After serving in the Army, Luke Harlow returns home in time for the holidays to help his brothers raise their twelve-year-old half-sister. With his new job as Marietta’s police officer, Luke finds himself in the middle of a festive mystery that the entire town will want solved before Christmas morning.

Mary Best is Marietta Courier’s most promising young reporter. When she starts spending time with sexy Luke Harlow to write an article about his heroic military service, she begins to suspect there’s more to this new police recruit than meets the eye. He’s kind, generous, and very mysterious. When anonymous gifts start appearing around town for people in need, Mary knows there’s a story there. A magical one. It doesn’t take long for the breadcrumbs to lead right back to Luke.

As the gifts pile up, so does everyone’s urge to unmask Marietta’s secret Santa. Luke is deeply private, and Mary is deeply curious- opposites who’ll find themselves tumbling toward each other amidst the snowy backdrop of a town fully embraced in the spirit of Christmas. But when Mary uncovers Luke’s secret, will she be able to bury her reporter’s instincts for the sake of love? And will Luke finally be able to trust someone with his heart?

For Kaylie Newell, storytelling is in the blood. Growing up the daughter of two writers, she knew eventually she'd want to follow in their footsteps. While she's written short stories her whole life, it wasn't until after her kids were born that she decided to shoot for the moon and write her first romance novel. She's now the proud author of over twenty books, including the RITA® finalists, Christmas at The Graff and Tanner's Promise.

Kaylie lives in Southern Oregon with her husband, two daughters, a rambunctious terrier mix, a blind Doberman, and two indifferent cats.

When you just want something sweet and simple

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

Marietta is the town that we'd all like to live in. The town is filled with good people willing to help each other. It's nice to get away to Marietta once in a while. This is a simple story of a new police officer who has returned home after three tours of Afghanistan. He loves Marietta although his growing up years there were harsh. He soon meets a young reporter who has been offered a job in New York that could be the step up to her journalistic dream. Sparks fly almost immediately although he is reluctant to get involved with someone who may soon be leaving. When a "Secret Santa" starts leaving gifts on doorsteps in town, Mary sees this as the perfect Christmas story for the paper. Little does she know that the Santa is Luke, who does NOT want to be discovered! This was a nice, feel good story but it sure did have a couple of holes in it. For one, who the heck would leave money, travel tickets, and gift cards on the front mat of a house? They could easily have been blown away, chewed up by a dog...or horrors!...stolen. That part was definitely not well thought out. Otherwise, it is a cute but unlikely story that will give you the feels. If you like Hallmark movies, you will love this one.

Note to author: You really should have someone edit or at least proofread your work. Great writing, but mistakes kept pulling me out of the story.

Better than the first story...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2019

Wow! This story grabbed me right from the start. Mary is a bull dog when it comes to sniffing out a story. As a Journalist, she's always looking for the next story. And this time she's got her sights set on the new cop in town, but for than just her next story. Will her tenacity scare the new man off? Or will he dazzle her to the point of distraction.

Like is back in Marietta after serving his country. After 3 long furlows in Afganistan, he's more than ready to call it quots and head home again. Where he meets one of the most beautiful women he's ever laid eyes on. But he's realized that this woman has a few trusts isssues, but why? Can he get her to turn or a new leaf, or will they just part ways?

This story will warm your heart with hope and love. Both characters have their own problems to overcome, but together anything is possible. Anytime Marietta, MT is involved, I'm there. I loved the secret Santa take on the story. More towns could use people like Luke. And how sweet was it that he got his little sister to be his look out? Loved Scooter, too.

This is a story that I would recommend to everyone.

Lots of problems, but still a good book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

Insta-lust – the first few chapters are filled with thoughts from each about how sexy the other’s body is. But maybe that’s how people think today?

The obstacle separating the h & H is too one-dimensional.

Lots of misuse of words: squelch does not mean turn on; reign and rein are different words. In the author’s favor, she usually uses the comma in apposition: “Merry Christmas, officer.” But sometimes she forgets: At Loc 208, “this is for you sweetheart.”

There are also lapses in logic – one example is that the envelopes are left overnight on people’s doorsteps. What if it snows overnight? And will someone necessarily look down when stepping out the front door in the morning? Another example is when the H tells his sister that he could give the Secret Santa items from paycheck to paycheck, but this way (by borrowing from the bank) he can do more. Sorry – by borrowing from the bank, some of the money must go back to the bank to pay interest (probably a large amount since the author specifies that it’s a loan, presumably unsecured, and will have a high rate of interest).

The heroine is a superb reporter – everyone tells us so. Her boss says it, she’s asked to move to NYC by a paper there, etc. I never see anything showing how she’s such a good reporter, I just have to take the narrator’s word for it.

A minor complaint with the formatting: “Go to beginning” takes you to the title page, page 4. The story doesn’t start until page 54. The rest is copyright and about the author.

So why, if I have this many complaints, am I giving a high rating? Because I wanted to finish it, and that means it was well-written. I hope the author can live up to her potential as she gains more experience.

Marietta at Christmas is Amazing Come and Find out Why

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

I love Marietta, Montana! It is my adopted hometown. I have no problem that this town is not real because to me and so many others this town feels real. And one of the reasons that it does is because of authors like Kaylie Newell and her latest book Luke's Gift. Luke is one of 3 brothers who have come home to help raise their half sister after the death of their mom. This is the second book in the Harlow series and I have to say one that had me with feel good goose bumps throughout the entire book. Ex Military man, now police officer comes back to town and with the help of his 14 year old step sister who I got to know in Tanner's Promise they arrange to be "Secret Santa" for the town. While he is planning this Mary the one of the town's reporters decides to get to know him better and write an article on the Hometown Hero. But more that that Mary and Luke have sparks that sizzle between them. You really should read both books but its not necessary to enjoy this one. I can not express how much I love this town and this family, The Harlows. I invite you to not only spend Christmas in Marietta but consider being a Secret Santa yourself if possible this year. You don't have to do something big... Something little might touch some one just as much.

Paying it forward

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 2, 2023

This story was about paying favours forward. Everything in life is about what we do and feel at some stage in the journey. For Luke and Mary it was about trusting each other. This was the final test for them before they could admit their love for each other.

I loved this book and what it represented it's not all about the present it's about the love behind it. It's a beautiful written book one I enjoyed whole heartedly. I loved how he was sharing it with his sister.It was so beautiful at the end
