You Make It Feel Like Christmas

 

I have read several books by Toni Shiloh.  She writes about real characters with real world problems and brings reasonable solutions to the issues.  

In her newest offering, she has a plethora of characters who each fill a role in this story.  She has a self-centered narcissist, a victim of the sister's machinations, stalwart brothers who protect their sisters from the world at large; then there are the parents who push their children to fit into molds the children didn't choose for themselves.  

Angel is marrying Starr's ex-boyfriend.  The night he met Angel, he broke up with Starr and went directly to Angel's hotel room to ask her out.  

Starr is going home for Thanksgiving partially because she lost her job and partially because Angel wants her there to help with wedding preparations.  When their brother, Gabe, introduces Starr to his best friend, things begin to look up for Starr's holidays.  Starr helps Waylon revitalize his mother's Christmas shop so that it begins bringing in a profit.  Waylon's gentleness attracts Starr and she begins to realize that while she has helped Waylon with his dream, she hasn't been living her own dream.  

I love Toni Shiloh's books.  She has a way of putting her words together that draw the readers in and keeps them hooked until they finish the book.  Four Strong Stars
