Second Chance Christmas by Ellen Butler is a fast-paced, well written novella that can be read in just a couple of hours.  It is the story of successful Washington DC attorney Emma Taylor and decorated Army Major Colton Evans.  They were engaged to each other a little over two years ago, but ended things when their respective careers took precedence over their future together.Colton returned from deployment an injured man and now he may have a concussion because he was hurt while witnessing a bar brawl.  Since he never changed his emergency contact information on his cell phone, the hospital called Emma in his time of need. Emma was attending a formal event at the time and shows up resplendent in a full length gown.Emma and Colton are lucky to have a second chance at love.  The spark is still there as they spend the week before Christmas talking, dating and loving. Secrets and misunderstandings are unveiled which results in a happily ever after for both of them.I enjoyed this quick, emotional read. All the characters are well defined and developed, which is nice since the confines of a novella are limited. The story is chock full of warmth, romance and forgiveness, along with a splash of spice.  A wonderful surprise on Christmas Eve completes this sweet story.
