Perfect Song (Mason Creek Book 2) by Lauren Runow (christmas read aloud .txt) 📕

released from inside me. I look down, and he kisses my forehead.

“Hey, if it was going to break like that, we couldn’t have been in a better place. One good bucket of water thrown on it, and all is clean again.”

I laugh just before a contraction rips through me. “Oh God!” I grip my stomach.

“It’s okay. Just breathe. It only lasts twenty seconds, and then it gets better. You can do anything for twenty seconds,” he says in a calming tone.

Once it passes, I inhale a deep breath and lean against him. I never thought I would be thankful to be with a man who’s already had a child, but right now, I totally am. He’s done all of this before, and knowing that both of us aren’t going in completely blind is comforting to me.

“Come on. Let’s get you to the truck and just hope she doesn’t come before we make it to the hospital.”

My eyes open wide in fear. I didn’t think about the fact of how far away the hospital is from the lake.

He brings me in close to him. “Don’t worry. I’ll get you there in time.”

And he does but barely.

Two hours later, I’m lying in bed, watching the man of my dreams hold our daughter. This is a sight I will remember for the rest of my life.

I’ve never seen him so happy, so giddy with emotions, as he stares at the miracle we created, wrapped up in a pink blanket.

“Can I come in?” I hear a familiar male voice say.

We both look up and see Matthew standing at the door.

“Matthew!” I say in surprise. “How are you here?”

He steps into the room and goes straight to his dad. “I wasn’t going to miss the birth of my baby sister. Is this her?”

“This is her. Matthew, I’d like you to meet your baby sister, Emily.”

He leans in to see her closer. “Hi, Emily. I’m your big brother.”

Tucker looks over to me with tears in his eyes.

I mouth, I love you, to him, and he mouths back, I love you too.

As I sit with my family—one I never imagined but am beyond thankful for—I glance up and say a silent thank-you to the lord above me for leading me on the path to where I belonged. Here in Mason Creek, where my heart always was and always will be.

PERFECT LOVE by A.M. Hargrove

Jessie Phillips loves her life in Mason Creek and wouldn’t change a thing now that she’s the proud owner of Java Jitters, the popular local coffee house.

What she doesn’t love is the brooding doctor she meets at the local pub.

His rude comments about her coffee house leave her seething. If she never sees him again, it will be too soon.

Only an accident forces her kicking and screaming, metaphorically speaking, into his office in desperate need of his services.

Miles Carlson remembers the sexy brunette who reminds him why he’s sworn off women.

He moved to this sleepy town to provide a perfect life for his wife and son.

Only said wife didn’t appreciate the azure skies and picturesque landscape, and abandoned him and their five-year-old son, leaving him to forever renounce love.

Even though he’s forced to treat the sassy woman he’s undeniably attracted to, he has no plans to act on it.

Except, there is one problem.

The miniature version of himself has other ideas.

His playful interference melts Jessie’s outrage and Miles’s misery.

They say home is where the heart is …

These two clashing hearts may end up on fire and forging a perfect love.

If you love single dad, small town romances, with splashes of humor, that give you lots of warm fuzzies, then this book is for you. Download it today and get your read on!
