She's a travel nurse with a plan for her life. Work until she's 30, then marry a teacher and live a very stable happily ever after, making up for the broken home she was raised in.

He's a baseball player on the verge of breaking into the major leagues. When an injury lands Beau in the hospital, he instantly falls in love with his nurse Ivy, but Ivy knows a professional athlete (just like her father!) can never fit into her plan... but maybe she can set him up with her best friend Lucy.

Ivy has worked every Christmas for years, since her family stopped spending holidays together. This year she's supposed to spend the holiday with Lucy, but busy days and illness cause Ivy and Lucy to lose touch only to reconnect when Lucy announces her engagement, and Ivy can't believe things moved so quickly with her and Beau. Ivy agrees to change her plans to travel to Beau's hometown to celebrate Christmas with them...

...except the matchmaker has met her match. A series of misunderstandings, assumptions, and outright deceit land Ivy in a place where she's forced to either reevaluate her plans or stick to her guns. Are her plans God's plans? Or does He have something more amazing in store if only she can trust Him?

I really liked the setup of this book. All of Becca's books are based on massive misunderstandings, and this one might be the funniest yet. Like her other books, this one tends to stretch the mix-ups past suspension of disbelief so there's more eye-rolling than laughing, but I also appreciated the depth that was packed into this fun little Christmas novella. If you enjoy over-the-top stories with a side of faith, you might want to check this one out for next Christmas.
