"Christmas with a chimera" is the third book set in Claw Haven, a fictional small town in Alaska where monsters can live in peace.
Each book is a standalone and in this one we follow Arthur, a chimera who is a famous actor and Emma who owns a cafe. The two of them were high school sweethearts but they broke up when Arthur decided to leave Claw Haven to become a movie star. Many years later he returns to the town he grew up to film a movie and meets Emma again.
Arthur and Emma were both very well written and deep characters. Emma was stuck in her anger because Arthur left her behind and Arthur bottled up his feelings and never showed his true self. I loved seeing them accept their flaws and grow. They tried hard to be better people and make their relationship work. Their feelings for each other were strong and I loved the sweet moments between them. I adore second chance romances and I had a great time reading their story.
I can't wait to read more books set in Claw Haven and I really hope Joshua the minotaur will get a book because he's a sweetheart.
