5 Stars - with a heart!
ABOUT THE BOOK -
A First Love. A Second Chance.
A young widow travels to New York on business a few days before
Christmas. She has reluctantly made a date with a lover she hasn't seen
in 20 years, and she is nervous and apprehensive. Twenty years before,
she made a difficult decision that has both troubled and haunted her
ever since. She knows she's about to come face-to-face with her past and
she's hoping for some redemption and resolution. She also wonders if
she can somehow pick up where she left off 20 years ago and start again.
An
exciting chance encounter changes everything. Now, not only will she
face the past with hope to rekindle an old romance, but there is the
possibility that this chance meeting will bring her love and happiness
she never thought possible.
Once again, she will have to
choose. She will have to make the right decision. She will have to
believe that Christmas miracles can still happen.

MY THOUGHTS -
This was the sweetest and most romantic book I have read in a very long time. I just loved it - beginning, middle and end. I read this book in one day, almost in one sitting. The only time I put it down was when I had to cry for a while.
Excellent character development. Olivia was great. She seemed so real to me. I really felt her personality, like I knew her.
I absolutely loved Brett! He was so sweet, romantic, kind of innocent in a child kind of way. I would love to have really know him.
I was about 2/3 of the way through and my iPad started flashing the message that I had only 10% battery power left. I was sitting downstairs by the fire and had no outlet near me, but I was so determined to keep reading. I plugged it in across the room and sat on the floor to finish the book. It was THAT good!
And then towards the end... well I can't tell you!
But I cried so hard I had to put the iPad down. I cried right up to the perfect ending.
A truly beautiful and amazing story! I just love these kinds of books at Christmas time - magical!
