Cute. The story was sweet. Doesn’t leave much to the imagination. A bit too much sex and not quite enough substance. Cute storyline idea though. Not a bad read….
4 Hopeful Stars!!!
I always love when Mayra releases a new book. I was looking forward to this one BC I really wanted Carrie’s story when I read Mayra’s previous book Etched In Stone.
Carrie Blue didn’t have an easy childhood. All she’s wanted was a stable home and a family and friends. She’s gotten her dream teaching job and has her best friends. Carrie was happy with her life. Then, Joel Vega walked into her classroom and her in circles.
Joel Vega is a software developer and when he walks into the school thats using his program he made. But, the instant he saw teacher Carrie Blue everything changed.No matter how many times he asks her out she turns him down. But, Joel refuses to take no for an answer.
When Joel gets a reluctant Carrie to say yes to a date he wisks her off to Hope Falls, California. Joel plans to make it the best first date she’s ever had. Joel takes Carrie to the cutest, most adorable places. Carrie might of been unsure of Joel at first. But, now she’s looking at him with her eyes and heart wide open.
I finished this book in one evening. I am not a huge fan of novellas. I always feel everything is too rushed. But, when I read Mayra’s novella series Never Too Late, I really loved them. As much as I liked this book I was disappointed as well. I felt the story was rushed. And, the way Carrie went from being cautious and doesn’t trust easily. To falling head over heals so fast. I guess BC I have liked her since the previous story I was invested in her and wished she got a longer book. I guess that is me being needy LOL. All in all its a nice cute read. Oh and Joel. It has Joel. Perfection LOL
Loved this sweet, short read. Angie and Nathan meet on holiday and their connection is instant and so hot. But this is so much more than a holiday romance. Man this book gave me the warm fuzzies and plenty of hot moments too! Definitely worth a read, snuggle up and grab a hot chocolate!
This story is going right on my Holiday book shelf. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and I’m not just talking about the cookies, even though that part was VERY entertaining. The way Fate brought Nathan and Angie together was written beautifully and I’m glad I gave this book a chance.
Happy Reading
I am such a fan girl of Mayra and her characters and this little vacation romance did not disappoint!! Angie and Nathan meet while vacationing in the romantic island of Hawaii . The spark and amazing energy they share is more than either one expected. How are they to make a long distance relationship work they live on opposite ends of the coast. Angie is sure the relationship / fling has ended and Nathan decides that he is going to find this amazing woman no matter what the cost!
Loved it !!

Mayra Statham has written one hot Christmas story! Nathan and Angie meet on vacation but that doesn’t stop them from following their hearts. We follow their journey of finding each other again and nothing will stop them. This was a fun read with lots of sexiness. I couldn’t stop till it was over. Y’all are going to enjoy this book! Highly recommended.
Do you believe in fate?? Nathan and Angie met on vacation and knew they had something special. Circumstances happen that keep them apart until fate brings them together. It is Kismet!!
