Ellie Bell has been a widow for several years. It’s been difficult
raising her daughter, Amelia, alone, but this year the mist of grief
is lifting. She wants to make a real Christmas for her daughter. She
also wants to move on. She wants to kiss a man under the mistletoe,
dance, and have fun.
Caleb Dalton has
been Ellie’s salvation. He was Clint, her husband’s best friend,
and although Ellie doesn’t know it, he’s always loved her. As
Christmas approaches, Caleb is also thinking of moving on. He’s
bought a ranch of his own. If he moves there he won’t be as close
and suddenly Ellie realizes how much she depends on him and will miss
him. The scene is set for Christmas magic and acknowledging love.
This book is part of
a series about the Daltons. The characters have a long history with
each other which forms part of the background in the early chapters.
It’s not difficult to catch up, but it takes a bit to keep the
backstory straight.
Ellie and Caleb are
struggling with acknowledging how they feel for each other and that
they’ve felt this way for a long time. I was glad to see them
finally getting together. However, one of my favorite characters is
Amelia. She’s such a happy little girl. You want to have Caleb and
Ellie get together so she can have her perfect family.
I received this book
from Harlequin for this review.
