Spending Christmas with his best friend's family is not Jason Ferris's idea of a good time, especially when he finds out her brother Robb will be there. Jason and Robb have a heated past but haven't seen each other in years. Inflatable snow globes, a head injury, and a black out rekindle a flame, but is the simmering heat between them enough to last this time?LB Gregg gives enough background about Jason and Robb in Simple Gifts to make you fall for them and want their happily ever after as desperately as they do, while still keeping you guessing. They're complex, engaging characters. Robb's past is still a bit of mystery. While I didn't need anything more to make the story work, I liked him so much I wanted more. A pretty clear picture of who Jason is and what's going on in his life is painted. He was dealt a bad hand, but he turned his life around. Jason and Robb are both struggling with the pain of their pasts, but their future is bright. Simple Gifts is a poignant story laced with humor. There's angst, heartache, and some beautiful origami too.Nannette for Joyfully Reviewed
