Product Description:
Celebrate the holidays with the Creed forefathers—Montana men who built the family homestead and established a legacy of love…
In the unforgiving Montana wilderness of 1910, widowed rancher Lincoln Creed is up against more than rustlers, wolves and the coming winter storms. His young daughter has needs beyond the beans and bacon he can barely cook. Lincoln must find little Gracie a governess, a lady who can teach and cook—yet won't set her sights on him.
Disowned for her refusal to marry, twenty-five-year-old Juliana Mitchell shares the love in her heart with her young students at the underfunded Indian school. When she meets Lincoln and Gracie, her response to the handsome rancher makes her realize she's not against marriage after all.
She longs to help, yet the two orphaned brothers in her care need her. But in the season for miracles, Providence just might find a way to bring Juliana, the boys and the Creed family together for Christmas Eve….

In Ms. Miller's A Creed Country Christmas we get to meet the ancestors of those bad boy modern day ranchers Tyler, Dylan and Logan of Silver Springs Montana from Linda's Montana Creed series. Be prepared to spend Christmas in the wilds of Montana just after the turn of the last century and meet some of the most memorable characters you ever will in this touching and heart wrenching story of Lincoln Creed and Juliana Mitchell.
Linda brings her characters to life with her descriptive dialogue as well as the bitter cold and blizzards of the Montana ranchers life where her words paint pictures for her readers so clearly that you can see the worry and joy on her character's faces. And not only her hero and heroine but all the characters are so well developed they could easily star in a story of their own. Her story line/plot is as always about family and how they came to be, about hard work, about love and about sacrifice that make her readers turning pages without stop. Her love scenes are tender and sweet and sensual. And the love story between Lincoln and Juliana is right out of the pages of our history books where widowed rancher finds and falls in love with schoolmarm. Only this schoolmarm has been teaching at the Indian school which has been disbanded and what she does with her students, well to find out you'll have to read the book.
And read you will in this page turner historical romance by one of America's top romance writers. Be prepared to laugh and cry to stomp your feet and want to knock some sense in some of our characters. But most of all be prepared to fall in love with the forefathers of the Creeds.

For the past several years Linda Lael Miller has released stories around the holidays that I have greatly enjoyed. This one did not disappoint. I hadn't read the earlier Creed books, but I realized that since this title was historical it could stand alone. Juliana and Lincoln are interesting characters that stand up for what they believe in and that's why they are perfect for each other. Both are compassionate and as the story progresses you really grow attached to the characters. The children in the story are written in a believable way that is neither irritating or too precocious. It's a short story and can probably be read in one sitting, so put on your pajamas, drink some hot cocoa and settle in for a great holiday read!

I bought this book just for the reason that Linda Lael Miller wrote it. I love all Linda's books, and this was no exception. It was a wonderful Christmas story where all of your Christmas wishes come true and there is a happy ending at the last turn of the page. I was very disappointed when I came to the end of this book, because it was the end. I loved it!

If you want just a light romantic Christmas tale-this is it! It's a typical LLM book. I hadn't cared for her other Montana Creed books-she has some I like-some that just don't ring true. However this one has all the key ingredients for a sentimental Christmas story. Julianna, a teacher at the Indian School has been left with 4 of her students-2 who are orphans-alone, homeless and of course no money. Step up Rancher Lincoln Creed, widower with a 7 year old intelligent little girl who wants nothing more than to go to school. OF course he takes them all to his ranch and what transpires from there is fairly predictable but still makes for a nice heart warming tale. It's a story of Lincoln learning to let go of a past love and Julianna letting someone help her after years of handling things alone. I will have to say I miss a dog or cat or pet of some kind in the story-there usually seems to be at least one in Linda's books but alas none here. However, it's a quick light read so if you're in the mood for a fun Christmas romance-try this one.

Loved the book and writing but to charge 9.99 for a half-sized book is very disappointing. I don't mind paying for a full price book but this is half the length of most novels.
Great story and writing :)
