A Christmas novella from the Believe Series was the perfect Christmas gift for me. As a huge fan of the series I couldn't wait to get my hands on this baby and now that I have, I couldn't have asked for anything more.L. Chapman has created a Christmas story involving all my favourite characters from the series and sprinkled in a touch of magic to fill her readers with holiday joy. The detail of Christmas traditions and the emphasis on the importance of spending that time with family and friends really made this story great.You can see the growth in the characters as the series progresses and this was evident in Mark and Megan's relationship. I loved these two before but we experienced a whole new side of them that was playful and open and wow, did they steam it up in the bedroom department..... well, you can add shower department and strip tease department too.Being Lucy's first Christmas they wanted to make it special and it was especially when she achieved a major milestone, but I really think that Kate stole the show. Her wonderment, exuberance, selflessness and joy over every detail constantly bought a smile to my face and I loved that we got to see more of Conner and Kate spending time together.Jenny and Warren are just as amazing as in 'Veiled' and Jenny has moved further into her pregnancy. Warren had me swooning with the way he acted with the kids and his desire to learn how to care for a baby so that he is ready when Jenny gives birth.The special surprises that they all constantly gave each other demonstrated how much they each meant and how important their relationships are to them.There was still bits of drama along the way and we are left with questions about the future but really this was just the perfect holiday read. The story flowed easily and just left you with a feeling of contentment. As with book 1 - Trust and book 2 - Veiled, I loved every second and can't wait to get my greedy hands on book 3.
