A Crystal Cove Holiday #10
Having Grace
There is plenty to be thankful for in Crystal Cove
Duke Wade is not known for being a gracious. No, he’s known for being flirty and flashy. He, is however, thankful for the vision his new project sets in his path. Grace Lang might be the most beautiful woman he’s ever met; she’s also sweet, kind and way out of his league. They may be adversaries, but Duke wants to show her he can be a better man, and prove how thankful he would be to be a part of her new start.
Grace loves the holidays—or at least she did once. Another fall reminds her how many holiday's she's spent alone. Adding to her misery, a new salon is giving hers a run for its money. Her new rival—brash, cocky Duke—is hotter than her mama’s turkey gravy. Too bad he knows nothing about how to be gracious.

I love a trip to Crystal Cove so much and I can tell you now that I will be heart broken once it is all done, but knowing I can go back there at anytime makes me feel a little better.
Duke is a bad boy that we all love to hate and getting to finally see him has allowed us to see his heart of gold. Duke has always been a runner but to see that he has decided to finally settle down and pursue his dream was a nice change from what I was expecting.
Grace is amazing, I want to be more like her when I grow up. She is so strong and smart and just such a nice woman!!! She doesn't believe the stories and gives Duke a chance to show himself for who he really is! Seeing her story unfold and all that she has accomplished really warmed my heart.
Even though all these books are holiday themed, they are enjoyable the whole year round.
This is my honest and unbiased review.

This story is bitter sweet being the last of the Crystal Cove stand-alone series. Duke and Grace are so damn adorable together and as individuals they’re strong in following their hearts and standing up for themselves. We learn about Grace’s past later on in the story and I love her even more for seeing what she has accomplished since. Duke is a runner but when he finally decides to plant roots with his family in town we see a man that will not give up on his dream. This town is welcoming and so lovable with each and everyone that resides there, what I wouldn’t give to take a trip and visit myself. This is a holiday themed story but I feel you’ll enjoy it anytime of the year. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

I'm in love with this world Dee has created and with each story I wish for this place to be real. The characters are so sweet but not without fault. They work through it and have each other no matter what. I'm so in love with Duke. The bad boy with a heart of gold. Grace is so sweet and gives him every reason to be his best self. She doesn't listen to rumors about him or his past she let's his actions speak for themselves. I loved this story. I'm going to cry when it's over but I have a plan to start from the beginning as soon as it's over. Absolutely amazingly read. #mustreadauthor

Beautiful Series ending and Beautiful Book
This was a beautiful book to an amazing series. It wasn't just about redemption for Duke. It was about new beginnings and changing everyone's perspective. Grace was running and in comes Duke, crashing into her life and knocking down her cqrefully guarded walls that she worked so hard to build to protect herself. He ran away without listening and he had to gravel . Who doesn't love some groveling from the MMC?!?! I cod have used just a little more though. But when they come together, everything is right in their world. Grace is quite literally Dukes saving grace and Duke is Graces savior and protector. Someone she never had before. They are a power couple, dynamic duo, sweet! Like I said a beautiful ending to a series 😍😍

Okay so this book wasn't terrible it was actually kind of good. I did like the characters and the plot was decent. I would try more by her.

Coming home to find where you belong
OMG! I'm so happy Grace got her HEA. I'd hoped when I 'met' her in other stories, that she would. Boy was I surprised when it was Duke that was to be her love interest but am so glad he was. And the twist in Grace's past that finds her in the present. Gah! I gasped at that revelation. Am sad to see Crystal Cove stories end, kind of hoped Luke the last Wade brother would get his story, but will remember this place fondly for a long time.

Another sweet steamy small town romance read from Dee Ellis and I enjoyed it a lot.
A runaway woman and a man who wants to prove that he's changed now. Oh Yes this one has interesting story and a bit more complicated than the previous books, there are moments that I can't put it down, but also there are repetitions that really bothering me, but the sweetness and steaminess made up for it. So overall I enjoyed it, especially the closeness between everyone in Crystal Cove, it really warms my heart.
If you like a fast-paced sweet steamy small town romance read, you might like this book.
