Chestnut Ranch #2
A Cowboy and his Mistletoe Kiss
He wasn't supposed to kiss her. Can Travis and Millie find a way to turn their mistletoe kiss into true love?
Travis Johnson attended the speed-dating event during Chestnut Springs's Octoberfest and got exactly two phone numbers. One woman's already told him there's no spark between them.
Ouch.
The other has a boyfriend.
Double ouch.
But when Travis spots Millie at his brother's wedding, he learns she broke up with that other guy.
Perfect.
Gathering his courage, he asks her to dance, only to have his brother point out they're swaying under the mistletoe. So Travis does the only thing he can—he kisses Millie.
Millie Hepworth plans parties for a living, and Travis is crazy-busy on the ranch with his brother off on his honeymoon. So he does the only thing he can think of to keep Millie close.
He hires her to plan a Christmas party for him and his brothers out at Chestnut Ranch.
No big deal.
He forgot about the part where he works constantly and doesn't have much to say, especially to a successful, sassy woman like Millie. Oh, and the part where his mother has always hosted the Christmas party...
Oops.
This is why cowboys should never kiss under the mistletoe.

I enjoy small town cowboy romances. This one was ok.
The story didn't flow for me. Travis and Millie didn't seem to connect. I didn't feel any chemistry between them. They both had insecurities. Travis seemed to come to terms with his, but the book left me with the sense that Millie was going to ignore hers. After speaking to her dad, I guess I expected something more.
Maybe it was because I thought the H/h were older and it was more like they were in their late teens trying to connect while not being sure of what they were doing.
Travis and Millie got their HEA, and the ending was sweet. There is also some info about the next two books at the end involving Russ and Rex if I'm not mistaken.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy received from Booksprout.

Travis and Millie
Travis gets his HEA I did feel sorry for Millie with her mother and father and jobless she had it tuff.I did feel they should of found that women and get her to explain why she attacked him with a kiss took photos for all to see and never checked if he was married or in a relationship.it was rude and sexual harassment.I get they needed to trust each other but that grows with time and if your heart is on the line there will be a 10% non trust out of 100% because love matters.the relationship is new and it's ok to get her and say tell her what happened by the way this is my girlfriend so the women understands her actions hurt.after all she owned them both a sorry.poor Russ I'm not liking his love interest she is thickal

Millie and Travis ❤️
I have to say, I loved this story more than the first book. Millie and Travis' love was so sweet and filled with joy. He was quiet, she was outgoing and filled with humor. He had low self esteem and she encouraged him. I loved it. Although, Travis could have handled the incident with the scavenger hunt a little better than he did. I would have been furious if I were Millie.
The parts where Millie took care of her momma reminded me of the time my mother was ill and we cared for her. Very tender memories.
Looking forward to the next book in the series!

Fantastic book.
I loved every moment of this book. I love Travis and Millie. I love how the author gave a great back story to the two of the by the question they asked when they was dating and getting to know each other. I love how Millie let Travis know she was ready for the next step by asking even if he was like nope can’t do it then ask her the very same thing in a great out of the way, way. It just makes it so much more that he let her take the lead mat then followed her when she need to go. I so loved this book. Hope all the rest of the books in this series are this great.

Travis meets Millie another speed dating event and they had dated many years ago.
Travis knew that Millie had another boyfriend so he just stayed clear of her until he sees her at his brother's wedding and asks her for a dance.
Millie accepted the dance and so enjoyed the dance and Travis Johnson is one yummy man.
Travis learns Millie has moved back and is starting her own event planning business..
Travis asks her to decorate his home and plan a Christmas party.
These two enjoy each other and learn each other..until Millie starts to act jealous and Travis asks for a few steps back.
This proves how much they miss each other and that loves waits and is worth it all.

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Travis and Millie both have things to work out, Travis does not say much and Millie has jealousy issues. It was a real emotional rollercoaster ride with them but chemistry was great.

I liked the feelings expressed between family, girl friends, parents, etc. it is a feel good book and it does make you feel good. Nice to have positive thoughts and no violence. I would recommend this book to either sex and most any mature person , young or old.
Have already stated everything asked for. Keep up the positive, feel good writing, this is the type thinking our country needs.

This is ok. I like Travis, he's reserved and a little timid. Millie was the exact opposite, she's a whirlwind. There is some character depth so I did get to know them, I just couldn't connect with them. There just didn't seem to be enough emotion or excitement conveyed between the two about their new love to engage me into believing that they were truly in love.

Great book!
This is an exciting and exciting story. Seeing two people attracted to each other with issues to overcome is exciting to see how they handle their problems. We should not stay in our past hurts. We miss out on what is in our future if we do that.This is a good example of handling our hurts.

Rancher Travis Johnson dances with Millie Hepworth at his brother’s wedding and learns she isn’t seeing anyone so he asks her out. She had returned to help her mother who is fighting cancer, and is in need of a job. He’s quiet, but she’s still interested. A great story about learning to communicate and think about another person’s needs.

Vulnerability
When you love someone you make your heart vulnerable to blind faith. You trust them to love you, respect you and to trust you based on nothing but love. It's not an easy task but oh so rewarding~

Delightful
This is so different, sensitive brothers that bring a whole new level to dating. I love how Trav and Mills traverse the romance terrain, so many pitfalls with this sensitive duo.

Great second trip to Chestnut ranch.
It is a great story from begging to end.Emmy does a great job creating believable characters that make it easy to create a reading movie. All books should create a movie though words, it did not disappoint.

True to life love story
Loved the story with all the twists and turns. I had a difficult time overlooking the many type o errors. There needs to be some proofreading. I am excited to read the rest of the series.

Enjoyable
This is an entertaining story. I love the dynamics of the relationship between Millie and Travis. The author made them more realistic by inserting trust issues into the relationship.

A great book
This story is the second book in the series. I loved reading every word. The characters were very personable. I fell in love with Millie. She reminded me of myself. I love the whole Johnson family. I can't wait till I read book 3.

Read
June 7, 2022Read the first book in the set and the 2nd book was not as good as the other one, it was more disjointed and too cheesy. I thought it might carry on from book one and you could read them almost together which would of been great, but I did not enjoy this one as much as the first one.
