Publisher Description
It’s the time of year for miracles…
Once upon a time, Lula and Carter were inseparable. But when Lula refused Carter’s proposal one Christmas Eve—unwilling to abandon her hometown—the holiday lights went out in her heart. She gave up on romance and embraced a hermit’s existence, keeping her distance from untamed cowboys.
Until now…
Years of hard knocks have taught Carter that the greatest adventure is the one he once found in Lula’s arms. He’s back in Lonesome Point determined to win her back, but Lula is just as determined to keep her heart under lock and key.
She gives Carter twelve days—and twelve dates—to make his case before she sends him packing.
Soon, however, not even Lula Scrooge can deny she and Carter go together like cocoa and cookies.
But when Lula’s old fears are reawakened, it may take a holiday miracle to keep them together.

Review: Lonesome Point, Texas 2.5: Twelve Dates of Christmas
Twelve Dates of Christmas: The Ballad of Lula Joe by Jessie Evans is a novella in her series. This is the sweetly tragic tale of young love gone wrong and second chances and all they can bring. Lula and Carter were in love - until he insisted on leaving Lonesome Point and she refused. The turn of events around this forever soured Christmas time for Lula, and while she put on a good face year after year, inside she was Scrooge and The Grinch all rolled into one. When the appearance of a Christmas garden gnome threatens to rock her world all bets are off and there is no more room for bah-humbug and small hearts.
A heart-warming, well-paced Christmas time story with Characters that you feel like you know and appearances from old friends from other books in the series. One of my favorite authors - highly recommend!

Review of Twelve Dates of Christmans by Jessie Evans
Another 5++ star read -- Lula's story
This book is all about Lula, whom we met in previously in Mia's story, as well as Bubba's (with no cliffhanger). Lula is Mia's cousin, and a recipient of her pranks - most notably when Mia pantied her gnomes. I had a feeling we would get around to her story at some point, and boy was I happy to get it.
We start out 11 years ago, when Lula and Carter were an item. Carter is an archeologist and treasure hunter and ready to move on to the next big thing. Lula is expecting a ring, thanks to her Aunt blabbing about it, and is devastated when he wants her to leave Lonesome Point and travel with him. When she runs away from him, he leaves town without her. It takes eleven years for him to make it back to her, but will his love be enough to break her out of the walls she has set up around her heart? Can they make it work this time?
Sometimes, you have to admit that money isn't as important as the love of a good woman. I am looking forward to reading the next story in this series. Jessie keeps writing amazing stories and we get to reap the rewards.
