My Take:
4 Stars!
I really enjoyed this Novella of 95 pages, it really packs a bunch of Christmas joy! This book is part of a series, but can be read alone for the season.
In this novella, it is Samantha who comes back home from fighting in the war, and not a man. This was definitely different because we are so used to it always being a man in this type of a situation. Not this time.
Samantha thought she could handle her demons from the war alone, but she quickly learns she cannot. These two have a daughter, and even though their daughter is not Patrick’s biological daughter, he feels as if she is. He feels such a loss without his wife and daughter as Samantha is trying to readjust to being back home now, but they are far away from Patrick, and being far away, and separate, is not quite working.
They come back together, and they find sparks still fly between them.
This was a very enjoyable romance novella, the first one I’ve read by Jessica Scott, and I would like to read more by her.
I received this book from the author for review purposes.
