Gain Access To Kids By Christmas Depicted By Janice Kay Johnson Disseminated As Pamphlet

très belle histoire émouvante et bien construite, Un beau moment à découvrir sous un plaid,plus
Une fin un poil convenue qui lui enlève,mais j'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé.
I've enjoyed allbooks in this series but I would have loved to see this one have an epilogue to the siblings story.
Sayyears into the future and see how thefamilies were doing, Sophia at college perhaps and Michael and Jack as teenagers, Plus any other children that had been born in the intervening years and how the businesses were doing.
I just felt an epilogue would have rounded the story off nicely, Adopting one child is challenge enough for a single woman like Suzanne Chauvin, Now that she has the chance to adopt a brother and sister who shouldn't be separated, she has to keep her life as simple as possible.


Which means she doesn't have time for an added complication in the form of her neighbor Tom Stefanec.
Tom knows too much about Suzanne's pastand she knows nothing about his, Pas assez moderne et franchement complaisant,
L'histoire raconte un parcours de femme qui reprend confiance en elle bafouée par un mari jaloux et violent dont elle a divorcé et qui a besoin d'offrir aux autres ce qui lui a fait défaut la chaleur d'un foyer stable durant son enfance.
C'est aussi l'histoire d'une famille à définir et d'une nouvelle vie à écrire à deux, à trois, à quatre, C'est simple, bourré de bons sentiments et d'une grande sensibilité, . . mais pour moi trop planplan et mièvre,. This was cute but nothing unusual to make it stand out from others, The two kids are what saved this book, Johnson usually does a much better job developing her characters and the romance, This one was completely dry, The adults both overacted like they were in junior high, It was pretty lame as far as

romances go, c'est mignon, l'histoire d'amour et l'adoption des enfants prennent autant de place, ce qui est un plus, .for Kids by Christmas, but I bumped up the actual star rating above,

Thoughts and Plot

This is actually a reread for me, I lent my original copy to a friend and never got it back, Finally tracked down a used copy since I own the whole series regarding the Chauvin clan and it was silly to have a missing book.


Suzanne Chauvin is ayear old divorced woman looking to adopt a kid even though she recently just opened her own store Knit Two Drop in.
She wants to be a mother and since she hasn't found anyone to share her life with since she divorced her abusive husband she decided to just go ahead and adopt as a single mom.
As a kid who was adopted by family who never really wanted her after her parent's died, she feels like she could provide a understanding and loving home to a child in need of a mother.


What she gets instead ischildren, a brother and a sister, who she believes should not be split up as her and her two siblings where.
Sophia is, going onin both maturity and looks, Her young brother Jack isI think, small for his age and shy after the mother of his mother and being mistreated by one of his foster parents.
Taking these two children in is a bit more to handle than Suzanne though, but she is determined to make it work.
Fortunately she has a notquitehandsome, exmilitary, built, neat freak next door neighbor to help!

Tom Stefanec is aI think year old military veteran who was discharged after shrapnel tore up his knee.
He's lived next to Suzanne for overyears, witnessing the verbal abuse she suffered at the hands of her exhusband, silently cheering her on as she tossed his stuff on the driveway, and realizing that she might be afraid of him not true, more like embarrassed when she continually avoids connect with him as the years roll by.
But when the chance to adopt two children arrives, Suzanne tentatively reaches out to him and friendship rapidly blooms, and then blooms into mutual attraction.


The only issues I really had were with how unrealistically easy the kids fell into living with Suzanne, with only one major incident with Sophia and small printing mistakes, such and "Uncle" being capitalized and "aunt" not being capitalized in the same sentence and throughout the book.
Nothing huge. I still like the story, It's sweet and not over the top, Two regular people falling in love at faster than normal speeds, I'll take it! In the Christmas with kids mood, this one had some decent emotional baggage with it that made it better than most.
But stopped a step to short with regards to that baggage, I did like the whole dynamic of a single divorcee deciding she wanted to be a mom, She has some experience with children being split up She was separated from her own siblings, so it's no surprise when she adopts.
Ayear old that's way to mature for her own good and a scaredyear old,

Wonderful patience in bringing this family together and with the help of helpful neighbor a smoother transition than expected.
This is where it could have added a bit more angst which would have put it over the top.
But it fell short there,
