My Thoughts....
This was one of those Christmas stories that will leave you with a smile on your face in how the story turns out as it did for Monica Ferguson and Ciro Fields. What will happen as a 'family secret derails Monica's life in the middle of planning the biggest community fundraising banquet of the year?' What will happen when Ciro will be the "answer to prayers and also has a thing for letters be the medicine for Monica's broken heart?" I loved how this author really gives the reader a well written sweet Christmas read and you will find out all the answers to the above questions when you pick up "Letters From Santa."
Everyone can relate to this romantic novel. It promotes & encourages good relationships with family and friends which can help you to find true love and your true purpose in life. Great romantic novel that leaves you wanting more of the story. Great chemistry with Monica and Ciro!
