review 1: This is one of the Christmas fiction novels I won from a contest Christmas in July. When I looked at the cover and even read the description of the book I thought I was going to be reading a light hearted Christmas novel. I was wrong. It's about a young emotionally unstable woman who has visions and this Christmas Angela Steinhard has a premonition that the shopping mall where some of her artwork is displayed will be bombed on a busy shopping day Christmas Eve. She reports this to security at the mall, police and her parents. I feel sorry for Angela because she is a very lonely person with no friends but rich parents that don't pay attention to her. Her mother's character is someone I would never want to meet . All she thinks of is putting Angela in a mental instit... moreution and what will other people think. Her father is ok just busy with his job, flying to other countries. The security manager Heather does believe Angela. Heather tells her boss Lex and together they determine the credibility of the story. The two develop a romance but it is a very minor portion of the story. That's it for romance in this book if that's what fans are looking for in this novel. Angela does meet a friend at the mall Charlie Roman. He works at the mall in maintenance. During the Christmas season he helps Santa with the children. He is a very lonely man who has been bullied almost all his life. Angela steps into his life as a friend and his idea of blowing up the mall seems to dissipate. If this was a story that if it would have taken place any other time than Christmas I believe I would have enjoyed the book more. Never judge a book by it's cover.
review 2: The story was good, but it was nothing like the description on the back cover. If I had wanted to read a book about Heather Andrews, who by the description is the main character, I would have been very disappointed. Also it was much more of a suspense story than a romance. It honestly had next to no romance at all. The other thing was it would have been about 50 pages shorter had the author cut out some of the millions of scenes of mall staff sitting around arguing and trying to figure out what to do. It got very, VERY repetitive. less
