This book is actually the first book of two that involve a couple of friends. I read the second one first, but let me tell ya, I loved them both. Christie Ridgway knows how to capture your heart and her books are kind of hard to put down once you start reading.
From back of book

Second in a series. The first being Must Love Mistletoe which I posted last month. Great read!

Great as usual. Will always pick up a Christie Ridgway book. This is Hannah and Tanner's story, who was in her previous novel, Must Love Mistletoe.
Excellent compainon piece to "Must Love Mistletoe", Finn & Bailey make a brief appearance, but the story is definitely about the Hart brothers, Tanner & Troy.
I enjoyed this book emensely, and would definitely read more Christine Ridgeway books.
A New Year is for could posibly mean "A New Beginning" Despite unseen dangers & hangovers is Hannah willing to risk her slowly healing broken heart a chance to find Love again? This is a fun fast read. Another fun read by Christie Ridgeway.
