I read this second edition of A Heart for Christmas, book 1 of the Love at Christmastime series, and I was pulled in from the very first sentence. Lisa Watson has a way of creating a very real family dynamic, filling it with love, and then giving it a tough situation to deal with to test that love.In this story widow Yvette Morgan Stillwell is on travel in London for her job as trainer and as she waits at the gate for her delayed return flight to Raleigh, NC, she is approached by an attractive man, whom she later finds is Christopher Darcy, someone she met originally while in college. They get reacquainted during the long flight and the layover time and enjoy each other's company so much, they decide to stay in touch once they return home to Raleigh. It's the Christmas season, so Yvette and her eight-year-old daughter go to look for a tree, and who do they stumble upon selling trees at the stand but Christopher. He invites them to Winter Wishes, his family's Christmas tree farm where they meet his family and Chris and his family meet Yvette's aunt who lives nearby. While Chris admits to having had a deep attraction for Yvette since college, and her daughter, Lacey is on board with their relationship, Yvette isn't too sure she's ready when he proposes; she feels it's too soon. Will Yvette decide that she's fine with her life the way it is? Will Chris get tired of waiting and move on? Get this warm and engaging Christmas love story and find out.
