I loved ❤ this 6th book's storyline. This 6th book was kind of sad 😢. I loved ❤ the Christian theme in this story. I loved ❤ Chloe's character. I liked Evan's character. I loved ❤ Jimmy, I thought he was adorable. I loved ❤ the ending. Awesome job Ms. Winn.
This book really pulled at my heart strings! Was a very easy read and beautifully written. It was the perfect Christmas book with a lot of Christmas imagery to set the tone. Loved the meaning of family in this book. I'm sure you will too!
This book wasn't all bad. Just a little too much on the religious side for my liking but I also knew that going in. The plot line wasn't bad. Pretty much like your standard Harlequin romance.
