Having read and enjoyed the 'Pearl' series by Ms. White, I was anxious to pick this one up and extend my Christmas season. 'Unwrapped' is the story of Mia and Derrick, two friends who decide to take their friendship to the next level. As often happens, misunderstandings occur along the way and they part - with Derrick going as far as Tokyo to recover. When he returns, he receives a Christmas present he had only dreamed of!Ms. White has done it again. I was thoroughly entranced and spent probably a bit too much time reading when I should have been getting ready to go on holiday. Ms. White builds the romance on the firm foundation of friendship so skillfully that I couldn't put the book down. She shows us Derrick's emotions so completely that we can feel his elation and pain. Mia's confusion and anxiety comes through in the beginning as does her budding confidence as the story progresses.Ms. White has certainly proven that love can take us anywhere with her books - from the quiet and solemn library to the uncertainty of war to the inner workings of a marriage on the rocks and now to the beaches and sunshine of California. I can't wait to see where she takes us next!
