Title: The Santa Run
Author: Beth Pugh
Series: Pine Valley Holiday
Tradition Isn't the Only Thing on the Line This Christmas
As Christmas rounds the bend, Eliza Lee Elliott struggles with her grandfather's death. Though her faith has carried her through the grief, working at the Appalachian Express has kept her sane, especially her new task of coordinating The Santa Run. Pine Valley's oldest tradition not only serves the community, the run gives her purpose. Bennett Olsen is tired of city life. Something's got to give, and when McCoy Railway purchases the Appalachian Express, it gives in a big way. Supervising the Kentucky acquisition is his chance to slow down and win back the attention of his boss--and father--with a job well done.
When an accident threatens the Santa Run, Eliza and Bennett are pushed together at every turn, making their growing attraction impossible to ignore. As time ticks down to the event, tradition isn't the only thing in jeopardy. Hearts are on the line, with or without a train on the tracks.

My Thoughts
It's clear the anticipation for the Christmas season has arrived. Christmas commercials haven't started but books and movies are beginning to show up on TV and in bookstores.
This was my first Christmas read and it has all the cozy warmth and sweetness of a Hallmark movie; with a city boy coming in to prove himself to daddy and in doing so upends Eliza's tradition; which is keeping her somewhat sane during the Christmas season.
Beth Pugh has created the perfect little town to set this story in. I'm not a small-town person, but it has all the fun and sweetness of a small town I'd like to live in.
The train excursion itself to a depressed area to help the needy is what Christmas is all about and I just loved it!
This is a perfect holiday read; filled with family, faith, and fun!
