REVIEW: Low Country Christmas by Lee Tobin McClain

Low Country Christmas by Lee Tobin McClain is the third book in her Safe Haven series. I didn’t read the first two books in the series but after reading this one and getting glimpses of the background stories of Cash’s two brothers in the first two books I definitely plan to go back and read those books.

Holly Gibson had a good life in New York City. She loved her job and all the amenities the Big Apple has to offer. Then her sister dies and leaves Holly with her one-year-old niece Penny and a mission to find Penny’s father to let him know he has a daughter. Holly travels to the small town of Safe Haven, SC to find Cash O’Dwyer. Cash is a multi-millionaire who has the ladies drooling over him and Cash has experienced enough of these ladies who are more interested in his money than in him. Cash acknowledges the week he spent with Holly’s sister Tiffany but Tiffany told him she was on birth control so Penny couldn’t be his daughter.

Fast forward to getting the results of the DNA test- Cash is indeed Penny’s father. Penny is an adorable baby and Cash finds himself drawn to her. The problem is he is drawn to her aunt also. Cash isn’t a settle-down kind of guy. Or is he?

Lee Tobin McClain has written a heartwarming story about 2 people who are attracted to each other and love a precious baby girl. They fight their attraction but fall in love with each other in the end. Setting this story during the Christmas season enhanced my enjoyment of the book. I enjoyed reading about the holiday traditions in Safe Haven and the family traditions as well. Safe Haven is a delightful small town where the community comes together and nobody is a stranger for long. My kind of town. I totally enjoyed this story!

Come home to Safe Haven, where the best Christmas surprises aren’t the ones under the tree.

Holly Gibson has one wish this Christmas season: to find her young niece’s father. And she’s traveled hundreds of miles to the small town of Safe Haven to make that wish come true. But the mysterious Cash O’Dwyer is nothing like she expected. Strong and kind, he makes her heart beat faster. And suddenly that little secret she’s keeping about her sister stirs up all kinds of guilt…

Cash is stunned—and more than a little wary—to discover he’s a father. Having a family of his own was never part of his plan…until sweet baby Penny and her fiercely independent aunt Holly arrive in town. Now he’s trimming trees and stuffing stockings for three. But when the ghosts of Cash’s past threaten the future of his fragile new family, he’ll do whatever it takes to be the father Penny needs—and the man Holly deserves—for more than just the holidays.
