What a fun, quick read! Absolutely loved it, Three and a half, You'll enjoy spending time with Brice and Aleni for Christmas, The setting is very cozy, which is part of the appeal of this book, but Glaz also has a knack for creating believable characters who are just plain doomed to fall for one another.

As always , a wonderful quick read from White Rose Publishing and the other thing is that this book does get teary as I thought from the cover that it may have been a lighthearted read.
I have to tell you, this story was not only the perfect length, it gave me the perfect mix of emotions, I found myself immediately drawn into the story by the frustration of an overworked nurse and the guy described as "hot" even though he'd nearly frozen to death.
The underlying hints of deeper stories and the connection with servicemen kept me enthralled,
All of that, a preschooler and two spirited huskies! Dogs and kids, Who could pass that up
