About:

Christmas novellas from three award-winning suspense authors

The Last Noel is a riveting Christmas novella collection with suspense, intrigue, and second-chance romance.

"Do You See What I See?" by Sarah Hamaker

Oakleigh Wright's estranged foster sister reappears late one night desperate to hand off her children. Oakleigh agrees to bring them to their aunt out of state, but her travels are intercepted by a ruthless gang. She turns to her ex, Joseph, for help. Will they rekindle their love as they uncover what the gang seeks?

"Do You Hear What I Hear?" by Jayna Breigh

Trial lawyer Elise Sinclair resigns herself to a lonely Christmas reviewing legal documents—until her renegade fiancé, Jack, reappears. He is jobless, broken, and seeking forgiveness. Can two battered hearts overcome secrets and restore their love?

"Do You Know What I Know?" by Kimberley Woodhouse

When Faith Thibodeaux returns to her Cajun-style food truck in Alaska after an accident, the last thing she expects is to find out that her ex-boyfriend is the executive chef of a new restaurant. When they return to their hometown over the holidays to fundraise, will the "friendly" competition restore their love or rip them apart forever?

 My Thoughts:

This was just what I needed and didn't know it. I really enjoyed these three fast-paced romantic suspense stories, taking place during the Christmas holiday. First off, the characters are unassuming and quite shocked to be in for the ride of their lives. And I was curled up in my chair with a hot drink all in for it.

All three of these stories deal with couples who have had a romantic pasts with one another and all of a sudden are thrust back into each other's lives unexpectedly, and with a bit of danger thrown in for all of them. I really enjoyed the freshness of all these stories, the season and the danger that seems like it would have clashed but made the stories all the more memorable.

From an ex calling her boyfriend in desperation to help her as she and two children that are left in her care because danger is seriously stalking her. To a woman finding her ex-fiancé bleeding on her doorstep, seriously that was a shocking scene. To a woman that has been through a terrible ordeal, and recovery finds out her ex has turned out to be her cooking competition, with a bit of danger on their heels. This was a great holiday read.

I was provided a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review, and all views and opinions are my own.
