An Almost Perfect Christmas by Donna Fasano

I started reading this book by Donna Fasano and it touched my heart because I can connect with the characters in this story.

The story is about a father, daughter, a wish list and a caring nurse. Izzie is very ill with cancer, she is an avid list maker and she has asked her father for a family Christmas with a make believe mommy as she lost her mum 2 years ago, and this is where the story starts with Aaron (the father) asking the staff at the hospital if anyone can help him give his daughter (Izzie), the family Christmas she wants. Christy (the nurse) steps forward and offers her assistance, to help Aaron help Izzie to tick off everything on her list.

I have to congratulate Donna Fasano on the compassionate way she has written this sad and beautiful love story, I read it in one sitting because I was drawn into this book. Emotion and love comes alive in these pages.

Christmas Captive by Rebecca York

I love paranormal romances and this was fabulous. It is about a rich entrepreneur, who is left for dead and in a coma. His family bring him home from the hospital to look after him but his gran is worried about him and she hires a nurse who hopefully can get through to him and bring him out of his coma.

This is a beautiful story about love and loss and finding out that you can love and live again.

However, she bought it without seeing it and it was in need of some TLC. Clint is the foreman she has hired to help and they seem to bump heads on everything from breakfast to repairs. This is a lovely story of love, well worth a read.

The Christmas Honeymoon by Alicia Street

I loved this story of Serena and Damien, she is the woman who was left 10 days before her wedding and moved away to return to North Cove 12 months later and he is the rich good looking local boy who wants to find a wife. Serena and Damien are total opposites and I just loved how they got together, this is a story well worth your time to read. Quite librarian and sexy man = great combination.

This is a story about a widowed mother suffering from an unknown illness and a beautiful three year old.
