Note: This was a single title previously published, which has been expanded and is now Book 1 in this new, exciting series.She hides behind her broken heart…Natalie suffered through a loss no mother should ever have to, and came out the other side vowing to keep her fractured heart locked away forever. After the recent death of her grandmother, and yet another surgery, she moves back to the … another surgery, she moves back to the magical town she grew up in, where she plans to live in isolation—nursing her broken body and shattered emotions.
When a little cherub suddenly appears her first day there insisting Natalie decorate for Christmas, she snaps at the child and comes face to face with a man she’d spent a week with years ago—standing vigil at her meddling cousin’s hospital bed—a man she’d held in her heart ever since.
As her gaze locks on those gunmetal gray eyes, recognition is instantaneous—the attraction just as electric as ever—and she’s ashamed and miserable to have berated his little girl.
When tragedy befalls her again, she find herself ensconced in his home next door, reluctantly falling under the spell of this compassionate, handsome-as-sin man, and his sweet young child.
He’d fallen under her spell years ago…
Zach couldn’t believe someone would snap at his little girl just because she’d suggested turning on Christmas lights. When he bounds up his new neighbor’s porch steps to retrieve his child, he comes face to face with the woman who’d burrowed into his mind and heart years ago—a woman he couldn’t forget—and was shocked at the pain and sadness still radiating from her beautiful eyes.
He knew it would be best to ignore this emotionally damaged, sensuous woman, but his heart and soul knew she was meant for him and refused to cooperate.
The tug of sympathy and compassion vie with the desire to get to know her as a woman—to find out if the attraction that had enveloped them both years ago in her cousin’s hospital room was still as strong as ever.
When tragedy strikes again and forces her into his home to be cherished and cared for, he’ll finally get his chance to prove they belong together.
The flames in her house kindle the heat flaming between them…
Neither Zach or Natalie are prepared for hearts tripping and emotional barriers falling when he snatches her from the flames engulfing her home and winds up tucking her into his spare bedroom. He’ll have the chance to prove to her not all men have evil intentions—that their mutual attraction had evolved to much, much more—and that a certain little cherub needed and wanted a mommy for Christmas.
Will holiday hearts awaken to passion and new love, or will Zach and Natalie let this chance at healing their broken hearts pass them by?

The storyline was well written and the characters were very likable, believable and so engaging which made this book a very enjoyable read!
A gentle love story, Holiday Hearts Awakening speaks of hearts that have been broken and in need of healing, and who better to bring this about than one irrepressible little girl who wants everyone to be happy and enjoy Christmas with her. The attraction between Natalie and Zach is instant and surprises both of them. I could identify with Natalie having lost her child and from experience know that it can take years to get over the tragic death of your son or daughter. Zach’s paranoia regarding his daughter’s safety is also understandable. As a Christmas holiday story, this book will not be suitable for all readers. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.
Natalie has had to face some heavy losses in her life and is trying to move to a new town to deal with her life. Her job allows her to stay home and with her injured leg she is having troubles getting around so she is not trying to make friends in her new town. Her house catches on fire and she has to rely on a complete stranger to help her.
Zach is ex-military with his own share of troubles in his past. But his main purpose in life is his young daughter Belle. Love is not what he was looking for. And he got a handful of attitude when he ends up helping Natalie his neighbor when the house fire happens.
This was a cute quick love story to read. Although there is loss mentioned in the book it did not bother me but if some had the same kind of loss it might. It was written well because I did not like Belle’s mother at all, not just ehh she is a horrible person but I actually did not like the character. I would definitely read more from this author. They did move very fast for my taste but it still is a good book. Oh and Belle was captured perfectly the little kid stare that startles you awake is very relatable.
I got this book for free to review from ebook discovery in exchange for an honest review. The opinions in this review are 100% my own.
This was a cozy read where healing and second chances are possible a Christmas. It was quite easy to empathize with both Natalie and Zachs’ situations and all the things endured in the past. It was very heartwarming to see love bloom for such deserving people.

Sweet short story with some steamy scenes. I prefer a longer story to develop the characters more, thereby making the romance more believable. I received this book from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review,
I have no Christmas spirit this year. I need a neighbor like the one in this book to help me find it again. All of the characters in this book seemed like real people that I could enjoy sharing a pizza with. I think they had pizza about 3 times in this novella. They are my kind of folks!
