An honest review thanks to Netgalley...
Ummm... wow, this is the first book I read from Jeannie Moon, and I immediately fell in love, I read this book in two hours flat, unable to put it down. I fell in love with Maggie and Will so fast, they were perfect for each other, the chemistry and connection between them was amazing. More than that I loved all of the secondary characters, and there were a lot of them. This book is a quick read for sure but you won't want to put it down once you start. I have a feeling I am going to be reading a lot more of Jeannie Moon's books for now on.

Pretty okay. Loved the premise and loved what the characters had gone through (not like that). I did have a few problems though. I loved the romance, however, it always felt like we were just getting to know Maggie. Everything about her was explained through the story, but Will’s life always felt like an afterthought. Also, that ending felt so anti-climatic. Yet another book that left the downfall (a weak and out of nowhere one too) to the very end and then it was fixed real easy. No thanks. Everything was going well and then it felt like the author suddenly remembers there needed to be a bit of drama, so she added the weakest shit ever. I’m not having that.
Despite this, I still had a fun time and it’s Christmas themed so I have to forgive it.

I received a review copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Even though the cover itself doesn't have Christmas elements to make it look like it's a Christmas novel, the colour is Christmassy as well as having Christmas in the title to let us know. I do love that it's romantic looking as that is in keeping with the book.
To be honest I never read the synopsis I requested this one because of the author as I have always enjoyed her books plus I always like to read a Christmas book around Christmas time. So when I read that the main character was an amputee I wasn't sure what I was going to get with the book as I like light hearted books at Christmas so I didn't want to be depressed but thankfully it wasn't too depressing, yes there was depressing moments but all in all it wasn't too bad. I loved that it was about an amputee and how she was coping with it as it's different to anything that I have ever read plus its good that authors aren't afraid to tackle difficult issues. It was a very sweet book and I loved the relationship between Maggie and Will however I do feel as though it was a little rushed as everything happened within the space of a month which for me isn't realistic but I didn't mind too much as it was a short book so I kind went in with my eyes open in that sense. The ending was left a bit too open for my liking as there was a few unanswered questions that I would loved to have known.
I loved the two main characters but I wasn't such a fan of the secondary characters as they felt like they where a bit selfish but there was a couple of secondary characters that I had met in previous series so it was nice to see them again. Maggie is one of the strongest characters that I have ever read as she had such a difficult time especially trying to cope with being an amputee, there was times when she didn't cope very well but for the most part I forgot about her disability. For me Will is the most caring male character ever and I loved everything about him as well as the things he did for Maggie.
Overall another great Christmas book from Jeannie Moon.

There was character development but not as much development between the two characters. I wanted there to be more.
