As a new blogger imagine my excitement when my first review request from an author comes through my email. It also just so happens that the description of the book includes my two favorite things, Romance and Christmas. Oh did I mention it features a military couple, which is obviously close to my heart because I am an Army spouse. I'll admit I was nervous because what if this book is bad and I can't give a new author love? I love giving love....Now imagine me as I do a happy dance because the book turns out to be anything but a disappointment!! Yay!!I love a well-written sweet romance and this is definitely that.Sam & Jenny meet under strange circumstances but are instantly drawn to one another. They end up having to spend the weekend together but quickly decide to make the best of it. They both realize pretty quickly that the weekend just might not be enough but neither of them is willing to give up their lives in very different cities. Sam can tell that Jenny isn't completely happy in Gardiner but she lets him know pretty adamantly that she isn't meant for big city living and doesn't want to leave her family behind. Sam sees this as a declaration that they simply aren't meant to be. After a heated argument they part ways. Will the love they've discovered with each other be enough to sacrifice their old lives or are they destined to  give up on the most real thing they've ever had?I'm looking forward to the next books in this series. I'd love to read more about Lars, Erik and Nils (& Maggie) and maybe even an HEA for Paul? *hint*If you love sweet romances set in small towns (ie Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis, Fools  Gold series by Susan Mallory, Lakeshore Chronicles by Susan Wiggs) then this is the book for you.PS. I LOVE the cover!*I received and ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review
