Publisher Description
From the author who knows all the secrets of a woman’s heart comes a tantalizing tale of holiday romance—as a young woman discovers how a night of passion can change your life, and your dreams, forever.
Ria Lavender is the last woman in the world to be swept away by a smooth line and a seductive smile. A talented architect, she’s just beginning to savor the fruits of her success when she meets a man who will change everything.
Mayor-Elect Taylor MacKensie is handsome, charming, and charismatic. Still, Ria never imagines that she’ll leave a Christmas party with him, or that, caught up in the magic of a snowfall and a bottle of champagne, she’ll give in to desire. Eight weeks later, Ria knows she’s carrying Taylor’s child.
To give their baby a name, Ria persuades Taylor to marry her—at least temporarily. But while Ria soon feels a surprising tenderness—and passion—for Taylor, she fears his prime concern is protecting his career. Ria vows to keep her distance from the man who holds the key to her heart … until life teaches them both a lesson in miracles—and love.

"It was dificult getting beyond the first two chapters but I made it and now this is one of my favorites. Hated the ending with a passion. It didn't seem to fit the hero and heroine. So eliminate chapter one and two and the last couple pages and this was a great book for me! "

" OMG!!!! I really loved this book, it remains with me even today and it is one of few that I have read again. Yes this is a cliche 80's love story but I love it! "

" I really liked it compared to the other books in this holiday genre I am exploring. Ups and downs of a love relationship with the complication of a baby! How cute! "

" Cerita di novel ini emg agak too good to be true ya, mana proses jatuh cintanya jg instant banget. Tapi pas baca, gw bs hanyut dalam kisah kasih Taylor & Ria, bs ngerasain chemistry dan emosi mereka. sooo 4,5 stars :) "

" Not my cup of tea, but i did manage to skim through to the end of the book. The erotic passages were just NOT what I was looking for during the Christmas holidays!!!! If you like authors like Lavyrie Spencer, Sandra Brown might be someone for you to look into. "

" The premise of this book is a little unrealistic, but the characters are well developed and it was an enjoyable, quick read – with the exception of the last chapter. Taylor adopts a child to present to Ria as gift – I found this to be such a strange thing to do and completely unrealistic. "

" This is a great book! Did not put it down, read it in one night! "

" I loved this book...I was crying my eyes out and laughing at the same time as I Read the last page. I loved how the miscarriage brought the leads closer together instead of throwing them apart in despair and regret. It was an awesome read and I reconmend it 100%! "
