This was a nice little story to read cozied up by a December fire. The writing wasn’t perfect and the characters were frustrating at times but the story moved along and I enjoyed reading it. It’s also refreshing to read romances where people don’t just jump into bed together immediately. That just doesn’t say “Christmas” to me. Also this was free on kindle so I had nothing to lose. Recommend for a fairly light Christmas read.

There were several times they would attempt to spend time together; but something always came up! This is a story that is a yes/no relationship. Personally, I felt the yes/no could have had less circumstances. It was well written. The characters & conversations were believable. To find out how this story ends you will have to read it!

Just a small recommendation, when writing a book. If you're going to start the book off with something sad, show MORE of the relationship, esp the main character, before the sad happens. It will mean more later, when you want people to get the main character's grief. sigh
This story had potential but ended up being just 'meh' for me. There were a lot of flowery words, descriptions and such that were completely unnecessary. ☹️ I so wish I could've enjoyed this one more.

Great book
I love all books by Emily Josephine. This one has a little mystery, a lot of love and forgiveness. What a blessing she is.

I loved this story
I enjoyed the fact that their hearts healed separately but they did it together. God's mercy was shown throughout this story. I loved this story

Touching
A good, clean romance with multiple storylines that are full of drama and suspense. I enjoyed reading this story and cried a few happy tears at the end.
