Review of The Rancher's Christmas Song

Brief Summary Courtesy of Harlequin 
Music teacher Ella Baker's plate is already full. But when single dad Beckett McKinley's wild twin boys need help preparing a Christmas song for their father, Ella agrees on one condition: they teach her to ride a horse. She's hoping that'll help mend her strained relationship with her rancher father; it certainly has nothing to do with the crush that's lingered since her one and only date with Beck. 

It isn't disinterest spurring Beck to keep his distance—if anything, the spark is too strong, with Ella reminding him of his ex-wife. Soon what started as an innocent arrangement is beginning to feel a lot like family. But with the holidays approaching, Beck and Ella will have to overcome past hurts if they want to keep each other warm this Christmas…
My Review: 
I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. I am a huge fan of RaeAnne Thayne's books so when I got the opportunity to read this book I jumped at the chance. First off RaeAnne did a great job of setting the scenery for this book in Cold Creek. You really felt like you were in the small town with Ella and Beck. From the ranches that they lived on to the school that Ella worked in. You really felt the caring and love that all the towns folk had for each other. 
In addition, the author did a great job of having well developed characters. She gave you enough information about Beck and Ella's past so that the story flowed really well but didn't go overboard. I also really enjoyed seeing the relationships grown not only between Ella and Beck but also the relationship between Ella and Beck's twins grow into a friendship and one day family. 
All in all this was a great holiday read. It was an easy read that won't take a look of time to read but had a mix of romance, suspense and family all rolled into one. If you like any of those or RaeAnne's books this is a must read.
