Love Me By Christmas by Jaci Burton

4.0

Nick moves his brother's widow, Ellie into his house after his brother died. Ellie was pregnant. Nick has been there all along for her, through delivery to helping raise Henry. Nick realizes he has deeper feelings for Ellie and would like to take their relationship to another level but is afraid of jeopardizing what they have.

To the reader Ellie can be a little hard to take. In fact she can get on the nerves. Nick is just so amazing that it is difficult for us to relate to her. But I feel that the author does a great job with the reality of what Ellie is dealing with. Her emotions are all over the place. She has gone through a terrible loss, still dealing with the ups and downs of that loss, feels guilty for robbing Nick of a life and feels guilty for having more than 'brother' feelings for Nick.

Kudos to Nick for having the patience of a saint and staying strong to his feelings for Ellie. He knows what they can have together. Every person out there would love to have Nick as their partner, someone so committed to them and have their back no matter what.

There is just something about a holiday romance that just adds a deeper level of warmth to the story.
