Publisher Description
Christmas in Twilight, Texas, is all merriment and mistletoe. The Cookie Club is whipping up their most festive sweets, the townspeople are scrambling to get their holiday shopping done, and Joe—a hometown guy with a restless heart—is dreaming about the woman he wants to kiss most . . .
. . . And who happens to be staying at his sister's place over the holidays, while Joe's sister is away. But Joe isn't quite sure he wants to be a living Christmas present to runaway law student Gabi Preston.
Joe thinks the sassy sweetheart he nicknames "Trouble" won't inconvenience anything but his healthy sex drive. But when he discovers the reasons Gabi escaped from her life, he aches to give her everything she's never had. As the magic of the season draws them together, the gift of love is the only one worth giving…
Customer Reviews
Wonderful story and very touching
We are back in Twilight, TX. The quaint and friendly town that seems to heal the body and soul and gives people hope.
The main characters are Gabi, a young woman that has swapped homes for 3 weeks with Katie, from Twilight.
Joe, is back home in Twilight , taking care of the Christmas tree business owned by his Grandfather, who has had a stroke and needs help. When these two meet there is instant chemistry.
While other reviewers will write about the story, I will take a different route. The story is more about family dynamics. Sometimes parents, in their grief ,put pressure on their children . If that child is passive and kind, and only wants to please the parents, the soul and spirit of that child can be crushed or left unattended. That is the case of Gabi.
Joe , is kind and a good man , but due to ADHD, was a trouble maker as a kid and is still sometimes labeled as “different”. They will have to overcome personal and external obstacles but will be able to grown and shine at the end. This is another wonderful story by Ms Wilde. And if like me, you haven’t read all the books of the series, you’ll want to grab them and transport yourself to Twilight.
The Perfect Christmas Read
A Christmas story that you will not be able to put down. Shows how important family and friends are in the holiday season. I have always loved visiting Twilight and this is no exception.
Gabi, a lost soul has come to Twilight for three weeks to have the perfect holiday season. She did not except to find her true love, Joe. Joe is running his grandfather's Christmas tree lot, he welcomes Gabi into his world. Even that is not perfect when his exwife and daughter show up expectantly.
Loved all of the traditions of the town! A perfect town in a snow globe. Living out our dream!
I highly recommend this book to all Christmas lovers!
