** 3.5 stars **The Christmas Wish is the story of Tess, a waitress briefly introduced in By Proxy. In that story, Tess seemed sleezy and way too forward. In The Christmas Wish, we learn that Tess is a sweetheart, a sad girl who's never known true love. This also features Lucas, recently released from prison for attacking the man who abused his sister. Lucas doesn't see Tess as the town's sure thing, he sees a kind young woman whom he could easily fall in love with. A wish on a star, a tentative romance, and a Christmas to remember will bring these two sad but lovable characters together.The Christmas Wish was such a neat story. I really liked that the two main characters were not exactly heroic, but became heroic to one another. Despite being an extremely quick read, it managed to touch my heart.Favorite Quote:"I'm not going anywhere unless you're going with me, because you're my destination. Wherever you are, I'm home."
