A story of redemption and a reunion at Christmas? Yes please. Ms Burke packed a ton into this story and I just kept turning the pages needing to know how everything was going play out. I, personally, could have used just a touch more as I felt it wrapped up a bit too neatly and abruptly. But that didn't take away from my enjoyment of the story.

This is the third book in this series, and I haven't read the others... and I don't feel like I was missing anything. That said, I might just have to go back since I *think* the secondary characters in this book were the leads in the prior ones and my curiosity is piqued.

I've enjoyed all the books I've read by Ms Burke in the past and this is another winner. I look forward to reading more from her in the future.

In full disclosure, I received an advanced copy of this book. But all thoughts are my own.
