Review: Not sure why this book is praised....
Rating: 2 out of 5

First off, this is a really short story.  Only 78 pages and that includes a free sneak chapter of another book.  I read this story in less than two hours.  I'd say at least ten percent of the story describes the family's Christmas tradition.  Booooring.  The characters are not well developed, the story illogically and suddenly concluded...... It was like even the author lost interest in her own plot and characters.  I don't understand why other reviewers said this story was sweet.  After years the "hero" reappears and tells the heroine she's going to marry him, and she complies. Why????? After he ignored her for years? After he was involved in drunken bouts and slept with who knows how many women? How is this romantic? He sounds arrogant and presumptuous to me.  This is the second book I've read by this author and I've been very disappointed by both.  I won't be reading anymore.  I won't waste my time or money.
