I'm usually not to keen on Christmas books, I don't know what it is. Don't get me wrong I love Christmas and the festivities that come along with it. But I usually just can't get into Christmas setting books, except for this one. This story had the perfect amount of holiday cheer in it.Jon doesn't look forward to this time of year and avoids his small hometown and much as possible. Especially around this time of the year. Then his Great Uncle Errol calls him and insists that he needs him to come home.  But when he gets home Errol has no time for him and is blowing him off.Lila is from the City and looking for something at a slower pace. When an opportunity presents itself in Whispering Cove, she has to take it. But when Jon shows up she sees he is definitely from a City, but his small town personality has her intrigued.  What brings this man to Whispering Cove and who is he?Lila can tell Jon is hiding something and even at the mention of Christmas, he cringes. She doesn't know what is so sad in his past but she wants to find out and help him live past that so he can enjoy time with friends and family like he should around this time of the year. And of course with old Great Uncle Errol meddling, he will make sure just that does happen.This was a good quick read. It didn't take me long at all to read this one. And yet, everything was well written. Cathryn Fox did a wonderful job at giving us all the details we would need to get to know each of the characters and feel their story. There was even a part with Errol talking with his old buddies. I was just cracking up, because I can totally see old men sitting around and talking like that! What a great Holiday story!Erica- The Book Nuts
