MISTLESTOE AND BAUBLES A beautiful little romance. It doesn’t start there though. Charlene is burdened by guilt after her husband, Tim, dies in a horrific accident but saving her life. Here she is a 25 year-old amputee living with a body she can no longer control or recognize as her own. Scarred physically and emotionally, we follow her daily routines: and hoping, wishing something better to happen to and for her. A pull-at-your heartstrings story with an uplifting message! Highly recommended!
A SENTIMENTAL, CLEAN HOLIDAY ROMANCE "Oh Baubles" is a sad and sentimental tale of loss, despair, and healing. Charlene suffered a tragic accident in which she lost her husband. In addition to guilt for having survived because of her husband's final heroic act, she received debilitating injuries, a prominent facial scar, and lost a leg. Almost two years later, she is still in pain and requires further treatment. Although this is a short read, it is not a light romance, but a poignant tale elevated throughout by the author's skilled writing. I highly recommend it!
REAL PEOPLE. REAL LIFE. REAL LOVE. This book is engaging and warm. The characters are real right from the start. The scenario is relatable and well understood by the author. Having each of the main characters tell their versions of what is happening, draws one into the story with head-nodding agreement. There are chuckles, moments when you will hold your breath, and several plot twists woven expertly throughout. Because of the genre, one would expect a happy ending however, that fact doesn't lessen the impact. A most enjoyable read from start to finish.
BEAUTIFUL This is such a beautiful romantic story. After losing her husband in a car crash, she's left with life altering injuries. But it's not only her scars that have to heal, her heart does too, and eighteen months on, she begins to have feelings for her physiotherapist. Trouble is, neither seem to be able to declare their feelings. Each worrying that the other is thinking something different to them. They just can't seem to get on the same page but after falling into each others paths, they seem to finally show how they truly feel only for it all to fall flat on its face again. You can't help but hope these two get together and in this hallmark worthy Christmas story you are along for the ride as soon as you open the first page. I thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas themed romance and would love to read more about these characters.
A STORY ABOUT LOSS, LOVE AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS If you are searching a story to dive into the Christmas period, this is the story for you. "Oh, Baubles" is a story about loss, recovery, and finding your path after a traumatic event, but it's also about love, misunderstandings and insecurities. How much our perception of ourselves can damage our potential relationship with new people? I'm only sorry it's just a novella and not a full-length novel because with more pages there would have been more room to explore the themes and characters stories further.
