~ Synopsis ~
Waitress Tess Branson has earned a bad reputation, and the nickname "Fast Tessie," as result of her poor judgment where men are concerned. Tess learned from a young age that men – of all ages – were interested in one thing from her and one thing only. But all Tess ever really wanted was to connect with someone special – to mean something to someone. Lucas Flynn, the short order cook at the restaurant where Tess works, has just been released on parole. He’s trying to get his life back on track, but can’t help noticing the pretty waitress who treats him kindly, despite his past. At Lucas’s urging, Tess makes a wish on a star, but they’ll have to rely on the magic of Christmas to help it come true.
The Christmas Wish is a novella and can be read as a standalone.
Review
The meaning behind this book is amazing, as is same with the first book.
In whole the book was good. It is written in third person and switches focus on both characters. I was not as intrigued by this book as I was with the first book, but the meaning behind the story is what makes this book good. Tess doesn't believe in wishes and Lucas is just the one to fulfill her wish.
She believes he is too good to be true and maybe she is right, but the book just goes way too fast for a story that would have been a lot better if given the proper time. I really like Lucas and what he stands for and I do like that we got this view into Tess. I just wish the author would have given us more.

About the Author
KATY REGNERY, winner of several regional RWA contests, has always loved telling a good story and credits her mother with making funny, heartwarming tales come alive throughout her childhood. A lifelong devotee of all romance writing from Edwardian to present-day, it was just a matter of time before Katy tried her hand at writing a love story of her own.
As it turned out, one love story turned into a series of five Heart of Montana romances, following the love lives of the Yellowstone-based Lindstrom siblings. In addition to small-town contemporary romance, Katy is presently writing a paranormal romance that takes place in northern New England and the forests north of Quebec.
Speaking of forests, Katy lives in the relative-wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut where her writing room looks out at the woods and her husband, two young children and two dogs create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very best love stories of all are the messy and unexpected ones.

By Proxy was magical!
Jenny is the good church going girl. She has three brothers, so she knows how to stick up for herself and take everything in stride. She also knows how to face her feelings, but also push them away when the future seems impossible.
Sam is from out of town. Loves Montana, but doesn't get around much. He is quite the work-a-holic. He knows Jenny isn't like most girls he goes for, but he also knows he won't deny how he feels. Unfortunately there is no way it can work.
For now though, they still have to get married.
By Proxy is written in third person. It exchanges focus on each character. The story is well written and I fell completely in love with it and it's characters. I love that they are both stubborn, but given the chance at misery they finally start thinking. The story is definitely highly recommended!
