Claiming Christmas was a heart wrenching yet tenderly, loving holiday romance story. Declan is a former race car driver who lives out in the mountains out of guilt and blame for past mistakes and Lara is a young woman who goes to her family cabin to figure her life out. The story line was heartbreaking and filled with healing, forgiveness, and second chances at life and love. Wonderful characters that readers can’t help but love and just bring tears to reader’s eyes. A fantastic story that I loved and couldn’t put down.

Well written story with a nice storyline and plot. I like that the characters and how they develop.
A passionate and emotional read with twists. Enjoyable and recommendable.
It is written in dual POV which gives the reader much more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. The epilogue is very welcomed and gives the story more to it and it finishes it better of than without it.
Two characters that have bagage from the past they have to solve before they can have their HEA. Not always an easy task. How to find yourself and go on from there? Lovely short story that is worth the read and very enjoyable. It is sweet and heartwarm.
This well written storyline and well developed characters captivated me right from the very first page which made it very difficult to put this book down until I finished reading the very last page!
He had everything he wanted until one phone call changed it all and now he is in the woods trying to get away from it all. She turns up for help in chopping wood. It was not long before he was ripping her clothes off. Will it be a short time thing or will it become more? See if it will

I like these Mountainman romances where the hulky lumberjack recluse has his cold heart thawed by the heroine.
In this case, Declan has been in the mountains roughing it alone as a sort of peneance for things gone wrong in the past. Celibate for two long years, he is attracted to Lara when she comes blazing into his mountain to settle in at the next cabin a mile away.
I thought this was a sweet romance with all the expected bells and whistles. I would have enjoyed it more if Lara didn’t come across as such an airhead. She takes off to find herself by going to her brother’s cabin in an area unknown to her. She doesn’t come prepared, has no heat, no food, and it’s snowing, because, duh, it’s winter and she’s on a mountain.
And yes, this is a romance and not real, but she approaches a mean looking lumberjack stranger and has no problem relying on him from the get-go.
Once I got past that, I was able to enjoy the story and Lara ended up having a sweet naïve heart that was just what Declan needed to heal from his self punishing behavior

Cabin in the Woods Romance
A good novella to read. Declan has escaped from the real world to seek peace & quiet, blaming himself for not being there for his sister. Lara is also escaping to the mountain cabin next door to Declan, to seek answers on what direction she wants her life to go. Declan is the gruff lumberjack pushing Lara away from him but Lara has spunk & sees he’s hurting deeply inside & wants to help him. A moving story of how they both have issues to work through & with both of them having the strong attraction towards each other, you know living by yourself in a mountain cabin won’t last long. Worthwhile reading this story!

I received an ARC of this book and offered to share my thoughts. It was written well, with good characters and an interesting storyline, but for me, just wasn’t my interest. The recluse thing for me is so overdone and it didn’t stand out enough to really pull me in to overlook that fact. It was a good story though for others who enjoy this more.

This was an awesome story; I could not stop reading it once I started. This story is about a man, (Declan), who does not forgive himself for not taking his responsibilities of family more seriously. He loses the only one left in his family, decides to isolate himself from the world, and becomes a mountain man. For two years, he has kept his isolation under wraps until someone who is also trying to isolate herself, (Lara), in order to find her purpose in life shows up and interrupts his “ZEN”. Of course there is a happily ever after to this story, but the irritation that he takes with her is too funny no to keep reading. She is one tough cookie and is determined to find out what is wrong with him to fix him up before she leaves. She of course finds her purpose in life but that is after she gets him to forgive himself for what he lived through. It is a must read as I stated in my title family is lost here and although everyone grieves differently, it is always good to talk to someone and not bottle up those feelings.
