My Review:

I adore a second chance. Combine that with the magic of Christmas and I’m just filled with warm fuzzy feelings. I love Sophie. She’s working so hard to hold her family legacy together and almost no one seems to appreciate what she’s doing or what it’s costing her. Jake both broke my heart and frustrated me. His experience growing up was utterly tragic and it was easy to empathize with his lack of trust. However, his shabby treatment of Sophie made me repeatedly want to shake some sense into him. As the start of a new series, this book has all the secrets and betrayals necessary to hook this reader. I can’t wait to read the rest. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
