I simply loved this endearing novel!  I was overcome by the spirit of Christmas as each wonderful character warmed my heart.This novel has much more feeling than what I had originally expected. The banter between Amanda and Tate is amusing, with an underlying tone of passion.  It's a little painful at times how oblivious she is to his true nature, but even more painful to watch him as he tries to find the right words.  Her history with men, however, makes her inability to trust understandable.Her family has wonderful traditions that brought back such a deep sense of nostalgia for me, I cried.  I love the heartfelt manner in which the author describes the plight of many families during the holidays, and I love her grandmother!  She's a spunky old gal with innate wisdom that made me think of my own.  The laughter came as easily as the tears and the drama was light, and entertaining.From the mother who insists on the crazy sweaters to the father that decorates the property like the Holdman's, (check it out on YouTube), I loved every character and felt a connection that reminded me of home.  If you're looking for a sweet, romantic, holiday tale, this is your book!
