This is a bit different for a holiday story. The prologue takes place 4 years earlier, and the story itself starts around Halloween. I really like that it spans Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas as a holiday story. This is just a great story. It’s a 2nd chance, best friend’s little sister, and holiday story all in one. Pike and Billie each have their flaws, and have some obstacles to overcome to before the can be together. These characters are complex and very well written. I’d love to see some the secondary characters get their own stories as well! I’m looking forward to reading more by this author!

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters were interesting. Billy has a crush on her brothers best friend. Pike ended up going against his best friend, Pike ended up going in the military for four years. When Pike come home from service, Pike seen Billy and the chemistry between these two are off the charts, there was heartache and love.

We don’t really know someone or what they are going through, the best we can do is be understanding and listen. The sweet second chance story is strained as it is filled with misunderstandings and hurt of not knowing the whole truth.
Pike is known for being the town’s bad boy, his only true friend only knows the surface. At the annual Christmas kegger, he finds himself with his best friend’s sister, then dissapeared unknown to why to his friends.
Billie, lost to why Pike is gone, is confronted by her brother about their involvement, he is so angry that it causes strain on their relationship.
Once back together, Billie and Pike’s passionate has an intensity of a 4 alarm fire as they navigate the path to find their way back to each other.

Beautiful love story with lots of drama.
I loved this book & couldn’t put it down desperately hoping that Pike & Billie would get their happy ever after. She had fancied him from being a child & being that he was her brother Morgan’s best friend he spent a lot of time at their house. When Morgan opened the letter Pike had sent to Billie when his left without telling anybody & found out about them he hated him & made sure Billie did by letting her think for 4yrs that Pike didn’t want her which was far from the truth. I’m glad that but by bit Pike wore her down until she admitted that she still had feelings for him & it made me smile. Definately a great book to read.

A phenomenal second chance romance! Beautifully written, well-developed, and heartwarming! The story line is amazing, drama-filled, funny, witty, and fast pace; the writing is fluid and the story flows smoothly. Amazing and endearing characters that are perfect for each other; the chemistry between them is intense and undeniable! Looking forward to reading more from this series! Definitely recommended!

Our hero left for the military to figure life out after having a fling with his best friend’s sister. He explained what he was doing in a letter, but the brother intercepted it and hid it. Queue dramatic music.
This is a second chance romance story. The story is well written and easy to read, with a cast of wonderful characters. I really liked both our hero and heroine and can understand their challenges brought on by the well-meaning but misguided brother. Our couple has some definite challenges to face, but they are both more mature now and rest assured they will get their HEA. But the story is about the journey and it was well worth the read. Highly enjoyable.
Highly recommended.

Second chance at a Christmas wish
An Innocent Christmas is actually a story that is a triple holiday romance story starting at Halloween, then rounding into Thanksgiving before sliding deeply into Christmas. It also have a number of romance tropes, best friend’s sister/brother’s best friend, lost love, friends to lovers and of course second chance.
Billie is Morgan’s younger sister and Pike is Morgan’s best friend. One night Billie and Pike get really close but then he leaves to join the service and try to figure out his life. Billie thinks he just up and left her as he never said anything about leaving. What she does not know is that Pike actually left Billie a letter explaining things only Morgan took it so Billie would not get it.
It is now four years later and Pike is back. He also wants Billie back and he will not stop until he does. Their chemistry is still there in spades but so is all the drama that comes with it, between everyone.
This is a really nicely written story that is perfect for the holiday season.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
An Innocent Christmas is a beautiful Christmas romance between Billie and Pike. He was her brother’s best friend and when she turned eighteen he became her first. He leaves for the military and she doesn’t see him until he is back in town four years later. Billie and Pike’s story is filled with angst, drama, steam and misunderstandings. The characters are believable and the writing is great.
Billie and Pike had a good story. I enjoyed that Billie and Pike had one time together and then he is off to the Army leaving something behind he had no idea about. This was a good read that I enjoyed.

It started rough between Pike and Billie.
After longing for Pike – her brother’s best friend – so many years, she finally tells him that she wants him.
After a night together, he leaves the next morning without telling anyone.
Four years later he’s back…
I really enjoyed reading this story. The characters were well described and likeable. I would love to read more about this family.

Billie has had a crush on her brother Morgan’s best friend Pike since she was 14 years old. Pike was the town bad boy but deep down was a good guy. He had been in a relationship with a girl and they had broken up so on the night of the yearly Christmas party Billie sets out to make sure Pike notices her and she is determined to have him take her virginity. Pike notices her and finally gives in to her wishes but he soon realizes he feels he has made a mistake because of his best friend Morgan. Pike truly cares for Billie but is not sure of what he wants out of life so he enlist in the service and leaves without telling anyone goodbye. He does write a letter to Billie confessing his feelings for her and that he would love to see where their relationship goes but thanks to her brother Morgan, Billie never receives the letter. Four years later Pike is out of the service and decides to return home not knowing if he and Billie will have a future or not. Billie is mad she thinks Pike left and wanted nothing to do with her and that she was just another conquest for him. When Billie and Pike finally cross paths of course the chemistry is still there but with all the miscommunication will they stand a chance?
I loved this slow burn brothers best friend second chance romance, and Katy did an awesome job with the storyline, it pulled me in from the very beginning. Billie and Pike’s chemistry was electric and yet so sweet. Pike is so sweet, caring and loving who wouldn’t want him as a boyfriend. Billie is a woman who knows what she wants and goes for it. I loved the way Pike fought for their relationship and stood up for Billie. Morgan, even though he came across as a jerk brought so much to the story. I hope there is a second book with Morgan & Michelle’s story and hopefully it will include a little more of Pike and Billie’s story hopefully letting us know the sex of their baby.
An Innocent Christmas is a must read and well deserving of 5 plus stars.

An Innocent Christmas is a small town love story between Pike & Billie that goes thru struggles over a four year period after Pike leaves for the army. Billie & Pike think that neither wants anything to do with each other when his letter goes unanswered. When Pike comes back home they reconnect & their chemistry is off the charts. This is a great romantic holiday read with major chemistry & drama,well worth the time to read!

This is book three in the Holiday Heat series. Billie is attracted to her brother’s best friend, Pike. In a moment of determination, weakness or fate, these two characters get together for one night. Pike leaves and joins the military soon after, leaving Billie broken hearted and pregnant. It has been four years and Pike returns home. Can the holidays bring these two together for a second chance? I always love reading this author’s work, each book contains a good story with characters that are as exciting to get to know as they are hot and steamy. Enjoy!

Billie has liked her brother’s best friend for awhile now and when she turns eighteen she decides to make her move. Pike tries to stop things from happening between them but once he realizes he has wanted her too he gives in. However he starts to regret it afterwards because of how young Billie is. He ends up enlisting in the military but before he goes he writes a note to Billie. When Billie gets home her brother is waiting for her and he knows about her and Pike. This makes things difficult between them. Now years later Pike is coming back and he is going to face his best friend and Billie because he has never forgotten her. What he doesn’t know is that her brother interfered between him and Billie. Will Billie give Pike a second chance? Will her brother ruin any chance they have together?
This is a great holiday story that once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.
