About The Author

My Review

This is a delightful, feel-good romantic comedy that perfectly blends humor, heart, and a whole lot of animal mischief. Riley Bernard has her life carefully mapped out—working at a resort in Sedona is just another stop on her mission to work in all fifty states. But when she rescues a limping stray dog, her tidy plans unravel in the most unexpected (and adorable) way.

Hiding the dog at work seems like a good idea—until Riley discovers the cabin already occupied by the irresistibly charming Daniel Acker. Soon, Riley and Daniel find themselves thrown together by the dog’s antics and their growing connection. But with a strict boss and a parade of other animals needing rescue, chaos (and chemistry) ensue.

Metz’s writing sparkles with warmth and wit, creating a story that’s as much about following your heart as it is about finding love in unexpected places. With its sweet romance, lovable animals, and message of compassion, this book is a perfect comfort read for animal lovers and hopeless romantics alike.

Crashing my F1 race car leaves me broken, drugged, and barely holding on—but wide awake when I see her. A woman in a nun’s habit standing at my bedside. For one unhinged moment, I think I’m hallucinating. Until I realize the impossible truth. She’s real. And she’s finally mine.

My Review

This is a tender, small-town holiday romance that beautifully blends second chances, forgiveness, and community spirit. Returning to Adelaide Creek to care for his recovering father, lawyer Sloan Lancaster doesn’t expect to reconnect with Bethany, his former high school crush and now the capable manager of the Winding Creek Rehab and Care Center.

Bethany is juggling the demands of single motherhood and her dream of restoring the care center to its former warmth and vitality. When Sloan quietly donates money to help fund the renovations, his secret generosity backfires, threatening their growing connection. What follows is a heartfelt journey of truth, trust, and rediscovering what really matters.

McCullough excels at capturing the nuances of small-town life—where compassion, gossip, and holiday magic intertwine. Both Sloan and Bethany are mature, relatable characters navigating love after loss and disappointment. With themes of healing, gratitude, and the courage to open one’s heart again, A Wyoming Family Holiday is a warm, uplifting story perfect for readers who believe in second chances and Christmas miracles.
