Hope and her daughter are on the run. Her husband, a powerful senator, has hurt them one too many times. But it’s hard to hide from someone with keys to all the powers in government. She stops in a little town in Wyoming—too tired, too scared, and too broke to go further.
Sheriff Luke Wilson has worked his family’s ranch in Wyoming nearly all his life, save for a few years playing big-city cop in St. Louis. The draw of his family’s home pulled him back and now he runs his ranch and takes care of what little crime Hope, Wyoming has to offer.
It’s Christmas, the time for magic and the unexpected miracle. Fate throws a twist into Hope and Luke’s lives, leading them to a new future...if they can escape the clutches of her abusive husband.
Hope for the Holidays is the perfect dose of suspense and heartfelt.
Hope is running for her life. She looking for a safe place for her and her daughter. Luke can tell she's in trouble, and will do just about anything to ensure she's safe with him. Can she trust him to help her?
I love holiday stories that truly show you what the holidays is about. Having faith in the magic of a miracle. I read this book in one sitting and it was worth it!
Great novella. I was immediately invested in the story. Loved how everyone was willing to help out. That’s the good thing about small towns. Luke was great. Also loved the interactions with the ranch hands.
What can I say? This is a Tiffany Snow book, so of course it's fabulous! She brings characters to life in a way that few authors can. This is a wonderful true to life story of desperation, danger and hopelessness. Can a Christmas miracle change the path that Hope and Lucy are on and help them find peace and true happiness?
When Hope runs from her powerful husband, desperate and penniless, she has no one to turn to and nowhere safe to hide. She is in danger with no way out of her perilous situation. She happens upon a small western town where she hopes to lie low for a few days. She needs a miracle to keep her and Lucy safe.
Hope for the Holidays is a touching novella that left me smiling with a heartwarming feeling. A story of fate and a Christmas miracle. An absolute wonderful must read!
I’d been jonesing for a Tiffany Snow read, and was finally rewarded with this short-but-sweet signature TS read. Do I wish it’d been longer, or one of her usual trios? Sure. But this still had all the elements of romantic suspense I usually seek from Ms. Snow— just in a smaller package. Luke was gold-star worthy, and Hope was wonderful.
HOPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS by Tiffany Snow is a Christmas Novella with a joyful story, but with it's share of angst. There is a villain & a wonderful hero Sheriff Luke Wilson.
Luke was Sheriff and ranch owner in the small town of Hope, Wyoming. He was having breakfast at the local café, when he noticed a young woman with a little girl. Everyone knew everyone in Hope. They were strangers & he just felt that they were in trouble. He approached them and coincidentally the lady's name was Hope & her daughter's name was Lucy. She was leery of the good looking Sheriff, because they were on the run from an abusive husband & father. This man was powerful, rich & also an influential Senator from New York. Hope had wanted to run, but a bad Wyoming winter storm was headed their way, and Christmas was only a week away.
Hope found out that taking a chance on Luke's help was the best thing she could have done for her and Lucy, too! They were in difficult circumstances. He gave them an opportunity and for the first time in months, she could relax. She felt safe because no one would find them there. There are twist & turns to this story, and secrets revealed. Luke really turns out to be her dream man as well as her savior. “Hope for the future!”

After three and a half years Tiffany Snow released a new book. Hope for the Holidays is a sweet Christmas novella about a woman on the run from her abusive husband, the sweet little girl who thinks they are on vacation and the small-town sheriff who knows something is off and offers them shelter. Add in the search for Hope and Lucy, a snow storm trapping them in Wyoming and the hunt is on. I enjoyed this novella and I look forward to more Tiffany Snow.
I've loved Tiffany's writing since discovering her Kathleen Turner series a few years ago and have read or listened to all of her books, savoring every one. I don't normally seek out holiday-themed stories, but when I knew this one was in the offing, of course I couldn't pass it up. This has the perfect balance of angst, suspense, sweetness, romance, small-town values and atmosphere. It's the ideal "curl up with a good book" book that gives you just enough anticipation without sending your emotions on a complete roller coaster. Sometimes you just need that comfort, and it's like you've been friends with these characters forever. Thank you for all you give us with your stories, Tiffany. I'm so glad I found you!

So happy I snagged this one from this author! It was the perfect book for me to savor slowly during the Christmas season this year! Great characters, a slow building romance occurring while the heroine was dealing with some serious issues from her marriage. Well written & crafted perfectly so that I was also able to visualize the region and feel the cold harsh weather of the region. I also enjoyed the family & community vibe’s within the story as well as the most PERFECT HEA ! Well done Ms Snow ! ❤️📚
The book starts out touching on a dark subject, without going into great detail. You follow the main character as she tries to make a better life for herself and her family, stumbling along the way. Having to learn to trust strangers is a hard thing for anyone to do let alone anyone in trouble. Sometimes, you just know who the good guy is and he isn’t the one you said I do to. You will love this book. I couldn’t put it down.
Light your Christmas candles and put on your cozy pajamas, because Christmas is here and Tiffany Snow is back! My heart couldn't handle this. I loved it so much! Tiffany, my heart felt like you never left. I'm glad you're back and I can't wait to show you around. This book was excellent!! I love every moment of it.
I didn't know how much I was missing reading new books by Tiffany Snow until I dug into HOPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS. A bit of drama, suspense and romance with the backdrop of the holiday season in only the way Tiffany can tell a story. Tiffany's story of Hope, Lucy and Luke was exactly what I needed.
Hope is running from an abusive husband, desperate to keep herself and her daughter Lucy safe. She has run out of money in a little town in Montana when the sheriff offers her a job. This book captured me from the first page. Great story, likable characters, with one exception. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a happily ever after book.
Just in time for the holidays really is just in time for the holidays. This was a nice stand alone story but, I hope we see more soon. I could be made into a Hallmark Christmas story. It was so descriptive you could picture it and smell everything. Not her usual style for a storyline but, really good anyways. It was a feel good read.
Yes, after escaping the abusive husband who you married because he appeared to you as a knight in shining armor when you were vulnerable, it is totally a great idea to marry the other man who appeared as the knight in shining armor, who didn’t hesitate to kill that abusive husband. Yes, that’s totally not history repeating itself at all.
I was hooked on this book from the very beginning. Tiffany is such an awesome author. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. This is one of those books you don't want to put down. " And I didn't" till I finished it. Now I will go back and read it again.
This was a great story that was so well written! The characters were like real people and I feel like I actually know them. It’s a heart warming story that I think everyone would love.
I was so excited when this book came out. I couldn't wait to read. Tiffany you did not disappoint once again. I love your writing, and love the storylines on all of your books. I am super excited you are back in the saddle!
This romance is a warm cup of cocoa on a snowy day. Comforting, passionate, and great in all the right ways. As a long term fan of T. Snow, I am so happy she picked up the pen again and she did not disappoint. I look forward to many more and will share this with my fellow Snow lovers.
Welcome back Tiffany Snow! I enjoyed this short story. It had great detail for its length. Wonderful story and kept moving, didn’t get boring. Nice, quick Christmas love story read with a little action too.
When you are in a marriage you know you need to escape, you do everything you can to get away! As you begin to explore your plan, things happen along the way when you least expect.
Such a sweet but suspenseful book! Hope there is more of this story to come!
I love Tiffany Snow! She is my favorite. Hope for the Holidays was just what I needed! If you like cowboys, a damsel in distress, and a beautiful backdrop, this one is for you.
Tiffany has done it again. I loved every bit of this book. It was the perfect warm and cozy Christmas read. I loved the edge that Kade had in the Kathleen Turner series but I equally loved the softness and gentleness Luke had toward Hope and Lucy in this book.
I really connected with the characters. I enjoyed the tough sheriff and the sweet innocent child relationship. I can picture the older ladies acting just like they are in this book. It made me smile!
I absolutely love all of Tiffany Snow's books, so I knew I would love this one too! It was different than her other series but good. Love a good romance with some mystery in it. Deserved a 5 star.
Tiffany Snow does it again! Hope for the Holidays, is a tear jerking, nail biter, and !moving story. As the plot thickens and the violent senator thinks the story will go his way, the ranch hands and sheriff see to justice for a mother and her child.
