A review by novelesque_life
Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor by Lisa Kleypas
4.0
4 STARS
Since the death of her mother six-year-old Holly has not spoken. Her mother Victoria has chosen her bachelor brother, Mark to take care of her daughter. Mark knows nothing about taking care of children but he is all she has and has to do all he can for her. He moves in with his brother Sam and together they try to give their niece her life back.
Holly meets Maggie a toy shop owner who has imagination and also has broken heart (as a recent widow). As Maggie starts to bring the Nolans back to life she comes to the conclusion that being with the Nolans could very well break her heart.
I'm also weary of contemporary romance -if there is no mystery- but I instantly fell in love with Friday Harbor and the Nolan brothers. I like that while Maggie is a strong heroine she also has realistic fears and insecurities. The end felt a bit rushed but I find that is more the nature of romance genre to tie things up.
