Savannah and Rafe are back! There is no murder mystery this time, but readers of this series do have a lovely short story to tie them over until the sixth book in this series, Kickout Clause, is released.It's the holiday season and Savannah and Rafe are back together celebrating the holidays - that is if they can survive a Christmas Day with Savannah's family. With Savannah's mother determined to not approve of Rafe, Christmas is going to be one long day. Decadent desserts, ugly Christmas sweaters and more engagement rings that Savannah can handle are sure to round out this day.I love the festive mood surrounding Contingent on Approval, especially with a Christmas lunch to end all Christmas lunches with the Martins. While there was no "murder", there was a mystery surrounding an "engagement ring", which I caught onto early. This still didn't stop me from enjoying many toe-curling moments between Savannah and Rafe.The Savannah Martin Mysteries still remain one of my favorite mystery series. They are well written, with clever plots, and if this short story is anything to go by then the next book in the series is bound to excite. This story left enough hints about relationships between not just Savannah and Rafe, but for Savannah's brother, Dix, that I'm super excited for the next mystery in this series.
