The holidays are not a time for joy for Sue Ann Simpkins.
Trying to come to grips with her financial situation, as
well as custody problems with her ex-husband, there is just
not a lot to celebrate this year, in Sue Ann's mind. It's
going to take a Christmas miracle to get her in the festive
spirit of the season, and to her surprise -- that miracle
just might come in the form of an old friend who is in the
need of a little Christmas cheer himself.
Adam Becker is the owner of the Christmas tree lot in town,
but he's more Scrooge than Santa's helper this year. He's
missing his twin boys, and is just feeling a bit bah-humbug
about the whole holiday season -- that is, until he
accidentally meets up with Sue Ann Simpkins. Suddenly,
everything seems a bit more merry and bright -- he just has
to convince Sue Ann that it is possible to find a bit of
Christmas love that will endure.
Toni Blake gives a nod to the classic Charles Dicken's
novel, "A Christmas Carol," with this charming story, and it
works so well here! The characters are a joy to get to know,
and all the residents of Destiny are back to lend their
voices to this contemporary romance that will leave you all
warm and fuzzy inside! I truly enjoyed HOLLY LANE!
The weather outside is frightful, but kisses by the fire
are so delightful …
Sue Ann Simpkins is working hard to rebuild her life and
find some holiday spirit. A weekend away from Destiny in a
cabin on nearby Bear Lake seems like the perfect Christmas
gift to herself -- until her ex's best friend. Adam Becker,
shows up at the door, claiming he cabin is his! And if
that's not trouble enough, how had she never noticed how
gorgeous he was?
Alone for the holidays and forced to play a reindeer at the
local department store, Adam's been feeling rather Scrooge-
ish himself. But finding the smart, sexy woman he's admired
since elementary school waiting int he house he rented is
helping to brighten his humbug mood. And when a sudden
snowstory strands them together ion very close quarters,
leading to one very hot night together, Adam soon realizes
that what he really wants for Christmas is a second chance
at love. Now all he has to do is convince Sue Ann. . .
