To be honest this is not what I was expecting for Rahn and Romans story. I was hoping for more of them getting together and falling in love. Not them already being together for 4 months and then finding out that they weren’t as careful as they thought.
Rahn’s parents are church goers and don’t believe in sex before marriage. They also don’t approve of Roman even though he has changed.
Rahn finds out something unexpected and doesn’t know how to deal with it. Unfortunately she doesn’t handle it well and disappeared for a few days without telling anyone where she went. She freaks everyone out but thankfully answers Chloe’s phone call.
I loved that Roman stepped up and these two obviously love each other. I just wish that we could have gotten more of them being together instead of worrying about everything.
I loved this series though and will miss these characters.
The Christmas Gift? is a sweet addition to the Barlow Sisters books. In this one, we get to know Rahn and Roman. Rahn is Chloe’s best friend, and Roman is the drummer in Cairo’s band. We’ve met both of them in previous books, and both were characters I wanted to see more of.
Rahn and Roman both have their own histories to deal with, as do every single couple EVER! These two also have different cultures though, which can add a bit more difficulty to the mix. One thing that is clear from the start is just how much these two mean to each other. The problem is pretty much self-explanatory, but it is written exceedingly well. Nothing about it is glossed over, or diminished. I would love to see just how these two get on, and with the next set of books due to come soon, I am hoping for a crossover – even if it’s only a little one!
Well written, with no editing or grammatical errors, this was one sweet read. You may need to visit the dentist afterwards! Definitely recommended by me.

This novel was short and sweet and I really want to know what happens to these characters next. These two young characters were meant for each other. From different cultures it was never going to be easy. His past and her parents, will these issues stand in their way? I could see what was coming, it was relatable, so young and their lives about to change…for better or worse, you be the judge. I enjoyed it and recommend this series for the lives of the other characters.
Rahn & Roman’s sweet Christmas story is a great addition to the Barlow Sisters Trilogy. It was fun catching up with all of the characters, especially Vincent and Chloe. Vincent Mancini is still my favorite!
I loved getting a glimpse of the characters for Jordan Ford’s next series. I can’t wait to meet the surfers in the Ryder Bay series!
