One Sweet Christmas by Darlene Fredette
4.0

While One Sweet Christmas is short, it tells a complete story in its small number of pages. I thought Jackson and Candice were cute together, and I really enjoyed seeing them get to know each other again ... and of course fall in love all over again. I've said it before - I absolutely love these childhood-friends/second-chance-at-love stories. Add in a little Christmas miracle/Scrooge storyline and I'm hooked.

Although some might find One Sweet Christmas a little cheesy or predictable, that's one of the things I like best about holiday romances. You can get away with being overly sentimental or emotional or sappy - that's the kind of mood I get in at the end of the year (I embrace it whole heartedly) and I'm sure I'm not alone. It's why those Hallmark, made-for-tv Christmas movies are so popular, right? And Fredette's latest is the perfect choice for those who are looking to take just a short break and enjoy a little of that romantic holiday cheer.
