Kissed by the Bay Book 5
Harper Avery is a jaded divorce attorney who loves helping her clients move on to better things. After all, they’ve struggled enough being in an unhappy marriage. When one client’s soon-to-be ex-husband suddenly says he wants a second chance with his wife, Harper’s dubious, certain that her client is just going to get hurt again.
Despite his career as a divorce attorney, Gabriel Hart still believes that love can work miracles. Sure, there are no guarantees, but he totally supports his client’s efforts to reconcile with his wife—even if it means Gabriel has to go head-to-head with Harper to keep her from ruining the couple’s chances.
With the holidays approaching, husband and wife set out to see if they can work through their issues, while Harper decides to spend the long Christmas weekend at her friend’s cabin in Lake Tahoe. Only when she gets there, someone is already occupying her last-minute rental—Gabriel Hart. Both refuse to give up their holiday retreat. Will their adversarial working relationship make for a stressful weekend? Or will the magic of Christmas sprinkle them with a love that can beat the odds?
My Review:
The only thing I’d change about this book if I could, would be to make it longer. Everything about this story feeds my soul. Sharing their sweet Christmas traditions – the Chinese food made me remember my family’s own traditional Christmas Eve meal. Reaching out to family and friends both near and far. That magical sense of hope that says “everything is possible so long as you believe”. I especially appreciate that Harper and Gabriel’s story shows that relationships take work; two people willing to do what it takes to share their lives. I read a borrowed copy of this book.
