I am quickly becoming a fast fan of the contemporary romance novels by Helen Scott Taylor. My previous review can be read HERE for A Family Forever. A Family For Christmas is another sweet story. This one based, of course, around Christmas.

Single professional working woman Eve is on her way to an important and potentially career and life altering interview in the middle of winter not long before Christmas. Circumstances combine (re: a lamb and horrible weather) to stop her in her tracks. In swoops a knight in wool and tractor to save her. Stuck overnight until safer weather allowed for a return to check out the damage to her vehicle, Eve is welcomed into the home of her saviour Tom and his adorable daughter Polly.

Abandoned by his wife and the mother of her child 3 years previous, Tom’s rather suspicious of any woman while little Polly just wants a mother. Eve is dealing with the loss of her parents not long prior and her distance from her older and twin brothers.

What I love is that while the love begins quickly, they think, they talk and they react with logic and heart. There is a smaller issue with Eve’s twin and his wife that is dealt with and little Polly is adorable. If you are looking for a romantic story with a lively pace, three characters you fall in love with and an ending that warms your heart this is a perfect rainy afternoon story. (and wow have we had A LOT of those this spring!)
