My Review:

Mrs. James is another new author to me. I really liked the sound of the synopsis of this book. Plus hey it dealt with Christmas. And who doesn’t love to read a good Christmas story at Christmas time?
Oh and on the plus plus side it also dealt with my other favorite sub-genre of a single parent. So I jumped at the chance to be able to read this story.

I really liked Julia in this book. I thought that she was a strong lead character. I felt for her and her losses. I also thought she was sweet, kind, and caring. I also loved that she still obviously had a strong relationship with her former husband that she lost family. You could tell how much she and they cared for each other.

Oh Chase.... I loved Chase to death. Of course he had that whole single daddy thing going for him. I felt for him and his daughter with everything they had been through. Right off the bat you could tell Chase had, had feelings for Julia for a very long time.

I thought that this was a very sweet romance story. Mrs. James hooked me in from the first page to the last. Although at times it was pretty predictable it was still very enjoyable. Also I really enjoyed the lighter moments that made me giggle.

I’m giving this book 4.5 Stars out of 5 and will have to read the rest in this series!!!!
