About the book:
It's Christmas in Copper Ridge, and love is waiting to be unwrapped…
Falling for a bad boy once is forgivable. Twice would just be foolish. When Sabrina Leighton first offered her teenage innocence to gorgeous, tattooed Liam Donnelly, he humiliated her, then left town. The hurt still lingers. But so does that crazy spark. And if they have to work together to set up her family winery's new tasting room by Christmas, why not work him out of her system with a sizzling affair?
Thirteen years ago, Liam's boss at the winery offered him a bribe—leave his teenage daughter alone and get a full ride at college. Convinced he wasn't good enough for Sabrina, Liam took it. Now he's back, as wealthy as sin and with a heart as cold as the Oregon snow. Or so he keeps telling himself. Because the girl he vowed to stay away from has become the only woman he needs, and this Christmas could be just the beginning of a lifetime together…
My Thoughts:
Sabrina fell hard for Liam when she was just seventeen. They formed a friendship while he was working
at her family’s winery, and she never felt closer to anyone. Confiding her
hopes and dreams all the while her crush grew and burned a permanent mark on
her heart. Unfortunately, when Sabrina
offered herself up to Liam, he rejected and humiliated her. Worse, he accepted her father’s payoff to
stay away and she hasn’t laid eyes on him in thirteen years. That is until he shows up back in town and they
must work together setting up the new winery tasting room. Let’s just say
things are a little chilly going forward.
The intensity of feelings Sabrina felt for Liam has been
unmatched by any other man in the years that’ve passed, but there’s anger and
hurt there, too. There is a reason, or
many, why Liam left when he did. I won’t
go into it, but it made sense, and once Sabrina got the whole story, understanding
started to replace the anger she felt.
I just loved this second-chance romance so much! Yes, there
was hurt and anger, but that’s because the feelings between Liam and Sabrina
were intense and passionate. It was pleasure seeing Liam and Sabrina fall all
over again! The setting, a small
picturesque town lit up by Christmas lights, dusted with snow felt perfect for
this time of year!
Sounds like a perfect read for my Christmas vacation. :) Thanks, Rachel!
ReplyDeleteHope you love it, Lark! It is a perfect holiday read! :)
DeleteI've seen a couple of reviews for this lately and everyone seems to like it, glad you did as well!
ReplyDeleteYeah, sounds like they had to work through a lot of anger, disappointment, and misunderstanding. If balanced right, I really enjoy this sort of second chances romance. Looks like its a good one.
ReplyDeleteI agree, there needs to be the right balance because too much anger or bitterness would ruin a romance for me. :)
