HAPPY HOLIDAYS

A CHRISTMAS FAMILY WISH by Helen Scott Taylor

A Sweet Contemporary Romance Novella

A Christmas Family Wish by Helen Scott Taylor is a wonderful, heart warming novella of love, family and second chances.

The cover defines the story inside, a “wish” wrapped in pretty paper.

A hurricane damages Rachel Carne’s home, bringing an old love, Ian Harper, back into her life.

Her son, Toby, had only his grandfather as a male influence in his life.

He was wary of Ian, until he rescued Toby’s teddy, his best friend, Jimbo, from his demolished bedroom.

The house had meant a new start for Rachel and now it lay in ruins.

Is Ian the knight in shining armor coming to their rescue?

I am falling for him and I think you will too.

Ian takes Rachel and Toby home with him, where they meet Max, his trusty golden retriever.

It doesn’t take long for Rachel and Ian to realize what they had been missing.

We all know where this is going, but the journey is warm and fuzzy.

There is a silver lining to the dark cloud.

The story is predictable, but delightful.

The characters are lovable.

How often have we heard of someone losing everything right before the Christmas holidays and people opening their hearts to those in need?

The human spirit is amazing in its ability to adjust and adapt.

Have you ever experienced it?

He straightened, holding her gaze, a flash of heat in his brown eyes. With a kick of his boot, he snapped the rest of the trunk and the tree went down.

Toby rushed to the tree and examined it with Max.

Rachel crossed her arms. “Very macho, Mr. Harper. If you’re trying to impress me, it’s working.”

(Book Beginnings)

Rachel Carne lay awak, her heart pounding with alarm, unable to sleep for the noise outside. Wind howled around the house, sending things clattering along the street. Rain pelted the windows in a torrential downpour, drumming against the glass.

SYNOPSIS

A heartwarming tale of second chances for Christmas.

When a tree falls on Rachel’s house in a storm, the person who rescues her is Ian, the same man who rejected her declaration of love when she was eighteen. She has banished him from her thoughts for eight years, but all her feelings rush back as he plays the white knight and takes Rachel and her son into his home. The young man she once knew is now a wealthy, successful business owner, and more gorgeous than ever. Life has left them both bruised, but can they put the past behind them and start again?
