This was my first Susan Sleeman book but I can tell you it won’t be my last. The story held my attention from beginning to end. The characters were well developed and I fell in love with the McKade family. The interaction between them is great. It makes me want to go back and read the others in the series. Although this is a Christmas theme it’s really a story you can enjoy anytime. I loved the chemistry between Nicole and Matt. You really felt the romantic pull that makes a good story even better. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense.
