CALHOUNE, BELLE

ALASKAN CHRISTMAS REDEMPTION

Before he gives his heart...he'll have to forgive himself.

Returning to Owl Creek after years away, Braden North's determined to help his best friend, Piper Miller, save her failing diner. But as they work to revitalize her business, Braden's convinced he must hide the truth about a tragedy from their past...or risk losing Piper for good. If he can find the courage, might telling her everything make this Christmas a time for healing and forgiveness?

A Home to Owl Creek Tale

My Review:

Eeeeepppp -- Christmas in Alaska, yes please! Only, I'm hoping reindeer pizza actually means cute little pizzas that come in the shape of a reindeer rather than...well...you know. :-( Because Santa might have something to say about that.

Belle Calhoune has created such a vibrant community in Owl Creek. This is the third book in the series and reads absolutely fine as a standalone but I'm now dreaming up future stories that take place here and hoping that the author is too. I mean, you really can't go wrong with a town that features a chocolate factory, right?

A friends-to-more romance with plenty of bumps in the road made me a captivated reader. Love the way the author tortures her readers with hints of Braden's secret and then tortures us some more once its revealed. 

Calhoune begins her novel with this scripture from John: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27) which really encompasses the story. Both Braden and Piper's actions come from a place of fear and it isn't until everything is out in the open that they are able to find that special peace...and a way to a happily ever after together.

Angsty romance with a touch of a holiday cheer makes this the perfect Christmas love story.
