The set upRhett Blaylock is on a mission to get Abbie Maven to give their relationship a chance. She doesn't trust her judgment when it comes to men because the last time she did, the results were disastrous. Rhett's waited patiently the last six months, playing by her rules. Now he's pulling out all of the stops during the Christmas season to get her to admit she loves him and he's a man she can trust her heart and her teenage son to for life.The issuesWhile Abbie has given Rhett the impression that his flamboyant professional style is one of the barriers to their being together, it's clear that there's more behind her reluctance than his poker persona. Her son, Dustin, and her brother, Mac, are all supportive of the relationship and her friends are all rooting for the couple. Abbie's almost paralyzed by her fear despite her deep feelings for Rhett.What I liked about the storyRhett's a larger than life character, almost too much but you really cannot help falling for the guy. He declared his love for Abbie in the last book and never waivers, publicly or privately. He adores her son who reciprocates those feelings. Rhett's sense of humor kept me smiling and his romancing efforts were touching, even when he went overboard. The Christmas theme made everything even more magical. Abbie was a bit uptight but given her history, it was understandable.The bottom lineYou've gotta love a character called Rhett Butler Blaylock who is every bit as dashing as his namesake.  This story is all romance, steam and humor with a touch of the holiday spirit added just to make it even sweeter. It's a nice installment in the series and the perfect ending for Abbie and Rhett.(I received an ARC from the author)
