Yours for Christmas by: Susan MalleryI am an avid reader of Susan Mallery. Love her books. She always manages to write that a reader can enjoy and identify with the characters in. This one was no exception. Kenny and Bailey both have preconceived opinions about each other. Neither believes that due to circumstances they are the right fit for the other. As they get to know each other each individual start to realizes that they fit in so many ways. Perfectly and in love. Beautiful story. Enjoyed a great deal and would recommend to any reader of romance. Yours for Christmas is a part of the Fools Gold series and tells the story of Bailey and Kenny. Kenny has had a bad relationship in the past and as a result has told himself he will never date a single mom again. Despite that, he's having a hard time resisting his attraction to Bailey. Bailey is the town mayor's assistant and mother to a young daughter named Chloe. Bailey lost her husband in war and is just now beginning to feel settled in Fool's Gold and is ready to move on. She's seen Kenny around but doesn't believe anything will ever happen between them. But there's never something wrong with a little fantasy!This was a very heartwarming story, perfect for this time of year. I found Kenny to be so sweet with Chloe and loved how his relationship with her grew throughout the book. I loved watching him with Bailey and seeing how darn adorable they were together. He did everything right and I just felt so bad for his circumstances. I definitely was rooting for him and hoping that things turned out alright in the end.I really liked the plot of this book and thought it was a really good family romance book. If you're looking for lots of sexy times, you won't really find it in this book. This was more contemporary romance/family romance. Just the idea of getting the couple together forever and everything else is implied. But I liked the story and I didn't miss the sexier details.I also enjoyed seeing past characters. I especially loved the side bits of Taryn. I can't wait to see more about her storyline in future books!Can't wait for the next one!Thanks to Harlequin and Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Better than some of your recent novels that seem to have had more gratuitous sex details that don't move the story along. Leave some things to the imagination and reader's own ideal of how a relationship should progress physically. Love your stories.
