Book Review - Her Holiday Man by Shannon Stacey
ABOUT THE BOOK
Christina Forrester is starting over. After a financial scandal sent her ex-husband to prison, she's left raising her young son without any of the comforts of their old life. Budgets, coupons, lawn care—you name it, she's learning to do it all on her own. Well, almost on her own—she'd be lost without Gail Broughton, the kind widow across the street. But when Gail's son comes home, Christina's vow to never trust a man again is put to the test.
Will Broughton left town because he was tired of being "that poor man" who lost his wife and unborn child in a tragic accident. But years have passed and, with his dad gone and his mom alone, it's time to go home. Only his mother's not alone. She's taken Christina under her wing, and the beautiful and determined single mother awakens something in Will he thought was buried forever.
As Will and Christina are forced to spend more time together, feelings that are more than neighborly grow between them. And with Christmas coming and a child filling both houses with holiday cheer, it becomes nearly impossible not to embrace the joy—and the love—in their lives.
REVIEW
This is a very sweet Christmas read. I had a difficult time connecting with the characters at first, but I think that is mostly due to it being a novella. While it was not my favorite story by Shannon Stacey, it was still very enjoyable and sentimental.
If you love a good heartwarming holiday story, this book is for you. Fans of Stacey’s that do not typically enjoy this genre will still enjoy the story.
OVERALL RATING - 4 STARS!
MATURITY RATING - 18+ a little steamy
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shannon Stacey lives with her husband and two sons in New England, where her two favorite activities are writing stories of happily ever after and riding her four-wheeler. From May to November, the Stacey family spends their weekends on their ATVs, making loads of muddy laundry to keep Shannon busy when she's not at her computer. She prefers writing to laundry, however, and considers herself lucky she got to be an author when she grew up.
