A sweet, feel-good holiday romance!

Ellie Washington hates Christmastime. Five years ago, her beloved husband, John, passed away during the holiday season and left pregnant Ellie a widow. Having no family of her own, Ellie moved in with John's brother, Nick, who was also having a difficult time coping with the loss. Nick and Ellie leaned on each other during their grief and Nick was there to help when Ellie's son, Henry, was born. Fast forward five years later, Ellie and Nick still live together and feelings are starting to develop.

To be perfectly honest, it was a little icky for me to think of Ellie moving on from her husband with her brother-in-law. However, the author did a fantastic job addressing this twist of fate. Both Ellie and Nick have had sufficient time to grieve and realize their budding attraction to each other is genuine. Plus, Nick is such an amazing father figure to Henry that you can't help rooting for them. If you're looking for a comforting, sweet romance for the holidays, look no further!
