I read Jami's story with a lump in my throat for these two people who had suffered such loss and yet still managed to survive their tragedies and keep going. Blake and Sarah both suffered immense family losses, at a time that should have been one of the most happiest and family filled times of the year - Christmas.It's a poignant story about two people brought together by a small kitten. When Blake finds the animal injured and distressed in the snow, he takes it to the nearest vet to have it tended to. He meets Sarah, a young woman with her own reasons not to enjoy the Christmas season. The pair can sense the pain in each other even then. Finally, when Sarah ends up at Blake's home during a storm, enjoying his celebrated hot buttered rum, the scene is set for their awakening awareness of each other's tragedies. It's time for them both to let out their suppressed emotions and they find out that they can help each other make it more bearable.Of course this is a love story so it wouldn't be complete without mentioning their growing physical attraction to each other and the emotional attachment which forms between them. Both of them believe in love at first sight and this wonderful and emotional relationship develops quickly, with a feeling within each of them that they have finally found their soul mate. I love happy endings.The story takes place in the wonderful and magical setting of the San Juans, somewhere I haven't been but based on Jami's evocative and atmospheric descriptions, I'd certainly like to go there!I thoroughly enjoyed reading Jami's story and would not hesitate to read more of her work if given the chance.
