An electrifying holiday romance.
Anna McKinnon and David Beren are as opposite as they come. Anna is a sassy tattooed bartender and David is an investment banker, professional in every way. Anna is Catholic and David is Jewish. With these differences, they shouldn’t work, but they do. And they work well together. But one thing holds Anna back. She was hurt by a man in her past and she hasn’t been able to let it go. It’s up to David to help her realize how good they could be together and that he is in the relationship for the long haul.
Anna and David are a couple characters I won’t soon forget. They had real world problems and obstacles to overcome, but when they finally realized they were in love, nothing could tear them apart. New York City played a big part in this book too. I could easily visualize the locations that Anna and David visited and picture how the scenes played out. I also enjoyed the combination of Christmas and Hanukkah together in one story. It made for a unique tale. This book really put me in the mood for the holidays.
I really enjoyed reading this one,loved Anna’s character such a free spirit working as a bartender behind the bar for her brother, both born and raised as a Catholic in Ireland ,came here to New York start a business .This storyline reminds me of a Paula Abdul song Opposites Attract .Anna and David couldn’t be more different, her a free spirit with her tattoos,2 toned hair color of black and orange for Halloween when they first met and David with his intense job as an investment broker raised Jewish loved their chemistry between them,how will they celebrate the holiday season you will just have to 1-click.I already have another book picked out by Ms.Gracen It might be you.
