Texas – Present Day

Rancher Daisy Dalton appreciates having the Murphy family as close neighbors. They are always helping her on her ranch, and she is willing to help them. The oldest, Finn Murphy, is like Daisy’s best friend. She can talk to him about almost anything. Just after Christmas, a snowstorm leaves Daisy stranded at the Murphy house—alone with Finn as his two brothers are stranded in town with their respective girlfriends. Daisy and Finn hunker down as the power goes out and there’s not much to do except talk—and they begin feeling the heat of desire between them. After Finn discovers Daisy’s list of personal things to do, such as having a fling, he does the only thing a man who is attracted to a woman can do. He offers himself as her lover. Daisy agrees to a fling that should end once they are no longer stranded. After all, neither wants to jeopardize their friendship. But once they have sex, will they have crossed a bridge they can’t ever go back?

It's friends to lovers for Daisy and Finn in HER NEW YEAR’S WISH LIST, the latest from Makenna Lee. Daisy wants to settle down and start a family, while Finn has had his fill of kids after raising his two younger brothers after their parents died when he was a teen. With their future goals so far apart, one can understand why they don’t see each other as potential mates, yet a sizzling awareness between them awakens desire during their time stranded. Resigning herself to the knowledge that Finn doesn’t want children, Daisy finally decides she can scratch the itch burning between them. But will a brief fling be enough? After all, they live next door and see each other all the time.

HER NEW YEAR’S WISH LIST is an intriguing tale about a couple turning from friends to lovers, where they soon discover they want more with each other. But how will it work? Can it even happen? Meanwhile, Daisy wonders about “her child” out there. Years ago, she had donated her eggs to a woman who wanted a baby. On her wish list is the opportunity to meet her child. Will she get a chance? Finn has a bit of surprise toward the end which I won’t get into as it is a spoiler. Will all that happens to them outside of their fling affect their future? Readers will have to read this tale to find out the answer. 

If you love tales featuring friends and lovers, then HER NEW YEAR’S WISH LIST is the read for you.
