GIVEAWAY |
CARMICHAEL, VIRGINIA
SEASON OF JOY
As the holiday season approaches, wealthy CEO Calista Sheffield wants to give instead of receive. So she volunteers at a downtown Denver shelter, never expecting that her own scarred heart will be filled with hope and healing. The mission's director, handsome Grant Monohan, has devoted his life to helping those in need. But his harrowing past—and what he sees every day—makes him wary of Calista. Unless she shares her painful history, he'll never believe they can have a future. But a future with Grant at the shelter is the only Christmas gift Calista truly wants.
My Review:
Seriously good read! Carmichael's writing is tight but packs a punch as she weaves her words into a tapestry of stunning phrases and breathtaking emotion. This has everything a solid romance needs -- a hero and heroine that tug at your heart, a rich plot with a few unexpected twists, one monumental obstacle..wait, make that two...or three...let's just say enough to make Season Of Joy a page-turning frenzy of a read. I read it in one day and loved every second.
