review 1: I really enjoy Susan Wiggs'books and gave this one 5 stars. There are lots of reviews of it on here so I will just say that if you're in the mood to get set for Christmas, this will most certainly do that for you. The way that Susan writes about Christmas and sets the scenes is perfect. I always appreciate how she manages to evoke the Christmas season and feeling and then descriptions of the weather and the seasonal feelings in the community and is so heart warming. If you want to settle down and just enjoy a good story with a warm drink and a biscuit, this one will fit the bill perfectly. So it has a predictable ending but I would have to say that is actually what you want for it. It is Christmas after all.
review 2: Reviewed by CrystalBook provided by NetGall... moreey for reviewReview originally posted at Romancing the BookThis book will probably get you into the Christmas spirit so I will warn you before you start reading it.Darcy Fitzgerald has been through a rough year. She found out that the man she loved was sleeping with his ex-wife. So five years of marriage had went down the drain. She loved his two kids even if they were spoiled rotten teenagers. They didn’t really show her much love until the marriage was over. She has made a promise to herself to not get involved with anyone else that has kids and she doesn’t want any of her own. She has decided to watch her heart because it hurts too much when it gets broken. She doesn’t live that way through everything else in her life. She loves outdoor sports and she loves the feeling it gives her when she is doing something that could cost her to get hurt. She never tells her family about her ex cheating on her because the two families spend all holidays together every year. Especially since her sister is married to her ex’s brother.Logan O’Donnell has been through a divorce and he only hates that he doesn’t get to spend a lot of time with his son Charlie. It is even worse when he finds out that his ex is moving to Japan. There will be even more separating himself from his son. He knows that his sister is trying to set him up and he doesn’t like the women that his family does until Darcy. Darcy is nothing at all what he thought she would be. He tries to fight his feelings but he gives in and wants more than Darcy does.This was a great and wonderful holiday read. I can see how it would be hard to trust anyone when you are a person who puts their whole heart and soul into something. That is the kind of person Darcy is. She loves children and to protect herself she vows to not get that close to children again. I know how hard divorce can be on someone and I liked seeing the side of a dad dealing with separation from his son. That is something that you never get to see much of. It is also hard on the children and always puts them on the spot when they have to choose between parents. The author did a great job showing us the emotions and it brought me closer to the story. You get to see how families come together and no matter what happens they are always there for you.This book had a great storyline and was evenly paced. It made you want to believe in the miracle of Christmas and that your dreams can come true. It just made you hope that there is that special someone out there for you. I just wished that all families where like the one in this book. less
