I love Christmas but I don't ever read Christmas stories, or stories about Christmastime. I just don't care for them. But c'mon! This is Vonnie frikkin' Davis here! I LOVED her Highland Series and I'm a fan. And with VD (heheh) ya know it's gonna be a good experience (chuckling). This story is par for the course. Starting out the gate with humorous action, immediately roping in my interest.
Ciera Parker is a divorcee and not interested in any kind of involvement with a man. She's very giving and caring of her co-workers and friends. But she's also feisty, stubborn and doesn't trust easily with men because she's been burned once and it was once too often. Ciera is a very independent, and cautious young woman. She's worked as a dispatcher for the Police/Fireman/EMS Dept. for two years.
Detective Mason Holt is well known for his temper. He's a lonely man. He's a handsome, sexy devil with his black hair and warm dark brown eyes and has no problem attracting women...except Ciera. He's watched and waited two years to make his feelings known for her (knowing her history with her ex). And when he finally does make his move, it's "no holds barred". He's direct with his approach and his compliments and opening his heart.... and he's jealous and possessive.
It was a little comical how quickly Mason moves with his intentions towards Ciera. He's controlling and bossy and obsessed with her...and he doesn't apologize for how strongly he feels or his direct approach. I loved this guy!! This was a cute and fun story. And even though it's a novella, it still gave plenty of detailed character descriptions and personality traits. Connection came easily. It has a little bit of mystery and drama. Ms. Davis has the wonderful ability/talent (or at least this humble reader thinks so..), of conveying and portraying and unfolding each scene to its zenith with technicolor and brilliant clarity building to a fabulous ear splitting crescendo. Before the reader is even aware what has happened, Ms. Author has you captured and enthralled with the storyline as it deepens and the romantic plot thickens. The journey is short but absolutely exquisite, and fun and delightful throughout. It never lost momentum and leaves with a wonderful HEA finish.
