Happy release day to Barbara DeLeo! Last Chance Proposal is the perfect book for this holiday season and takes place in the beautiful New Zealand. It made me want to hop on a plane and experience a Christmas in the summer time.I just loved how family oriented this story was and how touched I was by the father, Cy’s, love for his son, Jonty. The way Cy was described as looking at his son and caring for him touched my heart and plastered a smile on my face.I won’t lie though, when the story first started, I was a little put off by the strange request Cy had for his childhood friend, Ellie, but as I read on, I began to appreciate the desperate measures he would take for Jonty. I had admiration for Ellie and her willingness to put her life on hold for the man who broke her heart so many years beforehand.There were moments I felt I was frustrated over Cy’s actions just as much as Ellie was. Sometimes I wanted nothing more than to reach into the pages and shake him! Luckily, he finally came to his senses. :)The best way I can describe Cy and Ellie’s relationship would be a game of tug of war. While they were both hesitant and cautious, they couldn’t resist the temptation and began to let their guard down. I surely tested my patience, but in the end, it was so worth it. Such a happy ending for all involved. Truly a Christmas to remember for Ellie, Cy, and Jonty.
