Baby, It's Cold Outside

I truly enjoy the writing of [a:Susan May Warren 54106 Susan May Warren https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1281368692p2/54106.jpg]. As a matter of fact, I started my Christmas reading off last year with her contemporary shorter novel [b:The Great Christmas Bowl 6433995 The Great Christmas Bowl Susan May Warren https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1263939552l/6433995.SX50.jpg 6623497] and enjoyed it immensely, so I was looking forward to her writing being the fall introduction to the Christmas season again for me this year with a war time historical. When I Fall In Love is an awesome series from Summerside Press and just like their Love Finds You series, I have enjoyed every single book I've read so far on various levels.

I have to admit that it was hard for me to get into until about halfway through because of the various lives coming together with all of their sadness, depression and regrets. But once things started to work in the way that they were meant to I was very eager to continue to turn the page and find out what would happen next. This is an absolutely gorgeous cover for a very meaningful read full of hope and second chances. Thanks to Litfuse Publicity for providing a copy for review.

“He kissed her, and in his touch, she tasted their tomorrows as snow began to drift like fairy dust from the sky.”

It's almost Christmas and a blizzard has descended on the small town of Frost, Minnesota. The beautiful home of Dottie Morgan has been invaded by her neighbor, fellow librarian, a soldier, and a young child. She does not want them there, her heart long frozen after the death of her son in the war. Providence has other plans, as they are trapped together until the storm passes. Will the storm be the beginning of the ice melting from her heart? Can she learn to forgive and let love flow once again? What of the others trapped there with her...what plans does fate have for them?

Oh my heart....what a truly wonderful and heartfelt story. It has all the feels and tissues are definitely needed for this one. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays as, for me, it is all about magic, family and love. Reading this book you will be showered with all of that and more...
