This was a very nice quick read. If any of you are in the mood for a holiday romance, than this could be the book for you. This book is about Kassia Green and Heath Dixon. Kassia is doing a (reluctant) favor for her cousin by house sitting in freezing cold and snowing Massachusetts. What she doesn't know is that her three cousins (known as the Wise Men) have given their good friend Heath an open door policy to crash at their place whenever he is in town. And he just so happened to take up that offer during the time of her house sitting. He actually comes in when she's out shopping, so neither of them knows the other is even in the house until he yells in exasperation about the cold, and he yells back for her waking up from his nap. However, there's more to it there (a little surprise I'll leave for you to read).What I like is the fact that there is no issue when it comes to interracial relationships in this book, or to the prospect of one from either protagonists or from their families. I also liked the fact that the male was from a war background, and that Kassia was able to assist him to the extent that she could with some of his issues. She didn't go overboard with it for she acknowledged she wasn't a psychiatrist, but she was able to be a sounding board for him. The love connection was pretty quick, but this was a great story nonetheless.What I'm curious about is the price. In the book Ms. Burke declares that she intentionally made this book for her readers free of charge, and the place where I downloaded it (Smashwords) it was free, but when I searched on Amazon it was for a price (99 cents). Weird.
