This Second chance novella written by Nora Roberts was fantastic! Perfect for the Christmas spirit!

Jack is coming back to his home town of Quiet Valley a decade after he left it. His heart was broken once but he’s ready to return to his roots. It doesn't matter that the woman he once loved is married to another man now.

Faith is a single parent after her divorce not too soon after her daughter was born. She takes care of Clara the best way she can. Faith's business is doing well and she likes the small-town living. She is content with her life. At times, she feels lonely and wishes she had a partner to share her life with. She has only loved one man but he chose to leave her behind and she has made peace with it until she finds him outside her doorstep.

Now, Jack is back and he wants to rekindle their romance but she is not alone. She has a daughter to think about. Clara comes first. How can they make it work?

A sweet and magical story. It left me with a big smile on my face.

Cliffhanger: No

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Book

This is such a great book, that I look forward to going back and reading these stories again like some that I already have, and I am impatient to read the rest of Nora Roberts' stories right now. Hot, Hot, Hot, love scenes, a well written, creative and intriguing story about family plus inventive, vivid characters, all on top of seriously wonderful love and romance. Each story is about one key person, usual in a family, or close group of friends, they are linked through intricate, messy links and it's almost like a movie you get the privilege of witnessing about these people's powerful, emotional, and often times painful journey towards falling in love. Roberts is one of my most favorite author's, and she doesn't disappoint in this series. Her unique style and classy, yet moving love scenes, paint a beautiful picture that leaves a person longing for something similar for themselves. All of that is combined into this fantastic series and make this book a "must-have"!!!! I didn't want to set it down....seriously!! Lol I was nodding off over my book on several different occasions. Worth the price and more to have a Nora Roberts book in your library collection!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Oldie but goodie

Sweet Christmas story. Very dated with a "Five and Dime" store, porcelain dolls, typewriter, etc but that can add charm if you let it. Enjoy.

Update to previous review: I read almost a book a day & most of them disappear from memory almost instantly. I read this in 2014 & again today in 2018 because I remembered it fondly all that time. Many of Nora's earlier works are extremely memorable. My all time favorite Christmas story is her "A Will & a Way." She is a wonderfully talented author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short and very sweet, but the abrupt ending left little to be desired.
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2016

I was so suprised to see the Christmas receipes in the beginning of this book. They sounded good, so I'll probably try them sometime soon. The story itself was short but very sweet, but I thought the ending was a little too abrupt. I loved Clara right from the start, and would have loved to see how she reacted to the unexpected news that would be awaiting her on Christmas morning. And even though we got our HEA ending, the aburt ending left me with several unanswered questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vorhersehbare aber sehr liebevolle Kurzgeschichte
Reviewed in Germany on December 15, 2014
Verified Purchase
Hier handelt es sich wirklich nur um eine Kurzgeschichte - leider. Wie immer sind die Charaktere bei Nora Roberts sehr liebenswert und wirken nicht übertrieben. Jason, Faith und die kleine Clara sind mir wirklich sofort ans Herz gewachsen. Angenehm war auch, dass es dieses Mal einfach um die Liebe zum Weihnachtsfest ging und nicht erst ein Weihnachtshasser überzeugt werden musste. Die Geschichte war wirklich kurzweilig und ich habe sie in wenigen Stunden verschlungen, großartig für einen gemütlichen Sonntag auf dem Sofa!
