4.5 StarsThe matchmaking Grandpa’s are at it again in Whispering Cove and have decided the holiday season is perfect for their next victims. In Cathryn Fox’s Silk Jon Carver returns to his hometown where he feels he won’t be welcome, but his great-uncle Errol’s claims he needs him and he won’t neglect a family member again. When he arrives though he finds Errol doesn’t seem quite as fragile as he claimed to be and on top of that he tell him his house is being treated for termites so he’ll have to stay in what use to be his childhood home, the home he still owns, the home that is now a Bed & Breakfast.Lila Sheppard is surprised when a handsome stranger comes in wanting a room this close to Christmas but she can’t help thinking Santa dropped off her present a little early, perhaps a holiday fling is just what she needs but she soon finds out there’s more to Jon than meets the eye and she wants to uncover all of the mysteries of this man.As this is a novella, the relationship moves quickly yet these two just seemed like two pieces of a puzzle fitting together perfectly. Jon is carrying so much self hate and doubt but Lila seems determined to uncover all of his secrets and be there to support him when he needs it. Watching Jon hold himself apart from his friends but obviously wanting to be accepted made me sad. I love how understanding Lila is and how she never gives up even when Jon tries pushing her away.Perfect for curling up in front of the fire with a cup of hot chocolate (with Whipped Cream vodka), Silk is a fine addition to the ever growing Whispering Cove series.Review copy provided for an honest review.
