Two Tickets to ParadiseBy Scarlett Jade***I received an ARC of this novel in return for an honest review.***Two Tickets to Paradise was not at all what I expected. I thought it would be about two people who fall in love in paradise. However, it is much more than that. It's a sweet love story, but it is a fairy tale too. I have always loved fairy tales.Here's a small synopsis. Eve has discovered that her fiancé has been cheating on her and gotten the other woman pregnant. She's not sure what to do because she had booked a romantic trip in Aruba for the Christmas holidays. However, she decides to do something completely unnatural and impulsive. She notices a drop dead sexy stranger in a coffee shop and decides to invite him to accompany her after talking with him for a bit. As she spends more time with him, she feels a connection with him and spends less time wallowing in her heartache. Can she trust her heart again after her fiancé crushed it?While the romance unfolds very quickly, it works for such a short story. It is also perfect for the holidays. I LOVE all the references to Christmas.  For example, Eve gets her name because she was born on Christmas Eve. Nick's last name is Christmas. He works with the less fortunate, and his parents live in Alaska. There is a twist that I wasn't quite expecting at first, but as I kept reading I could see where the storyline was heading, and I really liked it!There is nothing better than reading heartwarming, magical Christmas stories at this time of year. I enjoyed every page of Two Tickets to Paradise. It's short, so it is a great way to take a break from all the busyness of the holiday. It is the first book in a planned series, but there is no cliffhanger. The next book, The Paradise Bride, is coming sometime in 2014 and will continue with Eve's and Nick's love story.
