I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review5 sweet starsThis short story is so sweet. I loved the main characters Stephen and Ali. Stephen meets Ali at a bar where she works, he is thinking about breaking up with his current girlfriend when Ali pretty much saves him from falling off a chair and making a fool of himself. He feels instantly attracted. He goes back to the bar to see her again and she looks sad, he hears from some of Ali's coworkers that her husband is dying. They talk for a bit and she gives him a paper inviting him to donate blood at a hospital where she volunteers. After he donates blood he passes out and she feels guilty and invites him to go eat a snack. They talk for a bit and he learns that Harry (the dying husband) really wants to spend Christmas at home. Stephen ends up doing something wonderful and super nice for Harry and Ali, he decorates the outside of their home and he even has a tree. Ali invites him in and he ends up talking to Harry and feeling really uncomfortable but in the conversation something very important that I'm not going to reveal comes to light. You'll have to read this story to know what happens. It is a HEA ending, it has some romance and it is also a bit sad. It has everything you can ask for in a holiday story.
