Black Hills Secret Santa: a Hollywood-meets-the-real-wild-west contemporary romance series (Black Hills Rendezvous Book 6) Kindle Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 29 ratings

Man up and come out of hiding—or the dream dies.

As the dreaded holidays approach, Rufus Miller breaks his golden rule: silence. Sentinel Pass’s resident recluse may be a social outcast with rusty people skills, but with his late brother’s legacy hanging in the balance, he’ll try anything to sell his Dream Houses—the rustic, three-dimensional “dream catchers” he creates from branches and bark. To fully engage the Christmas market, he requires a marketing ninja. Rachel Grey drives a Porsche and dresses like a runway model who made a wrong turn at Denver, but her positivity could woo a hermit crab from its shell. Maybe she’s the answer to a wish he’s never allowed himself to make.

Is her new client a living, breathing Sasquatch—or Santa Claus in the making?

Rachel Grey’s career re-boot in the Black Hills of South Dakota requires a big, splashy marketing campaign. Discovering this year’s “must have” Christmas gift—a novel, one-of-a-kind sort of “wishing jar” to hold secrets, hopes and dreams written on rolled slips of paper—could be just the ticket. Convincing backwoods artisan and self-imposed outcast Rufus Miller to shed his disguise and rejoin humanity brings unexpected benefits—like falling in love. Until Rufus’s past—and true identity—threatens to ruin everything.

Black Hills Secret Santa is Book 6 in the 12-book Black Hills Rendezvous series. If you’re a fan of deeply emotional stories that make you smile through your tears, you’ll fall in love with Debra Salonen’s wounded hero fighting to keep his dream alive and the woman who rescues him while inadvertently opening the door to his past.

Lovers of holiday romances won’t want to miss
Black Hills Secret Santa—where a bit of Christmas magic reminds two lost souls that love is the reason for the season.

    I think this is my favourite of the series! Rachel's helpless honesty and frank responses made me laugh. Rufus's whimsical but insightful creativity touched me - plus I like a man who steps up for his girl. There are some great visual moments too!
    The vein of recognition of wishes and aspirations, hope and second chances, runs through the book in many different situations and the reason for Rufus's solitude is the grit within the pearl of this book.
    It wouldn't be Black Hills without family, dogs, gossip, fun and some hot romance - plus a magical ending!
    This is part of a series but you don't have to have read them in sequence, Black Hills Outcast more than delivers on its own.

    This was a witty and touching story. Rufus has a great sense of humor for a reclusive yeti-man. Rachel was wonderful in how she struggled with discovering her true self - out from under her controlling mother and cheating ex. All of the secondary characters added to the story and made me wish that Sentinel Pass was a real town I could visit - or move to.

    I received this book from ebook discovery in exchange for an honest review.
    I loved the main characters in this book. Both had pasts that they wanted to forget but really it was making them doubt themselves.
    The chemistry between the two was so strong & I loved the way they talked to each other.
    This is my first book by this author but will read more.

    Loved R Mil*** and Rachel together, she's totally motivated and he's not into promoting himself. First Black Hills book I've read but won't be the last.
