... I know I keep saying it but I love these Christmas/Advent/Holiday novellas. They brighten my day and people have been asking why the big smile on my face. I then tell them about the little โtreatโ I just opened and read. Nic Starr has also added a wide smile on my face. Her delightful Christmas novella was just what I needed. (4.5 stars)
