Review: 3 STARS...WOULD HAVE WORKED BETTER AS A FULL LENGTH NOVEL
Rating: 3 out of 5

This was a sweet novella, but it would have worked much better as a novel.  There were a few things that needed some resolution.Kate finds her fiancé kissing her twin sister, Emma, at the bakery which the sisters co-own.  She decides to avoid family all together for Christmas and rents a cabin.  Henri, the cabin's owner, also shows up at the cabin and they spend a few days together.  Henri is a widow with two small girls who are spending the holiday with his former in-laws.Insta-love ensues.  Talks of fate and kismet.  A case of hypothermia.  It's not really believable, but it didn't bother me much in this case.************************MILD SPOILER**********************The fact that Kate was a virgin, came out of nowhere and was quite eye roll worthy.  She and her fiancé broke up only weeks before the wedding and she hadn't had sex with him, but gives it up to a guy she's known for a couple of days?  Come on!Of course, there is a HEA here (as there should be in sweet Christmas stories).  I wish there had been some resolution (or at least a small explanation) with Kate and Emma.  Did she forgive her sister?  Slap her upside the head (I hope it was this)?  The epilogue takes place one year later, at Kate's parent's house, but still no mention of Emma and the fiancé.  Maybe he died in an avalanche?
