Can she help Luke see life differently through her faith
This was the last story I read in this series, and I loved each one of them.
Most of them was my first time reading something from that author, Each of these authors are definitely on my radar now, Super romantic short story! Loved the characters and the story, Tugs at your heartstrings for sure! Might have shed a tear or two as well, I always finish a story by this author wanting more, . .
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book, This was a cute holiday novella, I love C. P. Smith and she can write an alpha like nobody's business, I honestly wish this story was a little longer, but I really enjoyed it, Read it in aboutminutes, to give you an idea of how quick it is: I absolutely adore everything that CP Smith writes I would read her grocery list if shed let me and this short romantic holiday story has been a favorite of mine so far!
Lucas Deacon Knight.
. I mean come on. . with a name like that how can he not be a broody alpha hero! I fell in love with him from the start.
Possessive, protective, sweet and a little damaged, . he was perfect.
Anna Stubs was so freaking sweet, I loved her inner thoughts and her personality, Simple, sweet, genuine. . angel. The chemistry between these two was great!
If you are in the mood for a short and sweet holiday story, . this is it!! Fantastic Christmas novella, Luke and Anna had a bumpy start but their attraction overcame it all, My only complaint is I wished it was longer!!!!!! Loved this one! Both Luke and Anna have a hard Christmas until destiny stepped in.
It was a good short Christmas read This short read brings front and center the real meaning of Christmas, family, The gifts that Luke and Anna give each other are nothing that can be bought in a store, Both characters have lost people near and dear to them and struggle through the holidays alone for the most part, Anna has her brother but when a crisis looms, Luke someone she's only met briefly and in less than ideal circumstances, steps up to the plate and supports her.
No one does instalove better than CP Smith, I loved the characters in this novella, they are well developed despite the length of the book, It a short sweet read, with a bit of sexy spice, Well worth the time away from the holiday hustle and bustle, Wonderful quick Christmas read! Luke amp Anna have a fun story that still tugs at your heart, Watching this "Scrooge" regain his heart amp faith while falling in love was a sweet ride, : My only complaint is the story is much too short!! I love the theme of faith and healing, It was passionate without being over the top, Great story and characters I want more of, Even has a little twist with some humor thrown in, Good stuff!!
This is part of a collaborated collection by ten authors themed around a scrooged Christmas, I lucked out and got a couple of them but not all, The ones I did get are wonderful, . . but too dang short! ,“Duck slippers are the way to go” Stars
Luke: A Scrooged Christmas, is a sweet, lovely holiday romance I gobbled in one sitting.
Luke has been struggling with the holiday season since he lost his little nephew, The guilt he carries led him to push everyone away, That is until Anna, the image of an angel crashes, literally, into his truck,
Anna is coming back home after getting her degree, Itll be the first time without any of her parents there, and the prospect of spending the holidays alone is not a happy one.
Fate has other ideas, though, as Anna and Luke keep crossing path every time they turn around, Their attraction is undeniable, but a couple of things will stand in their way,
I really enjoyed both Luke and Anna, although as this was a short story we didnt get to know a lot about them.
Anna was sweet, caring and considerate, Luke was bossy, honorable and he loved deeply, I loved how Annas faith helped Luke overcome his issues, though I felt it worked a little too fast,
Luke: A Scrooged Christmas, is short as it is sweet, An instalove romance with an alpha handyman hunk, a strong and loving heroine and enough Christmas Miracles to go around, I just wished it was longer!
I won't rate it cause I couldn't get into it for some reason, Love a Christmas book!!
What a lovely, heart warming Christmas novella!, I don't know how I missed this one but I loved every word!
Luke and Anna literally bump into each other and he so bad tempered.
He is suffering, the loss of his nephew four years prior ripped the soul from him, But then he meets Anna, and she gives him something he hasn't felt in a long time, hope, And when she needs support, he is there for her, Heart melted!! I adore a CP Smith hero, She knows alpha, and she writes it well, This is sweet touching story of two people, both alone, being there for each other when they needed it most,
Luke was a loner and broody after experiencing a devastating loss, He had tremendous guilt on his shoulders and didn't feel he deserved any measure of happiness, When he first sees Anna, it just adds to his bad mood because he thinks she is unattainable, A broken furnace brings them face to face, but another tragedy brings them as close as two people could ever be,
Anna was a spunky and sweet heroine, Recently back in her hometown for the holidays, she longs to spend some time with her brother, When he has to leave town, she is alone and feeling sorry for herself, She can't help but think of the sexy stranger who she has spotted a couple times, She is at a loss to find him, until he is delivered to her on a silver platter by way of a broken furnace.
no cheating
no ow drama whatsoever
om drama her brothers band mate likes her but causes no relationship angst for the couple at all
no pushing away
no abuse of any nature

short and cute epilogue one year out This was just ok.
At least I got an epilogue,
Celibate hero and heroine,
Some OM drama.
Safe.
What I didn't like so much was the heroine, after her brother was almost on his deathbed, she slept with the hero, I guess her priorities are very different from mine because I wouldn't have sex with someone while my brother is almost dying.
Lol
Yes I know it's fiction and all,
I also think she kinda acted a bit pathetic, Now this is just my opinion, "It's Like Destiny" Stars!
Quick little Christmas novella that will pull at your heart strings, believe in destiny, Christmas miracles, and the power of love at first sight.
This novella is less thanpages so I'm not going to say to much, but, I will say, this is one of those feel good reads that will have you sighing in contentment after reading the small but perfect epilogue.

Short holiday story
This was pretty good, Not sure I'd call Luke a scrooge though, He's just a grieving uncle who blames himself for his nephew's death,
My first ever C, P. Smith book and I loved it! It's a beautiful christmas story,
The story is about Luke and Anna,
They both had lost someone they loved family members and there's guilt and grieving, They were lonely and they met at the right time, They healed each other and learned to forgive and to move forward,
It was short but I felt so much emotions with these two, They deserved their happy ever after,
It also has a lovely epilogue,
SAFETY:
CP Smith is the expert of writing Alpha males and the quirky yet lovable women who bring them to their knees.
She is the only author that makes me fall
in love with Love over and over again, It's always in the journey, that's not always pretty and challenging more often than not, It's in the eyes where the characters hearts shine through even after a tragedy,
This story pulled at my heartstrings and I'm sure it will pull at yours too, Miracles happen everyday we just have to open our hearts to experience them, I highly recommend this to all my book friends, Very forgettable
I knew right from the get go that I wasn't going to love this book, Thank goodness it was short because I may have had to put it I my Did Not Finish shelf, The only thing that would make this better is if it were a full length novel, For a novella though, it packed a punch, This author always puts so much emotions into her writing that you feel like you're living it yourself, and this one doesn't disappoint.
