A captivating short emotionally engaging storyline. Amazing strong characters. Well written book, I liked reading it. It was a pleasured to read and review it.
Book four of the A Chicago Christmas series I thought book one was good it is my go to book at Christmas but it looks like I will be reading this one also. Once I started this book I was not putting it down. Laura Beth Walters and Joe McCall’s story has to deal with a lot after he gets back from the Korean War and their love before he leaves to go. I would recommend this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
