The Christmas Eve Dance six years ago was the scene of angry words and heartbreak. This Christmas, itβs time for forgiveness and second chances.
Hunter Cavendish fled his hometown six years ago and has avoided returning ever since. Now an up-and-coming designer, he succumbs to family pressure and agrees to come home for Christmas. But the fates must be conspiring against him, because the very first person he runs into is Aaron McBrideβthe man heβs never been able to resist. The man who broke his heart.
Aaron McBride loves his small town, loves the gift store he owns, and absolutely adores Christmasβitβs his favorite time of the year. That is, until this year. This year heβs forced to work alongside the infuriating and entitled Hunter Cavendish on the Christmas Eve Dance decorating committee. Thereβs no way heβs going to fall under the spell of his charms againβabsolutely not.
But the Christmas spirit weaves its magic, bringing the two of them together and providing the perfect opportunity for apologies, fresh starts, and falling in love again. So long as they can put the past behind themβ¦
A Christmas Reunion is a cute, feel-good holiday romance featuring enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, second chances, lots of Christmas sweetness, and a well-deserved happy ending.
I always know Iβm going to get a read that perfectly hits my reading spot when I pick up a book by this author, and this story was no exception. A Christmas Reunion was a feel good sweet second chance romance with wonderful characters.
Hunter and Aaron are both sweet guys. Itβs obvious from the start that, although they each feel rejected by the other, theyβre both still smitten. I loved the scenes of them reconnecting, especially as their expectations donβt pan out, but blossom into something much better. I liked how the author built their characters, and showed who they were through their interactions with the townspeople, and their friends and family. As a side note, Aaronβs shop sounds amazing and a place Iβve love to spend time in. I loved the way both he and Hunter followed their dreams.
The gorgeous descriptions bring the town of Cavendish Crossing to life. I love stories set in small towns. This one has a wonderfully rich history tied to Hunterβs family, and feels like a character in its own right. I love the supporting cast, especially Hunterβs sister Brooke, and Aaronβs friend Garrett. I liked how Brooke encouraged Hunter to follow his heart, and not give into the expectations of their parents. I liked the way the issues he had with his mother resolved, and I hope that Richard gets what is coming to him. The sweet romantic peek into their life a year on was a perfect conclusion to the story.
5 out of 5 stars.
