There’s a new arrival in the UK offices
of Computers, Incorporated. His name is Jonathan, and he has the tongues of the
ladies wagging. But Jenny refuses to gossip about him with Susan. Instead, she
is determined to make the Texas transplant feel at home in a strange place by
extending the hand of friendship to him. It doesn’t hurt that he’s easy on the
eyes, and his voice does things to her…
Synopsis:
Jenny invites Jonathan to lunch, her
treat, and they bond over the Christmas special—thick, rich soup and turkey and
dressing sandwiches. She is attracted to him, especially after he tells her his
story of being an orphan. She was always prone to bringing him unwanted strays
as a child, a habit which has not diminished over the years. She impulsively
invites him to join her for Christmas, and to help her decorate her Christmas
tree. He gladly accepts. What does it mean, though, when he kisses her? Does he
find her simply convenient, or does he feel sorry for her because she’s plump
and probably lonely?
Is she reading more into this than she should?
Or will this become a Christmas she’ll never forget?
Commentary:
I really really enjoyed this short sweet
Christmas story. It’s hot and sweet and sentimental, and frankly it had me
wiping at my eyes. I love how it isn’t about two perfect people finding one another;
it’s about two real people finding love. Jenny is an amply proportioned woman
who feels inadequate, especially compared to Susan, whom she thinks is
perfectly lovely. But love is in the eye of the beholder, and Jonathan prefers
her curves and her warm and loving personality to anything Susan has to offer.
This is a great tale to curl up with on a
cold winter night, with your favorite beverage, dreams of Christmas bouncing
about your head. I’ve read it twice already. It’s a definite keeper, good for
any time of the year. As a bonus, Victoria has included her recipes at the end
of the book, although I warn American readers, you’ll need a translation.
Get a copy for yourself, and buy copies
for the people you love who love a good romance!
