Enjoy the following excerpt for Her Wish Before Christmas:
“Are
you the one leaving bloody footprints in the store? Your grandmother’s going to
have a heart attack.” The man stared down at her, holding the door open with
one arm, the lamp base in the other. He rested the plastic appendage against
the doorframe and took a step closer, his face clear in the light of the
workroom.
“Connor?”
“Let
me have a look.” He knelt and grabbed her foot and held on tight when she tried
to tug it back.
“Ouch.”
She pulled her foot away from his prodding.
“Sorry.
Cut’s not too deep. A Band-Aid and some Neosporin is all you need.”
Connor
O’Rourke? The Connor O’Rourke? Twelve
years hadn’t changed him much. Except he
turned into a man. And one fine man at that.
Jesus, did he grow after college? His arms and chest sure had.
Heat
blazed a fire across her cheeks when her roaming gaze met his. Same cocky grin.
Embarrassment couldn’t stop her from comparing this Connor with the then
Connor. His hair was cut shorter, but the rich chestnut color hadn’t dulled. No
hint of gray at the temples, no balding either. So that night of drunken cursing for him to grow fat and ugly didn’t
take. Figures. What’s the use of
gypsy blood if my curses don’t work?
“I
didn’t know you were in town,” she asked, proud she had kept the hysterical out
of her voice.
“I
wasn’t until this week. I’m setting up a practice at the new clinic down the
street.” He stood and helped her up from the floor.
Connor
F’ing O’Rourke back in town and looking too delicious by half. She licked her
lips and swallowed at the sudden dryness in her mouth. The hurt and anger
returned with a swift jab to her heart rivaling the sting of glass in her foot.
The feelings so fresh, like she was eighteen again and waiting for the proposal
that never came. Don’t go there. You’re
over him.
Adri’s Review:
Trying to help her family
after the loss of her grandmother Genny goes back home, but after an incident
when her ex-boyfriend and the love of her life Connor she can’t wait to get
away again.
Connor broke her heart on
Christmas Eve many years before… She thought he was going to ask her to marry
him instead he ends their relationship, but there is more to the story then she
knows. She thought she was over him, that what he’d done all those years before
no longer mattered, but now she can’t be sure that is the case. To complicates
matter, she can’t seem to forget a wish she’d made the day she asked her gypsy
grandmother for her love prediction.
Connor never stopped loving
Genny, but now that they are once again in the same town he wants to do
everything he can to win her back. The only problem is will she take him back?
Also there is something he can’t regret about the past… Jake.
I completely enjoyed this
story, the characters and their back story is incredible. I also enjoyed the
mystery of it, in what her Christmas wish was, and if their grandmother is
still somehow influencing their lives.
We are hinted that they Genny’s
sister and cousin have made wishes as well, and I personally hope this is the
first of a series of a series… time will tell.
