Her Holiday Man by Shannon Stacey
4.0
After being sent to prison for a financial scandal, Christina Forrester is just focusing on getting by with her son. Where she once had more wealth than many people ever dream of, now she lives paycheck to paycheck. She does a good job, and she's actually finding that she likes being more independent and being able to count on herself to get things done. What she doesn't count on is her attraction to handsome neighbor Will.
After his father's death a few months ago, Will decides that this time of year is perfect for moving home to be with his family and help his mother out. A tragedy years ago drove Will away, but he thinks he's ready to move back home. What he's not ready for is Christina and her son Nathaniel who already have seemed to form and attachment with his mother.
I thought Her Holiday Man was a typical cute, quick holiday read. Shannon Stacey did a great job of making the story feel full even though it's only a novella. Will and Christina are instantly attracted to one another, and they both have some pretty big issues to work through in order to get to the point where they would want to explore things further.
I loved the sense of the holidays in the pages of the story. When done right, stories like these just make me feel so full of the holiday spirit and if it wasn't still October, I would probably be yearning for snow and Christmas Carols.
The premise is nothing new, it's difficult nowadays to write anything that hasn't been done before, but I still enjoyed the story. It will be a perfect read in December snuggled up on the couch with a warm blanket and some hot chocolate.
