Holiday Hearts by A.C. Arthur


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Scrouge is a woman. A young woman, who has been scarred by her parents bitter divorce. Keysa Donovan has been so affected by her parent's break-up during the holdiays, that she refuses to celebrate Christmas at all. But there is someone looking out for her and waiting to restore her faith in family, love and the true spirit of the season.


Ian Sanchez has been jonesin' for Keysa ever since becoming a director at the marketing firm where she works and at nearly very turn, she has managed to keep him at a distance. Not anymore. This man is determined to make her see that she can't always live inside of her mother's pain and must start to live for herself. Though Keysa is now a grown woman, she is still taking sides in her parents failed relationship and doesn't speak with her father. This has also the reason why she tries to keep Ian at arms length. After spending time with Ian and realizing that he means a lot to her, Keysa decides speak to her parents and understand what happened to them will not happen to her. I would have loved for her to be so over this but it is a novella and only so much can be done and I don't think I could have stood her whining for a full novel. I was rooting for her to "take the man and run."


This was a good holiday treat about the healing power of forgiveness.
