Christmas is the season of second chances. I’m not the same guy I was growing up, but I have some apologies to make for being him. My fifteen-year high school reunion reminds me of my biggest regret. Walking away from the love of my life to chase my career. By doing so, I fell in love with another woman, had a little boy, and life mended itself. Until my wife passed away. Love can suck it. …
Until my wife passed away.
Love can suck it. I’m not interested anymore.
And yet the minute I see my childhood sweetheart at our reunion, the ice melts inside my chest.
But she hates my guts for leaving her without a goodbye when we were kids, and I can’t blame her.
An unexpected chain of events has her in an accident and without her memory for a short time.
As much as I hate myself for doing it, I tell her she watches my son and works for me.
I just need time to help her remember how much we loved each other.
It’s not right, but she’s always been mine.
I can’t keep up the lie forever, but before I reveal what I’ve done, maybe she’ll see the man I am today.
Different. Strong. Completely in love with her.
Or maybe she’ll recognize the truth.
I haven’t changed at all.

Weston Parker has created such an emotionally driven yet romantic holiday love story. Fifteen years after walking away from his soulmate Callum as a second chance to make things right and fall in love with Lina all over again following an accident that causes her to lose her memory. Readers will be put on an emotional roller coaster of fears, doubts, laughter, tears, and second chances with My Holiday Reunion. A fantastic read that I was unable to put down.
“I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.”
I’m going to be honest, this isn’t one of my favorites from this author and I really enjoy reading his books. This is your typical second chance romance about two people who date in college and then break up and go their separate ways. Then 15 years later they find themselves at their reunion and you know what happens after that. I’m giving this book a total of 3.75 stars.
Loved this second chance reunion.
Loved that Callum and Lina had a second chance meeting after 15yrs apart.
I know Cal tricked Lina after her accident into believing she worked for him but so, so glad they got their HEA
A well written story with nice storyline and plot. I like it is written in dual POV which gives the reader more of the feelings and thoughts of the main characters and brings the story closer to the reader.
Great chemistry between the well described characters. This second chance romance is heartwarm about two high school sweethearts meets again after 15 years at a reunion. An accident happens and what that brings for the both of them is a journey worth to follow towards their HEA.
A story filled with heartbreak, passion, twists and an emotional roller coaster. It is absolutely worth the time and one-click.
Cal and Lina were a couple in high school, Cal broke up with her and they didn’t see each other until their 15th high school reunion. Lina is still holding her grudge against Cal. Now, Lina is dependent upon him. Oh man, what is going to happen when she finds out he lied to her?
I really enjoyed this book. It’s about a first love that never goes away, and a second chance that almost crashes and burns. Regrets are exposed and spoken. Emotions fly high. Love soars. It’s a very emotional, romantic, drama filled book that will have you curling your toes by the end and clapping. Really good.
I really love Weston Parker. Callum and Lina were high school sweethearts planning their future after graduation when Callum told Lina the night of graduation that he was leaving the next morning to go to Harvard law school. Lina feels betrayed that Callum didn’t discuss his decision with her and was leaving her behind. Fifteen years later, Callum is a successful lawyer and a single father. Lina is a model living in New York City. Lina comes home for the holidays and a high school reunion. Callum goes to the reunion is hopes he can get Lina to forgive him. Things turn ugly when Callum tries to talk to Lina. Lina leaves the reunion angry and tragedy strikes. Not sure I really liked the way Callum decided to help Lina. I think Callum’s heart was in the right place, but I think he went about helping Lina in the wrong way. Will Lina be able to forgive Callum when she learns the truth? Can Lina forgive herself when she learns what happened the night of the reunion? Can Callum show Lina he isn’t the same man that broke her heart 15 years ago? Can Lina get past her anger and broken heart? Can Callum and Lina realize that they belong together? I liked My Holiday Reunion by Weston Parker. My Holiday Reunion is a great book full of emotion and drama. I would definitely recommend getting My Holiday Reunion by Weston Parker. I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest review.
This is an emotionally charged second chance story between Callum and Lina. High school sweethearts who were broken apart when withholding info and one sided decisions were made. Later in life, the same happens again. Callum, I both wanted to dislike and loved at the same time. His actions were misguided but with the right intention. Lina has just had rugs pulled out from under her so many times! Omg I could go on and on. A definite recommendation. Bust out the Kleenex. I received this book for s voluntary, completely honest and non incentivized review.
This one was not really my favorite from this author. Callum was really hard to like. He was selfish and I don’t think he actually redeemed himself in the end. I also wasn’t really a fan of Lina and her not being able to get over Callum even after 15 years. In my opinion, she deserved someone better.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
My Hoiday Reunion was an emotional story with a whole lot of ups and downs. This is a dramatic read with lies, secrets and definitely love of family. There are times you just don’t like some characters and there are the characters you absolutely love. This is a story of young love that just ends leaving one person very heartbroken and lost. Many years later these characters come face to face and this is where the story will take you on one heck of a ride. There is some really great twists and turns that will hook you and keep you turning the page to see what drama is waiting around the bend. I recommend this book it will definitely tug on your heartstrings and have you pulling your hair out at the same time. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
Lovely holiday second chance romance. Another good read by Weston Parker. Lots of twists and turns. I read an arc copy of this book
I loved this book. I laughed and cried throughout and with the HEA at the end it was perfect. This is a wonderful look at how high school romance can turn into an adult story. They always say that love will find a way and in this case it does. I would love to see more stories from some of the side characters.
ONE EXTREMELY INTENSE READ!!!
Whoa baby, this little tyke is running deep. This is one exciting, engaging, action packed, hard hitting, pulse racing, heart pounding, page turning bombshell that grabs your attention from the start and holds it right until the last word. All the twists and turns, jagged edges, ins and outs, along with a few unpredictable surprises make for one nailbiting experience. With all the drama, deceit, betrayal, lies, heartache, sadness and suspense at every turn. This is one read you won’t be putting down until the very end. The characters are written with such realism it really pulls this bad boy together beautifully. The two main characters really have a rollercoaster relationship with a plethora of emotions that you feel right along with the characters. The scenes are so vividly descriptive it’s easy to picture each scenario as they play off one another perfectly. A strong storyline with an incredible plot make this little guy a must read. Weston did an amazing job bringing this read to life. Fantastic job Weston, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
I enjoyed to see book, had a little bit of a twist on second chances.
What a reunion
Lina, a model, encounters her high school boyfriend, the man who broke her heart and dreams, at their 15 year high school reunion. Callum, said boyfriend, has pursued his dream to be a lawyer and along the way gained and lost a wife who blessed him with a son. Their story takes a huge turn during the reunion that has lasting consequences for all parties. As they continue, Cal tries to grab a second chance, Lina struggles with the past and present and Cal’s lies and omissions could get in the way yet again.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
This is a really good story. It’s more than a second chance romance. The story is well written with likable characters. Although I liked Callum I had a hard time with his abrupt departure in the beginning of the story and some of his decisions. I did like Lina and though the two made a good couple. Of course, I liked the secondary characters. This is a well written story that definitely keeps you captivated.
Outstanding…one of Weston Parkers best books yet! The story of Lina and Callum was beautiful from beginning to end. I’m not going to give a spoiler on this, however, this is a must-read book.

EXPLOSIVE!I LOVED IT
Voluntarily review
Oh my goodness! Wrap it up and put a bow on it! One heck of an emotional rollercoaster ride that will have your head shaking, arms flailing wanting to reach in and release the pain and anger you feel bleeding through the words as the engrossing storyline takes you on a non-stop bundle of twists that keep you on edge pounding fiercely away thru the pages needing answers that you can’t digest the words fast enough because in my book nobody will ever make it past 3 strikes to destroy me and they would be extremely lucky to make it that far! Nail-biting suspense, hair trigger twists that irk the heck out of me, betrayal, angst, intense, edgy, a myriad of emotions and hard to put down! An amazing must read!
