And why, despite that, did he look at me like he wanted to wake up on Christmas morning and find me naked in his bed?Conundrums. Drew was full of them. Too bad I wasn’t writing psychological thrillers. Would Drew Carolla, a man who didn’t believe in romance, inspire my greatest love story or leave me with unfinished chapters?

Reviews: ***** My favorite book I've ever read I picked this up because it made me curious and I liked the adorable cover. I never expected to fall in love with the characters and root for them the way I did. This book is full of Christmas spirit. I loved it. I think it should become a holiday classic movie like Miracle on 34th Street! Great." O. Dayton ***** My favorite Kissing Bridge novel! "I cannot get enough of the Kissing Bridge novels! I love that you get the opportunity to know and love each of the characters. Every story she has written about this Christmas obsessed town evokes emotion but this book was different. I shed tears of joy, tears of sadness, and tears of relatability. Everyone wants the chance to fix something in their past and these three women got that chance and deserved every second." L. Flours ***** What if you could go back in time and change something? "I love the book: the thought of going back in time to where you think everything went wrong and do it differently? Three women have regrets about their life and the paths they chose. They traveled to Kissing Village and took a chance. The stories are so different and so poignant that I finished in one sitting. I had to find out what happened. I found the characters believable and hopeful when they took the possible chance to redo the past. For anyone who loves a good story and possibilities."
