My Review:

I received a free copy through the author in exchange for an honest and unbiased review/opinion.

4 stars — OMG, I loved Rahn and Roman…they were so cute together.  I love sweet characters, and both Rahn and Roman fit that bill.  I just wanted to hug them both, and I LOVED the way they loved each other.

I did NOT expect the storyline at all!  It threw me totally off-guard, though I did guess before it was confirmed, I just wasn’t expecting that particular conflict.  I also thought it was an interesting look at the difficulties Christians can have with their beliefs leading to judgements…and that it dealt with that really well, not making religious people look bad, just flawed…but not without hope to be better.  Without giving away spoilers, I can’t really get into much more.  But I thought that the subject matters it tackled were dealt with fairly well, trying to show the difficulties of reality a bit.

And I loved seeing cameos of all our favourite characters from the series!  They didn’t take over the story, but were there enough to satisfy Barlow sister fans.  I especially loved seeing the Hales again…those are some good parents.

So yeah, I loved this little Christmas novella.  I was one of the fans that wanted to see Rahn get a story, and it was just made better that her beau was Roman.  <3
