My Review:Rating: AThis is a really powerful story for a novella. There is no doubt in this book that Austin and Carrie love each other, but Carrie also has big dreams for her career and she doesn't want to sacrifice that for her love for Austin. She watched her mom become embittered and angry because she gave up her career for her family. She loves Austin enough that she doesn't want that for either of them. The problem...she does still love him and denying him is killing her.See, it's powerful. So much emotion in this book. Both for Carrie and Austin who are dealing with huge amounts of heartache. It all takes place on a Christmas tree lot which adds a certain air of Christmas magic to the book which I loved. I really liked the way that this novella was laid out. Both of these people have scars because of what happened with their mothers and that definitely affects their response to each other. It's a beautiful love story.
