After a year of being apart from her family due to work, Belle Taylor has finally come home for Christmas. And what a Christmas it is! A surprise kiss under the mistletoe from her childhood crush, Rafe Bettencourt, surprises the heck out of Belle. But she is also starting to think about something other than work for once, and thinking about Rafe is a much more pleasant occupation.

Rafe has been waiting for this moment for a long time. He can no longer contain his feelings for Belle, a woman he has grown up with. But now she is so much more to him. He knows there are some complications, her job for one, but he is determined to make this a Christmas to remember for both of them!

From its completely romantic beginning to its oh so sensual end, I loved every word of Lauren Dane's To Do List. Rafe is sexuality personified but in such a wonderful way. He is friendly, mischievous, loving, mature, and knows what he wants. If you're tired of arrogant heroes, than Rafe is sure to please. Belle is also a heroine you will enjoy. She has her goals, and is very organized about accomplishing success at her law firm, but she does not let that derail her from Rafe. Compromise plays a big part in this story, not only in the main relationship, but in the characters' internal actions. The warmth of farm life, of family, and of Christmas traditions pervades this story, casting a rosy glow on Rafe and Belle's future. This is a love story that felt natural and right from beginning to end. Ms. Dane is definitely becoming a master of the romantic pen!
