The magic of Christmas
Could make her wish come true!
A small-town Christmas wedding. What could be more romantic? Unless you’re a plus-one for hire like single mom Maia MacKenzie. Too bad handsome cowboy Brent Hayes is her new coworker—and completely off-limits! Neither of them can afford to lose their job…or invest in a relationship. But when she sees Brent’s adorable connection with her young son, Maia can’t help wishing for a Christmas miracle.

My Thoughts:
A Secret Christmas Wish was a very unique read in a few different ways. First both Maia and Brent work for Maia's sister in a business that is unusual, or at least I had never heard of one like it. It is called Your Perfect Plus One and it is a service for those who do not have a date for a wedding. The client would make a story up, even a name for the dater and pretend they were in a relationship. That was all nothing more and only that one incident. It was a little weird but that is where Brent and Maia meet at a wedding that they are both working. Brent just started but their attraction is very obvious, and for their clients' sakes they have to be careful.
Maia needs this job so she can compete in a rodeo and she has a very cute little boy from a past and painful relationship. Her little boy also takes a liking to Brent and Brent is great with him.
Brent also worked for the rodeo but quit because he viewed himself as a failure. Brent was dealing with some major depression for most of the book. He had issues with his father and he was just really hard on himself. Poor Maia tried hard to help him, but she did not have the skills.
Their relationship was one of ups and downs and was technically not allowed since they both worked for Your Perfect Plus One. This book does take a look at depression and how it can affect your life, even the quality of it. Maia was a bit over her head in how to deal with Brent. Her advice to him seemed like she wasn't listening to him, but she really was doing her best to help him.
