Caroling, coffee, and complications. A broken hero and the sweet girl next door…
She just might be the miracle this soldier deserves. But can she fulfill her dreams without losing the guarded military man who’s captured her heart?
Emilie Fielding longs for love — and to own her own business someday. Despite fears that she’s wasting time waiting for her prince to come while working for her Scrooge-like boss, the optimistic barista tackles Christmas preparations for the coffee shop with unbridled holiday joy. And when she stumbles hanging mistletoe, she surprises herself as well as her handsome rescuer with a merry peck on his cheek, right before he’s cajoled into lending her a hand.
Garrett Banks yearns to belong. Learning to live with lingering injuries and struggling with feelings of vulnerability, the Marine discovers a humorous group of senior busybodies and the vibrant young woman who catches his attention while visiting a treasured small town. Tasked with helping to check off her yuletide to-do list, his honed defenses and well-constructed walls begin to crumble.
Even though Emilie’s innate connection with him deepens, she wrestles with the growing need to leave her beloved home to secure her future. And while Garrett hopes to stay by her side, he fears the only way forward is to let her go.
Do they have the courage this Christmas to unwrap the gift of forever?

My Thoughts
This was my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it. I believe this is part of a multi author series so are all stand alones. I thought it was a sweet story and was a pretty quick read. A perfect cozy read for a cold chilly night. Both Garrett and Emilie were great characters and the way their friendship blossomed through the story was well done. You will definitely enjoy the storyline and I absolutely loved the meddlesome senior citizens in the cafe. They definitely make you giggle with their shenanigans to get both of them together.
Overall I thought this was a sweet story and if you are looking for a quick read this Christmas season I recommend grabbing this one.
