"True love is something you can hold in your heart for eternity."--Aunt EvePenelope has a secret-she has visions of the future! On the day she finally meets Jared, the man she knows she's destined to marry, the unthinkable happens-she gets a vision of his death in less than a month! Now, she's trying to change fate by doing what she can to protect her heart from loving and losing him. She's determined to avoid Jared and avoid heartbreak. Jared, on the other hand, is determined to win her heart..."I know how to make a case. And this is one I intend to win."--JaredThis was a quick and enjoyable read and really got me into the Christmas spirit, even though it's the month for Halloween! I felt so bad for Penelope and the burden she carries. In most cases, her visions are a blessing so it was fun watching her get so excited for the day she would meet her future husband. When she saw his death, it was a huge bummer, and I was really rooting for Jared to convince her that  their love was worth any heartbreak.The book was so sweet as Penelope comes up with reasons that they won't suit, and Jared being extremely creative in finding ways to overcome any obstacles he sees in claiming her as his. He's focused, determined, clever, and oh so sweet that I loved reading his courtship as he gently broke down Penelope's walls.There is one very short love-making scene so I would label this as a low to medium heat level. Since this is the third in a trilogy about three sisters, there are allusions to the previous two books (which I haven't read) without spoiling what happens too much. Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend this to anyone who loves sweet romance with a Christmas spirit and a touch of the paranormal. This is a 5 out of 5 for me.(Originally posted on my blog; I received a review copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.)
