Book Description

Angi Guilardi needs a man for Christmas—at least, according to her mother. What she really needs is to grow her fledgling catering business. Partnering with Magnolia’s Wildflower Inn holds promise, but when her mother falls ill, Angi’s pulled back to the responsibility of the family restaurant. While she balances work and her eight-year-old son, romance is the last thing on her mind…until Angi runs into Gabriel Carlyle.

Back in town to help his grandmother at her flower shop, Gabriel has no plans to stick around Magnolia, especially after he bumps into one of his childhood bullies. Sure, Angi’s all grown up and gorgeous now, and when they find themselves under the mistletoe, their chemistry is undeniable. But it’ll take more than a Christmas miracle for Angi to break through the defenses of Gabriel’s well-guarded heart and find a love built to last.

My Thoughts

I must say when I learned this was the second book in a series and was nervous to start reading it as I was afraid I would miss something by not reading the first book. I was so wrong.

This book can be read as a stand-alone and was very good. It was a perfect holiday read for me. 

This was a classic story of friends who become enemies because one of them betrays the other for their own selfish reasons. The years later as adults are thrown together due to work. This forces them to reevaluate their friendship, their past and eventually leads them to heal and love.

I very much enjoyed this book. I thought the author did a fabulous job bringing the characters to life. The story was a classic one that was enjoyable as well.

I also felt myself relating to Angi. She is someone who has trouble saying no. As a recovering people pleaser, I gt her. I really related to her journey and was so thrilled that by the end of the book she had learned to set healthy boundaries. I really got her characters.

Overall a wonderful holiday read.
