~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

THE RELUCTANT SANTA is a stand-alone contemporary Christmas romance that emphasizes the importance of family and empathy.

Colin and Brooke had chemistry from page one, but little Olivia stole my heart.  There is so much emotion throughout this story, because we all have a story.  Colin and Brooke are both reacting from places of fear and miscommunication.

I enjoyed this short, entertaining, holiday romance.  I’d love to see the good angel / bad demon subplot brought into a series.  I liked Damon and Gabriella, especially Gabriella’s fun outfits.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
