I love the writing of Julie Lessman and from reading all the stories about Marcy and Patrick's children in the series Daughters of Boston followed by Winds of Change coming back to a prequel was an exciting bit for me. It's the kind of story where you know how it ends, but you just have to know how in the world that can happen because it seems nearly impossible. Through the stories of all the children's romantic lives you get bits and pieces of an amazing romance between Patrick and Marcy and being able to see how it developed in the first place is enchanting and set at Christmastime too! While I came into this thinking it to be a novella, it is a bit longer read than other novellas, but still it's short for Julie. But then as a lover of Julie's fiction, there can never be a story long enough. I cannot believe this series has come to an end!

Readers who have read any of Julie's books can come to this one and will love it. New readers, who have not yet read any of the story of the lives of the O'Connor family and their triune romances can come to this one and will love it I'm sure and it will spark a desire to see what happens in all their individual and family lives.

Take two rogues that seem almost too far gone to be forgiven, a girl nearly woman who is devote in her faith and praying to find the love of her life in a Godly-mate. Bring in her best friend and give her romance too in perfectly appropriate friendships as well. Add lots of redemption and a new heart for Christ. Tie it all together with a Christmas pageant including some characters with rough family lives and handicaps and you have a delightful read.

*Thanks to Julie and Nancy Berland PR for providing an eBook for review.*
