Genre: Christmas Romance

Summary (from Goodreads): #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR SUSAN WIGGS INVITES YOU TO AN UNFORGETTABLE CHRISTMAS IN THE CATSKILLS

A single father who yearns to be a family man, Logan O'Donnell is determined to create the perfect Christmas for his son, Charlie. The entire O'Donnell clan arrives to spend the holidays in Avalon, a postcard-pretty town on the shores of Willow Lake, a place for the family to reconnect and rediscover the special gifts of the season.

One of the guests is a newcomer to Willow Lake— Darcy Fitzgerald. Sharp-witted, independent and intent on guarding her heart, she's the last person Logan can see himself falling for. And Darcy is convinced that a relationship is the last thing she needs this Christmas.

Yet between the snowy silence of the winter woods, and toasty moments by a crackling fire, their two lonely hearts collide. The magic of the season brings them each a gift neither ever expected—a love to last a lifetime.

Review: Year ago I read several books in Susan Wiggs' Willow Lake series, and I really enjoyed them, so it was nice to pick up another book in the series and revisit the quaint town and friendly neighbors living in the Catskills.  This book was a quick and charming read about spunky and sporty city girl Darcy, who falls in love with loving single father Logan.  While I liked how Wiggs brought Darcy and Logan almost together in the years leading up to the perfect Christmas described in this book, the romance still felt a little quick.  But overall a fun to read, feel good Christmas story.

Rating: 4 stars (for a romance)
