A Mom for Christmas

it was a great story and so true to life i think. grandma was too protective of the daughter. the husband loved her and didn't love her all at the same time. it takes the cousin and the mothers, mother to straight them all out. The little girl just wanted a mom just like everybody else had.

Ski patroller Aidan Wilde hates Christmas ever since his wife Charmaine fell to her death off Whistler Mountain six years ago when their baby Emily was almost a newborn. Most of the locals including Charmaine's mother believe that Aidan caused his wife's death. Still numb and mourning Aidan has not tried to defend himself. Nicola Bond, who loved Aidan, but hid her feelings as he was married to her cousin, visits her Aunt June and her second cousin Emily. Nicola's presence seems to have brought life into the sad Wilde home. As Aidan falls in love with his deceased wife's cousin, Nicola begins to hear the rumors about the man she still loves. She wonders if he could have committed the act that people blame him for. Needing to know the truth, she begins investigating before she totally gives away her heart. This is an engaging second chance at love romantic suspense that keeps the audience like the heroine wondering throughout the novel if Aidan actually caused his wife's death. That plot enhanced by wonderful twists and a strong cast is what makes this solid tale. Nicola is a delightful person who needs to know the truth though she thinks it may be too late to save her heart. Fans will feel for the shy Emily caught between her father and her maternal grandmother yet in that reticent way displays a "yippee" attitude. Aidan rounds out the strong lead cast as he suffers in silence knowing what everyone thinks. A MOM FOR CHRISTMAS is a fine Yuletide romance.
