Faith failed him.
Ambition drove her.
Serendipity brought them together
They’ve never met, but their paths run in the same direction—home for the holidays.
Yet their reasons for leaving are as different as the reasons they return.
Meeting by chance along a 1400 mile stretch of highway when a snowstorm grinds traffic to a halt, they have no choice but to jointly ride it out.
Exposing a common thread, leading them from the past to the present, it’s through the innocent eyes of a toddler, they discover a future.
This is a Christmas novella in the Portland series but can be read as a standalone. I have not read any of this series but this gave me a taster, so needing to read the other books now!
Matt and Tana are strangers travelling a long journey when strangely they keep meeting up on the way to their destination. Something magical happens in the air that keep bringing these two together.
This was a little of an insta romance which is nothing to be sniffed at, especially at Christmas time when special things can happen. The read was very atmospheric with the road trip and the inclement weather adding to the Christmas theme. This was all about love and family and how family can be a multitude of meanings to all.
I loved that Tana was a bit of a cougar (seven years age gap I recall) but Matt is an all take charge kind of man, it was easy to see how Tana fell for him. Both have some family issues to sort out and I liked that they were both there for each other when drama came knocking at the door to their little love bubble.
A quick and engaging read that put in in the cosy Christmassy mood on a cold and wintery day. Lovely. Just lovely. Four stars.
