'Tis the
season for love . . .
Sophie DiRossi loved growing up in
Harmony Harbor. But after fleeing in disgrace many years ago, it is the last place
she wants to be. Left homeless by a fire, she's forced to go back to the small
coastal town that harbors a million secrets, including her own. Sophie sees
this secret reflected every day in her daughter's blue eyes-and she must keep
it hidden from the only man she has ever loved.
Sophie's return is a shock for
everyone . . . especially Liam Gallagher. The firefighter had some serious
feelings for Sophie-and seeing her again sparks a desire so fierce it takes his
breath away. Now Liam will do whatever it takes to show Sophie that they
deserve a second chance at love, even if everything they've concealed threatens
to keep them apart. In this special town at this special time of the year,
Sophie and Liam can only hope for a little holiday magic . . .
What a fun and festive way to start off the Christmas season! Whether you are a fan of Debbie Mason's Christmas, Colorado series or a new reader, you will love the first book her new series, MISTLETOE COTTAGE. Filled with romance, boisterous family members, laughs, secrets, misunderstandings and holiday magic.
Sophie DiRossi, a young single mother and her young daughter must return to her hometown of Harmony Harbor after a fire that leaves them homeless. Her daughter Mia has stopped talking, so Sophie swallows her pride and comes home to ask her family for help while she gets back on her feet. Of course, they are only too happy to have them home.
Soon, Sophie comes face to face with an old friend, Liam. Liam always crushed on Sophie, but she dated his cousin. And boy, there is some chemistry flying here between them now, but Sophie is set on getting a new job so she can take care of her daughter. Fate has a sense of humor and her new job is working for Liam's relatives, some who have a little feud with one of Sophie's relatives.
I don't want to let to much out, you have to read it yourself. This story is filled with charm times three, especially with a determined six year old who falls in love with Mistletoe Cottage and wants to have a real home and real Christmas. The story is a fun ride full of twists that will have you rooting for Sophie and Liam. I couldn't put this book down and am counting the days until the next book in the series. Do yourself a favor and grab a copy!
Liam held up his hands and took a
step back with a wary expression on his handsome face. “Maybe you
better tell me what the problem is, Soph.”
“Okay, but don’t laugh. I had to
borrow clothes from Rosa for the interview, and they’re too big. So
we pinned the skirt . . .”
“Gotcha. How about you take off
your coat and—” he began as he moved behind her.
“I can’t. My skirt will fall off
if I do.” She heard what sounded like a snort of laughter and
looked over her shoulder. “You’re not supposed to laugh.”
He crouched behind her, his eyes
glinting with amusement. “I’m not. I’ll just”—he lifted the
hem of her coat and disappeared beneath it— “Ah, it’s a little
dark under here. Whereabouts is the pin?”
That was an easy enough question to
answer. She knew exactly where the pin was—it was stabbing her left
butt cheek. But with Liam’s hand resting on her hip while the other
one skimmed over the back of her skirt, she was having a difficult
time staying focused. All she could think was that Liam Gallagher,
who’d once played the starring role in her teenage fantasies, was
touching her butt. “Where it shouldn’t be,” she finally managed
to say, reaching back to show him. She ended up hitting him on the
head instead.
“Hey, I’m doing my best not to
touch your ass, but it’s kind of—”
“May I ask what you’re doing,
Master Liam?”
Jasper was like a wraith. You never
saw or heard him coming. He’d appear out of nowhere. Sophie wanted
a do-over. This day was turning out worse than she’d expected. And
that had been pretty bad.
Liam’s messy, dark hair appeared
from under her coat. “Maybe you could—
Was he seriously going to ask for
Jasper’s help? Sophie drew her foot back and lightly kicked Liam in
the shin. He raised his eyes to hers, lifting an eyebrow. She gave
him a do-it-and-die look.
He grinned. “All good here,
Jeeves. My hammer got caught in the hem of Sophie’s coat.”
“In future, I’d suggest you be
more careful with your
tools around Miss
DiRossi, Master Liam,” the older man said, spearing Sophie with his
ice-blue gaze. His mouth pressed in a thin line of disapproval as he
walked away.
