home to Key West for Christmas. And there's certainly nothing holly berry and mistletoe about this visit. She's got to bail out her eccentric father, and that means taking on the local law. None other than police captain Reese Burkett, Abby's high-school crush--and the man she's been avoiding for thirteen years. She doesn't know about Reese, but she's never forgotten the night of her graduation, a night that left Abby with bittersweet memories and a secret that changed her life. Yet even Abby can't deny that Reese's behavior has been very good and he doesn't deserve a lump of coal this year. In fact, he has a right to finally know the truth. Besides, seeing him again makes her want to let go of the past and move on to a future...together. Except he'll probably never forgive her.... Merry Christmas? Bah, humbug. A Little Secret But a big surprise.
This is a Christmas romance Key West style! I love Christmas romances, and Key West, so I enjoyed it very much! The setting and events are very true to what Key West is like. I also enjoyed the small, but noticeable paranormal element that was present in this story. The dialogue and characters were likeable and funny too. I enjoyed this story.

Only for her father would Abby Vernay return home to Key West after thirteen years away. Home reminds her of Reese Burkett who broke her heart on graduation day when he took her virginity and left the next day for the military. Reese is home as a police captain so Abby knows they will meet since her father is in jail. As they become reacquainted, Reese wants more while Abby pushes for less. He soon realizes his leaving town has hurt her so now in love he must persuade her to take a chance on him; he will not let her down again ever. This is a fun second chance at love Christmas tale. The strong eccentric secondary cast starting with her father brings Key West to life. Abby is terrific as she refuses to give the man she has loved since he was a teen another shot at her heart because she knows the damage if he leaves. Reese realizes he has a hike as long as the Keys to overcome as he was ignorant to how much he hurt her so he starts off losing even more ground. Cynthia Thomason writes a warm CHRISTMAS IN KEY WEST.
