"#1 NEW
YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR SUSAN WIGGS INVITES YOU TO AN UNFORGETTABLE
CHRISTMAS IN THE CATSKILLS
A single
father who yearns to be a family man, Logan O'Donnell is determined to create
the perfect Christmas for his son, Charlie. The entire O'Donnell clan arrives
to spend the holidays in Avalon, a postcard-pretty town on the shores of Willow
Lake, a place for the family to reconnect and rediscover the special gifts of
the season.
One of
the guests is a newcomer to Willow Lake— Darcy Fitzgerald. Sharp-witted,
independent and intent on guarding her heart, she's the last person Logan can
see himself falling for. And Darcy is convinced that a relationship is the last
thing she needs this Christmas.
Yet between the snowy silence of
the winter woods, and toasty moments by a crackling fire, their two lonely
hearts collide. The magic of the season brings them each a gift neither ever
expected—a love to last a lifetime."
Candlelight Christmas is the first
time I have read a Susan Wiggs' book.
It was an Amazon Vine choice this month and since I have been overdosing
on Christmas stories I decided to give this one a try. It did say that it was great for Wiggs
fans and for first time readers. There were a few times that couples were
mentioned and I did not know their back-story but none of that mattered. They were all background and not really
a part of the story.
I loved both Logan and Darcy. Both are divorced and when Logan’s
sister tries to get them together they just click. Seems like a quick romance but that is not what happens. They have to meet again and again for
anything to happen. Darcy is busy
protecting herself from being hurt again.
Logan is starting a new business.
It is fun to see how eventually they do get together but I loved how
nothing was rushed. I also liked that there were not pages and pages of sex.
There was an added feature in the
book. At the start of several of
the chapters there is a recipe. Since
this is my first Susan Wiggs book I don’t know if this is a regular feature or
not. I will say I would love to
try several as they sounded like great.
Candlelight Christmas is a nice addition
to the Christmas stories that come out this time of year and for me a good
introduction to Susan Wiggs’s writing.
Pick it up for an enjoyable read.
Harlequin published Candlelight Christmas by Susan Wiggs in 2013.
