A Sick Thief: A Christmas Story
What does a man do when he finds an attractive young thief, trying to escape out of his window with bag full of his things? He spanks her wiggling rear end and pulls her inside for more punishment. Rose Cooper gets caught breaking into a house and stealing during the worst snowstorm that Minnesota has seen in years. The reason she gets caught is that she's sick. She sneezes and coughs so much that she wakes the owner of the house. David Armstrong is surprised to find an attractive young thief trying to climb out of his dining room window. He yanks her back inside by the seat of her jeans while her accomplices take off. When he calls the police, he’s informed that they can’t come and collect her because of the storm. He has the option to either let her go, or to keep his uninvited guest safely inside until the police can come and fetch her. Because she doesn't look like a dangerous criminal, he sits her down and scolds her, giving her a long speech about respecting what other people have worked hard to obtain while he debates with himself what he should do with her. Rose cries because she’s afraid of the police. She doesn't want to go to jail or worse yet back to her mother and stepfather. He was the reason that she ran away in the first place. David suddenly notices that Rose isn't feeling well. He lays his hand on her forehead and notices that she has a raging fever. He swoops her into his arms and brings her into his bathroom while cursing himself for being so gullible. Caring for a sick patient wasn’t what he planned to do while on Christmas vacation from his internship from the hospital. He had wanted to fly home to his family, but he was stuck here because of the snowstorm. Finally, on Christmas Eve, Rose starts to feel better. David feels that now is a good time for them to talk about her bad behavior as well as take the necessary measures to correct her behavior and convince her to change her ways. This book contains elements of domestic discipline as well as very hot romantic scenes. If such scenes offend you, please don’t buy the book.

Dr. David to the rescue
My heart absolutely breaks for Rose!!!! Happy that David saves her but want to slap him when he says nothing to stop the police from taking her. Was even more upset when no one stops what her stepfather does. Would’ve liked to see David serve some justice to that awful human being. So glad to see that Rose thrives and lives a full and wonderful life after David comes to his senses.
New reader to this author but looking for more.

I really enjoyed this book. At first i was angry at the Dr for not even trying to understand the reality for this girl.but she was so forgiving.this story flows nicely.It is well written . It is interesting and you end up loving both of them. I a also ended up h hating her mother.

Love Her Writing, But Hate All Her Errors
I am giving Ms Burns 4 of 5 stars, because every one of her books contain multiple spelling and punctuation errors, and this one contains possibly the most. Her writings enthrall me, make me laugh and cry, and I thoroughly enjoy them, but I find the numerous errors very distracting. That is why I am only giving her 4 stars.

Good read
As always Ms Burns did a good job. I really liked the ending, it was not rushed as some of Ms. Burns books tend to be.

Loved it...
What a journey our heroine had to go on...all it needed was Dr. David to finally listen to her. A wonderful but heart wrenching story. A must read.

I'm giving it 2 stars, because at the core there's a good story of caring & love....and spanking and sex.
And if your thing is the caring man with the southern accent who happens to be a stern doctor who doesn't hold back on the spanking and the love, then this is anywhere from 3 to 5 stars.
But if questionable details that stick out annoys you to no ends, then it's a star or two less. And that's me.
So here's the things that annoyed me to varying degrees:

This book does an excellent job showing the reader why underaged females might silently endure abuse by a "caregiver."
Younger me, agreeing with the book:
In our experience, attempts to report maltreatment by a caregiver are met with denial by anyone who could help. Our would-be rescuers idiotically involve the sadist in an attempt to, "clear things up." The obvious result is in an escalation of the violence we face behind closed doors. And that's where we live. That's home.
We need adults to grow up and take us seriously so we can speak up. #TimesUp

Nifty
You write about old values and respect we don't see a lot of anymore. I laughed and cried. Aside from some grammatical errors, it was a heartlifting read.
