Blurb
If a dream is a wish your heart makes, can it hear those things we want even if we don’t what they are? When sorrow brings young Lucy home to a land full of mystery, steeped in tradition and colored with unspoken magic, she finds herself re-evaluating her life and her own place in it. Things are never what they seem and people are seldom what you THINK them to be if all you base it on is what your eyes see and not what your soul knows. There’s a fine line between destiny and duty, but when both are blended with love, who knows what miracles can occur at Christmas.
Review
Ashley Nemer spins a sweet Irish tale set at Christmastime. Lucy loses her parents in a car accident and returns home to Ireland to take care of her ill grandfather. She meets Bud, a friend of her grandparents’, but it takes Bud a while to convince her to go on a date with him. Once she does, however, he shows her the time of her life and romance quickly blooms.
This short story clocks in at about 30 pages but there was enough emotion and back story for the main characters, plus the heroine’s grandmother, to not leave the reader wondering or wanting more info. The plot is great but this story could use a good edit to fix some grammar mistakes, mostly missing commas, and there were some POV shifts but it didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the book.
I look forward to reading book two, Bud’s Christmas Miracle. (Review to come soon.)
4 Stars.
