Synopsis

Three days before Christmas, Matt Jensen is traveling the Denver and Pacific railway when an avalanche slams down onto the train, trapping it in desolate Trout Creek Pass. But it wasn't an act of nature that caused the accident; it was a gang of outlaws attempting to rescue their leader, who is being taken to Red Cliff to be hanged.

As Smoke Jensen and Duff MacCallister frantically try to make their way to the scene, Matt struggles to save the survivors, among them a beautiful young woman with a dark past, a merchant seaman turned rancher, and a senator with his very ill young daughter. Starving under a bitter, driving snow in the brutal, unforgiving Rocky Mountains, and surrounded by armed and desperate outlaws, Matt still dreams of making it home for Christmas. But unless fate lends a hand, nobody will.

I was expecting the shoot-um-ups as they used to be called, but this didn't have all that. The passengers on the stranded train had quite interesting personalities. Glad I......more

Goodreads review by Charlie on December 17, 2017

My first (and probably last) book by Mr. Johnstone. This is the stuff that Hallmark specials are made of. It was sweet and thank god, it was short. I wasn't expecting Lonesome Dove Christmas style so I wasn't that disappointed but I was hoping for just a little less cheese and sap. Oh well, I read i......more

Goodreads review by Sharone on December 03, 2020

The description of this book sounds great: villains cause an avalanche to free their leader from a train - cool! It takes a long time to get to this part of the book (nearly halfway), at which part it all becomes really tense. (spoiler alert!!!) However, this incredibly tense situation ends up being......more
