Jeannie Moon’s writing tells a beautiful story and makes hours pass in what seems like 15 minutes of reading. I knew starting the book that it was short, but that didn’t stop me from wanting more of Jake and Bree’s story. I especially wanted to see Amanda and Marissa get what was coming to them. I can’t believe a grown woman would make a 9 year old little girl cry.
Second chance romance. Christmas. A sexy hockey player who is a great dad. An adorable 9 year old tom-boy. What is not to love about Jeannie Moon’s This Christmas? Nothing that’s what.
Sabrina and Jake had a steamy and romantic time in Holly Point that summer ten years ago. She wanted to keep it from her family, but Jake wanted to be open with them since her brother Ryan is his best friend.
Unfortunately Jake had to make a choice when his ex is pregnant, he leaves Sabrina and his heart to do the right thing. By the time he realizes his mistake, the child wasn’t his, and got divorced, he felt Sabrina was better off without him.
Now he’s been traded back to New York and he’s glad to be back, although the memories are haunting him a bit. Little does he know there’s a big surprise waiting for him.
Getting through to Sabrina isn’t easy and Jake is angry that she kept her pregnancy from him. He’s determined to know his child, Charlotte, and win back her mother’s heart.
Emotional with laughter, tears, memories and some sizzle!
Great book.
This is a nice fast-paced holiday read. The best part of the whole story is the daughter’s character. Charlie is engaging and loveable and happily gets what she asks for “this Christmas”.
I really enjoyed this story. It’s a quick read that fills the heart with hope, joy, love of family and a love that never died.
Jake, a professional hockey player was recouping from a game injury and was back in Holly Point to rehab. Jake was at the town hockey rink and seen his friend Ryan in the middle of eager little hockey players soaking in everything he was telling them. Ryan was also the brother of the girl Jake had left behind to marry another woman that said she was having his child. Jake figured that Sabrina would move on, as she was young, and would forget him. The problem was that Jake had found out when the child was a couple of years old, it wasn’t his, and the marriage ended and he always thought of the girl he had loved and left, to honor his responsibility. Would he see her, should he see her, then she walks into the rink and by that time he had many, many more questions and fighting anger too and so much more. The mistakes that were made, and a love that still was there, would it survive a half-pint questions of why? Going on the journey with Jake & Bree, is bittersweet, sweet, heartfelt joy you don’t want to miss and the problems were all due to trying to do what was right.
A Beautiful Love Story

Little did he know he that he left the love his life pregnant. 10 years pass and he back and very surprised he has a little girl who loves hockey as !much as him.

The plot was classic but had a few twists to keep it interesting. I enjoyed the character development through the story of the H and h and the friendship between the five women. Sweet and sexy read.
Great read
A quick, fun, entertaining read with e endearing characters I couldn’t help but like.
This is a very readable book with great characters. The daughter is so sweet
A good read. Finding a daughter he never knew he had, a woman who’s heart he had broken, gives a whole new meaning to coming home.
Enjoyable read.
It is short but a well written story.
Good story…
If you’re looking for a sweet, fast-paced read to get you in the holiday spirit then This Christmas is right up your alley. Jake and Bree get a second chance at love after ten years apart, but their reunion isn’t all sunshine and roses at first. They both have to work to let go of past hurts and move onto a promising future together.
Do not waste your time. This is a story filled with weak, selfish characters. I finally gave up and stopped reading it, something that I seldom do!
Shows that characters can be insecure and question their paths in life.
Great book to read
It was just a cute Christmas story. Easy reading,no steamy bed scenes, just a feel good story
Sweet Christmas story. Liked that the hero figured the “secret baby” for his immediately for a change.
