This was a really great holiday romance, like really great!  I'm not going to sum it up because the book description does a really good job with that.  I absolutely loved this couple (sucker for a man in uniform, even a former one), and the story flowed so well!  It was 90 something pages; however, it didn't feel like a short story.  It should have been a 5 star book, truly, but once again, Ms. Burke dropped the ball at the end.Please note that I am a big fan of this author - I have 12 of her books in my collection; however, she is quickly becoming the John Grisham of interracial romance novels for me:--(.  To explain, I am a HUGE fan of John Grisham and will read anything he writes; however, his endings are a bit of a letdown for me.  The same can be said of the recent stories that I have read by this author,  however, unlike the perdurable loyalty I have for Grisham (because I don't really expect to go away with a warm, fuzzy feeling after reading a legal thriller anyway), the same cannot be said in this case.  I am tired of having great romance stories ruined by a not so great ending.  Yes, it's important to give the couple their HEA, but it's just as important to tie up lose ends.  Please don't make something an important part of the story if you have no intentions of concluding it.  Seriously, just don't start it if you're not going to bring it to conclusion because it just irks me to no end to be left hanging.I  would definitely recommend this story because it is a great holiday romance.  However, since I think the ending is just as important as the beginning and because this  author has let me down a few too many times, my collection may stop at 12.
