I liked this short book for the author's use of Scandinavian Christmas time traditions and the description of the food and costumes of the St.Lucia celebration. I also liked the male hero, Dane, for his patience and humor. I didn't really connect with the female heroine, Sera, very well. She seemed to have good reasons for doing what she was doing, as far as her choices about her education, marriage, career, etc... ,but she never made her family listen to her reasoning or tried to show them what she was doing. Her business idea was very creative and successful, but she just let her family go on thinking she was a slacker. I also didn't catch when Sera and Dane fell for each other, one page she's calling him an a*****le, and then they're kissing.Overall, though, it was a solid short book that stands alone, but also serves as the introduction to the author's new series about this family. It was well written and well edited. There are some sexual scenes and profanity, but nothing terribly graphic.I would give 3 1/2 stars.Heat factor moderate.
