story of this family with the beautiful rustic lodge in Park City Utah. Another Christmas with new romances and an unusual mystery. Delightful!

[Jennifer Simpson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this whole series. Sweet, happy. Not too predictable to be boring, but just predictable enough to be comforting. I loved the whole thing. Perfect light Christmas reading.

[Frank Rydwansky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Romance at it’s best…

An interesting journey through real life experiences leading to “happily ever after.”
Something for all generations with intrigue.
…and a warm spiritual touch.
