As my first ever Lori Wilde book, I had no idea what to
expect going in. I was hoping for some charm, some cute
and romantic moments and something that would get me into
the holiday spirit. What I got instead was all this and
so much more!
CHRISTMAS AT TWILIGHT is the fifth book in the
Twilight,
Texas series. Delta Force Operate "Hutch" Hutchinson
has
experienced a whole lot of loss on his latest assignment.
After losing his entire team, a finger, and his voice,
Hutch is honourably discharged. Suffering from PTSD and
unable to talk, he returns to his home in Twilight to
find that someone other than his sister and his niece are
living there.
Meredith is on the run, hiding from the dark secrets of
her past. She takes on the alias of Jane to stay under
the radar while she tries to keep afloat through the
holidays with her son. In this sweet but also heartfelt
story of healing, Lori Wilde really impressed me with the
balance of emotional and serious problems and the lighter
side that readers often expect in a small-town
Contemporary Romance.
I was blown away by the level of detail and exploration
of the personality disorders and PTSD in this novel. It's
difficult to get it right, but Wilde manages it
flawlessly. Previous characters in the series make
several appearances throughout the novel, making me want
to go back and read them all now!
I found the tight knit group that Wilde has created in
this series to be very fascinating. Readers will no doubt
connect with the characters and come to adore them as you
get to know them more and more.
CHRISTMAS AT TWILIGHT captures the holiday vibe while
also tugging on the reader's heartstrings with its
emotionally uplifting message.
It's Christmas in Twilight, Texas. The Cookie Club is
baking, the town is decorated, and Delta Force Operator
"Hutch" Hutchinson has finally, reluctantly, returned home
. . .
. . . only to get pepper sprayed by the delicious- looking
stranger who's taken over his house. She says her name is
Jane, and she immediately sets down ground rules. Top
priority: no touching. For Hutch that isn't easy—he was
wounded in action, but one part is still working very
well.
Then Hutch learns the truth. Jane harbors a frightening
secret—she's really Meredith Sommers, on the run from a
dangerous ex-husband and desperately in need of the safety
Hutch can provide. In that moment, he vows he'd do
anything
in his power to protect her. And as Christmas approaches,
they discover that their love can conquer the past and
overcome any obstacle—but what price will they pay?
