Book Description

Maybe this Christmas can thaw his frozen heart--and heal hers.

Hollywood starlet Tia Beckett knows one moment can change your life. Her career had been on the fast track before a near-fatal accident left her with a debilitating facial scar. Certain her A-lister dreams are over, she agrees to house-sit at her producer’s secluded estate in Silver Springs. It’s the escape from the limelight Tia’s been craving, until she discovers she’s not the only houseguest for the holidays. And her handsome new roomie is impossible to ignore.

Artist Seth Turner has good reason to keep his distance. Losing his wife after only a few years of marriage has left a deep scar, even if he is still happy to spend a semester teaching art classes at the New Horizons Boys Ranch for troubled teens. Despite nursing her own wounds, Tia finds her curiosity piqued by enigmatic Seth, whom she recognizes as something of a kindred soul. Maybe spending Christmas together could be another game changer for both of them--this time, for good.

My Thoughts

When I started reading this book I had no clue it was the 10th in a series. Brenda wrote the book so well that it read as if it was a stand-alone story even though we met many of the characters from previous books. With that said I really loved this book.

When we first meet Tia she is recovering from a terrible accident. An accident changed the course of her life completely and I felt for her. Then in walked Seth.

At first, Seth comes across as slightly arrogant but we quickly realize he to is healing from a tragedy of his past.

Together Tia and Seth begin to heal and live again. 

The story of Tia and Seth isn't just a love story but a story of trust, healing, love, friendship, and the ability to find joy and happiness again when you feel you have lost everything.  

Brenda created a story so completing that I was swept into the lives of these characters. I am excited to go back to the beginning the read more about the people of Silver Springs.
