Christine Rimmer’s latest installment of “The Bravos of Justice Creek,” “A Bravo for Christmas,” is a good read.

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2016

Christine Rimmer’s latest installment of “The Bravos of Justice Creek,” “A Bravo for Christmas,” is a good read. Honestly, though, it’s not my favorite book of the series, or of Ms. Rimmer’s, but I’ll still put it on my Keepers’ Shelf.
Darius Bravo has wanted Ava since school (high school, that is). Ava has a young daughter, Sylvie, who is a huge fan of Darius’. And why wouldn’t she be, when he helps Sylvie and the rest of her Blueberry troop build dollhouses for charity? Ava had her heart broken in the past and does not want to take a chance again on anything long-term. She agrees to a holiday-only fling with Darius, but tells him she doesn’t want a relationship after the holidays. Of course, Darius is going to do his best to change her mind.
I really enjoyed Darius’ interaction with the Blueberry troop. I could picture a man wearing a cape and crown, being the Blueberry King because that’s what the troop of young girls wanted him to be (and it didn’t embarrass him!). I can’t put into words, exactly, what I didn’t like about the book. Maybe it was Ava’s extreme stubbornness in avoiding the hint of anything permanent with Darius. I don’t know. I can tell you that I did something I haven’t done very often……I skipped a couple of chapters and read the ending. (I later went back and read the part I skipped.) [Yes, I know, she had been hurt, had a young child, and didn’t want to get hurt again. Most of us have been there, done that. You learn that life is too short to waste time like that.]
But, like I stated at the beginning, I like the story and it is still going on my Keepers’ Shelf.

I have always enjoyed Christine Rimmer's books and this is no exception.
Ava and Darius, have been so drawn to each other since high school. Will they get together? Will Ava finally give in to her desires. They both moved away from their hometown and went on with their lives apart. See if they will become what they need for each other in the future. Or will it be a holiday fling.

A Bravo for Christmas

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016

The story of a young woman afraid to let her guard down. Afraid to trust, afraid to love. For fear of being hurt again. The story of a young man with a second chance to be with the one woman he always wanted. The one that got away. From Christmas fling to true love. Another amazing love story by Christine Rimmer.

A Bravo for Christmas by Christine Rimmer is a 2016 Harlequin Special Edition publication.

A Christmas dare?

Darius Bravo, a popular football player in high school, was always asking Ava out, but the responsible, sensible, and cautious Ava always declined.

Now, Ava is widowed with a young daughter, Sylvia, to think of, but her attraction never fully waned. In fact, he’s played a starring role in her fantasies for a while. But, with the holidays approaching, Ava’s loneliness is stronger than usual, prompting her to suggest a holiday fling that would only last until New Years.

Darius plays along, but refuses to allow Ava to focus only on the physical contact she’s seeking. He sets a slower pace, forces Ava to get to know him better, spend time with him, and even reaches out to Sylvia too, in hopes of convincing Ava to give their relationship a chance.

Can Darius win Ava over by Christmas?

Darius is a terrific guy, and I loved how good he was with Sylvia and how hard he worked to win Ava's heart.

Ava is a little complicated and I wasn’t sure how to feel about her family. I understood, but then again, I struggled with it, too, the same way Ava did.

Thankfully, Ava finds peace and healing and her feelings for Darius was a catalyst for that, I think.

So, despite their relationship starting out based solely on a physical attraction, it deepens into something much more and gives everyone involved a chance for a wonderful Christmas and a happily ever after.

If you are looking for a sweet, but sexy, story with just the right amount of holiday feels, look no further.
