What a great novel about a mother’s sacrifice!

The first book I’ve read by this author, I was not disappointed!
As you read this book, you wonder how it will end. Will the mother be right or will there be a surprise ending? You’ll have to read the book to find out. What a bonus with the added recipes. They come from an Italian wife. Being married to an Italian and I love to cook, I can’t wait to try some of these dishes and pass them to our children. My mother-in-law did not cook, so we do not have the handed down, generation after generation recipes. Maybe a tradition will be started with my family, and I will pass these on? I just ordered book two to see how the story continues and ends. I can’t wait to start reading it!

Great Reads

This was such a surprising read. I was expecting a suspenseful romance but it really was a thrill ride full of unexpected twists. The characters are unique and nothing is as it seems. Even the secondary characters grab your attention. As the story unfolded I truly loved that there were stakes that went so far beyond will they won’t fall in love. That said the romance was perfect. There was a bond there that surpassed the natural and really Mark was just the perfect man. I look forward to reading more from this author soon. If you want a romance that is high in suspense yet still manages that sweet romantic feeling this is your book.

MikiHope

I just can’t recommend this series enough especially if you enjoy clean romance, time travel, and strong female characters!

All I can say is WOW–what an epic story this one is!! I have read a couple of other Time After Time novels by Carol Ann Kauffman and truly loved them all–I am waiting to get to read the rest of this series. I read somewhere that this one is chronologically the first–and I kind of agree. There is no doubt in my mind that these are all stand-alone alone and I am living proof that they can be read in any order!!

These two just can’t seem to get it together–even though they are soul mates- until the very very end–and even then there is a zinger.

“Having been done with [her husband] and comfortably surrounded by a loving family, Betsy is having none of his nonsense. Enter mystery man, Patrick. What will happen next?” – I Need Christmas (An Oakville Family Christmas Book 2) by Carol Ann Kauffman

 

After a depressing year of sadness, loneliness, and self-doubt, successful civil engineer and former All-American basketball star Elizabeth (Betsy) Curry returns home to Oakville, Ohio, for the Christmas holidays a depressed and broken woman. Reeling from her bitter divorce from the handsome, charming, but morally decrepit Tommy DeMalio, her college sweetheart and first big love, who left her after two years of what she thought was a good marriage for a stripper he met at an office bachelor party for her co-worker, Betsy feels lost and empty. Not exactly anticipating the happy holiday with her family and their multitude of joyful Christmas customs and long-time storybook-like traditions, she knows she needs them in order to heal.
Once comfortable at home and feeling somewhat better about herself, Tommy shows up and claims he wants a reconciliation, throwing her back into the self-destructive cycle of doubt, hostility, and suspicion she is trying so hard to escape.
She discovers her father has set her up with his protégé at work, the tall, handsome, athletic red-haired Patrick, who, try as hard as she can, she can’t find a single thing she doesn’t like about him.
So, what’s the problem? Betsy feels it’s too soon for her to love again. How can she love anyone again when she doesn’t like herself or what she’s become since the break-up? Also, she fears she will hurt the sweet, gentle Patrick.
Will the love, joy, and goodwill of the holiday season coupled with the many long-time holiday customs and Curry family traditions help Betsy to find herself again? Will she be strong enough to lift herself out of her self-induced prison so that she can take another chance on love?

Jeffrey Wirth

Another nice fireside read

“I Need Christmas” is book two of the “Oakville Family Christmas” anthology and keeps to the spirit of the series nicely. Being surrounded by family isn’t always the picture of a Norma Rockwell painting. Far too often it’s the exact opposite. But in Betsy Curry’s case, it could not be more the reality. Betsy is recovering from a marriage that was at best a nice arrangement for her husband, who by the way, abruptly returns wanting another try (with ulterior motives). Having been done with him and comfortably surrounded by a loving family, Betsy is having none of his nonsense. Enter mystery man, Patrick. What will happen next? Find out by getting your copy of “I Need Christmas.”

Edge of your seat, holiday adventure! Page turner for sure!

What a perfect holiday read! Kauffman has created a wonderful sequel to Madison’s Christmas with this book. It’s got just enough of everything that it’s one you won’t want to put down. Pick this up on your holiday break and prepare yourself to get swept into the adventures of Madison and Kyle! It’s got action, adventure, laughs, and murder. You might not expect these things to go hand in hand, but It’s simply one of the best holiday stories I’ve read, and I really adore the character of Madison. She’s entertaining, driven, smart, and engaging, and this story kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time! It’s just got enough action to keep you reading, but it’s not too dark that you won’t enjoy this book. Fans of action and thrillers you need to grab this book! I hope we see some other stories with Madison in the future because that girl has a knack for getting into and out of trouble!

Grab your copy of this book today! You won’t regret it!
