The Christmas Gift? by Jordan Ford
5.0
THE CHRISTMAS GIFT? is a novella set in the Barlow Sisters series. No worries if you haven't read any previous books, though, this is a standalone.
We've met both Rahn and Roman in the original series. Rahn is Chloe's best friend (Foul Play Book 3). Roman is best friends with Cairo (Strike Out Book 2). This is the quintessential opposites attract; boy from the wrong side of the tracks gets the good girl story. Rahn is struggling with her parents' disdain for Roman. Roman is battling with the feeling of not being good enough for Rahn. When another complication is thrown into the mix, Roman and Rahn find themselves on the brink of breakup. Is their relationship strong enough to withstand this huge obstacle?
I read and loved the entire Barlow Sisters series and I'm super happy that Roman and Rahn find their happy ever after in this sweet, light drama. Yes, there's a twist in the story that threatens to tear these two apart but it's also plain to see how much Rahn and Roman adore each other. Novellas are always tricky for me because I often find myself trying to connect to the characters. This one? Nope! I had no problem at all relating to both of these incredibly sweet and REAL individuals. I loved being able to see Rahn and Roman's strengths as well as their vulnerabilities. Things weren't easy for them but they preserved together and I enjoyed their journey.
This is an hour or two diversion if you're looking for a well written story about two young but committed lovers and how they overcome diversity and personal hurdles. Told from dual POVs with a happy, Christmas miracle ending. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
