Sweet and naughty takes a holiday twist. Tangled Up In Christmas melds sentimental with tempting and gets electric. Jones gives her sensitive side free reign to seduce even the hardest of hearts. Roarke and Hannah are a heartache short of heartwarming. He's a heartbreaker with a ton to regret. She's a survivor, who wants to forget. Can the pain of yesterday pave the way for a happier tomorrow? Tangled Up In Christmas is the gift that keeps on giving all year long.

This is book #2, in the Texas Heat series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading these in order intended by the author.

Hannah returns to her hometown in this story about the holidays and second chances.  She has to meet up with an Ex-fiance' and others who watched her grow up.  It is a little bit of eating humble pie, and a lot of resisting the charms of the only man she has ever loved.

Roarke wants the woman he loves back.  Theirs is a story that puts the word complicated to shame.  She thinks he cheated on him, and he was only a victim of someone else's plot.  Can he win her back on the merits of the fact they know one another like no other?

This story was challenging and pulls on the heart strings.  Seeing a couple still so much in love be apart and still get through the day is hard.  Told in a way that it just makes you appreciate romance books - this is a book that will take your heart and help it fly.  I found the characters to be deep and compelling and I cannot wait for another installment of this series.  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Roarke had been Hannah’s babysitter at one time having been six years older than her. Hannah and Roarke had been best friends all their lives. And fell in love and became engaged to marry.  She had been the girl next store and knew Roarke better than anyone. Than Hannah got an email with a beautiful model hanging all over Roarke. Roarke had been a YouTube sensation as “ the Horse Wrangler”. Hannah couldn't forgive his cheating and called off the engagement and never let Roarke even try to explain.  Than she ;left Sweetwater-their hometown- and went to LA seven years ago. She worked as a high fashion photographer. Than her boss got caught up in a scandal and she was blacklisted unfairly as well. Hannah moved back to texas and started an event planning business. Linda was a photographer from Dallas who became hannah’s business partner. When Linda got injured she took a job for Linda. Hannah goes to the event and meets up with an old friend Jason- who is Roarke’s best friend. Jason’s fiance wants Hannah to do the planning for the event they are launching. It is in Sweetwater. It is to be a Christmas festival. She would have to spend a lot of time with roarke as he was part of the committee. Roarke was now a veterinarian now. Hannah literally runs into Roiarke at the airport. Hannah tries to stay away from Roarke both physically and emotionally Hannah nor Roarke had ever got over each other. 

I really enjoyed this book. It was an easy heartwarming second chance romance. I would have liked to see more of Hannah and Roarke working on their issues. There was a lot of back and forth in this book but in the end it was worth it. I loved the ending. I advise you to read the first book in this series for a smoother read. I loved how everyone in the town pitched in to help Hannah’s ideas happen. I cheered Roarke and Hannah on. I loved Roarke and hannah’s relationship and he could finally tell her the truth. Hannah and roarke definitely had great chemistry. I wish I could rate this 4.5 I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I recommend it.
