Wonderful Christmas read! Very short story that packs so much in to a quick read. Do yourself a favor and take the time to read this. It’s a tiny introduction into the sensual world of the Bayou Heat series, a series I thoroughly enjoy reading. If you like hunky, alpha shifters, you are going to absolutely flip for the puma shifters in any of the Bayou Heat series books, and this novella is no exception. Alexandra excels in creating strong male characters that capture your heart and the female protagonists with backbone. Love the swagger she puts in the males and the way she portrays females that know their own worth.Garrick is a diplomat that may travel the world in an expensive suite but his puma is always just under the surface. Work is all he knows as that was the way he was raised, with parents always gone on diplomatic missions for the Pantera. With his parents gone all the time, as he was growing up, it made for an unstable home life. Now as an adult Garrick’s not sure he would know how to create a family and home.Molly has worked for the past five years as Garrick’s mother’s caretaker. She has loved Garrick for most of those five years. Letters have kept them connected as more than simply employer and employee when he is gone, but when he’s home Garrick is like a different person, very formal and contained. Molly decides if she ever wants a family of her own it’s time to move on and forget Garrick. Garrick gets his wake-up call but it may be too late.I loved the little glimpses that Alexandra gives into Pantera Christmas traditions. When Molly talks about remembering putting the “angel goddess on top on the mantel” it made me smile. How wonderful would it be to see whole families travel in barges through the swamp to a special place where each family has their own Noel Tree, where they light a family candle? As I said before books so well written you must treat yourself to the enjoyment of reading them.Highly recommend to anyone over 18 due to language and wonderful, sensual, sexual content
