Normally I'm a stickler for books being realistic. I normally don't like to read books that have any type of insta-love. This one is kind of the exception. Maybe it's the Christmas theme. Maybe it's the fact that this is one of my must read authors. Either way, I really liked this book. I'm pretty sure I've read all of her books that she's put out. I liked her writing style. I like the flow. I totally expected to not like this book and yet I've read it twice now. (I'm one of those people who will read a book again when nothing new appeals)Hannah's had a tough life. She's made it her life's work to make sure other kids didn't go thru what she had. She even counsels expectant and new moms. She finds a baby outside a church she was holding a group meeting at. It belongs to one of the mothers she counseled. The note that was with the baby said to find the baby's uncle Christopher James and that he'd raise her. Sounds simple right?Jackson Pierce was a self made man. He's worked hard to become the CEO that he is today. He's worked hard to put his past as Christopher James behind him, and that includes forgetting about his sister Louise. When a strange woman shows up on his doorstep during a blizzard mentioning his sister he loses it and slams it in her face. Feeling guilty for his actions he invites her in out of the cold to stay in his guest room a night until the storm breaks.Hannah knows this is her only shot at keeping Emily out of the system. She's going to make the 24 hours count. She just wasn't expecting it to be so hard. The book follows along to see just how far she's willing to go for Emily, and what will happen when Hannah and Christopher/Jackson get to know eachother.
