Captive at ChristmasHannah Magnus decides to take a little Christmas vacation after a bad break up. She goes from her Vancouver home to a secluded cabin in Washington State to nurse her broken heart.Mackenzie Dunlop is an ex assassin per hire, he travels to the cabin to stay for two weeks until the repairs on his home are completed.  Once he gets there he realizes he’s not alone, and Mac is a man who enjoys his solitude and doesn’t trust easily, if at all.Hannah and Mac’s relationship starts a bit rocky but due to a extenuating circumstance they come together finding comfort and solace in each other.Most of the story happens between Hanna and Mac, you don’t see any secondary characters almost until the end, and truthfully you don’t feel the need for them. The author successfully develops the characters in a way that you feel like you’re living in that cabin with them, and if it’s true that the characters fall in love very quickly, their relationship doesn’t feel forced at any time.Ultimately, I feel like this story is one of redemption for both characters, but mostly for Mac. Who is taught by Hannah to trust freely and love without reserve. I truly enjoyed this book and I would highly recommended.I received an ARC of this book by the author for an honest review.
