This is a companion holiday novella to “Ransom to Love” so you’ll meet some familiar characters but it can be read as a standalone.

If you have read Chloe‘s Ransom To Love you will definitely remember Marion and are probably as happy as I was to see her finding her own happy ending.
And who could be better for a happy ever after than a romance author. Gina didn’t have an easy time after losing her wife a few years ago. Having lost her wife but still writing romance stories definitely is a huge challenge. I definitely had wet eyes a few times and just wanted to hug her. But no worries the story is mostly sweet and not sad at all. It’s actually a story of hope and like I already said just sweet.
I also loved Chloe‘s humour and how she added the development of a romance story. I definitely had a wonderful time reading this story.

I don't do spoilers but I will say Chloe has a great sense of humor that permeates all her characters - people you would love to sit and chat with. This is a wonderful short story that leaves the heart feeling warm, great for the holidays or anytime.

Everything to Love in this Story
I'm new to this author but I'll be sure to read more! She writes well and the characters are well developed and awesome . There is just everything to love in this story. More mature main characters but no matter how "grown up" we all are we still have some insecurities to deal with. It's a nice quick read, I like that.

Your never too old for love
You know from the start that you are guaranteed a happy ending. A book for all ages , its not what you think from the title or is it.

A sweet, HOT age gap novella of two older woman falling in love. This is a companion to the book Ransom To Love. We met Marion in Ransom and in here she finds love. Gina is a sapphic author who discovers the coffee shop Marion's, and is enchanted by Marion. This takes place at Christmas time. We also revisit Teri! 5 stars!

Well. This book is the second in series (will there be more?) by Chloe Keto. It is a novella so is quite short.
This one features Marion, a 55 year old and Gina, a 45 year old. I liked the fact that the story centred on 'older' women as so much of sapphic literature tends not to - apart from age gap romance. The characters discuss whether 10 years is an age gap as one of them is of course a sapphic romance writer!
It addresses the issue of bereavement - as in romance books the only reason a person is single at that age is because the love of their life has died. But they discuss their past history and relationships, and normalise 'messy' lives and meeting someone and falling in love in your 50s.
It is also set in December so is a Christmas book too - yet I read it in March and it didn't feel odd.
I really enjoyed it.

March 28, 2024Loved it! It's nice to read about mature characters. Those of us over 50 (or well over 50) are still active, vibrant, engaging and romantic. Yes, a fairy godmother might be just what's called for!

Happy Christmas
These two 40+ characters are so adorable and funny. They make a beautiful couple, and the whole story is just brilliant.
