Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2022
This short novella serves as a bridge between the Whiskey Creek series and the Silver Springs series. Mack and Natasha met when she was sixteen, and he was twenty-five. Her mother had married his father, but those two were no kind of parents. Mack and his brothers took over looking after Tash. She made no secret of her feelings for Mack, but he always treated her like a little sister.

Years later, Tash returns to Whiskey Creek to visit her mom during the holidays and sees Mack again. Her feelings for him are just as strong, but what about his for her? I loved seeing Mack finally admit to himself that Tash is now a grown woman and what that means to him. There are some sweet scenes of the two as they wander the Christmas market, and you can feel the tension between them.

When they finally give in, it's everything that Tash hoped for. She has high hopes for their future, but the distance grows between them after her return to medical school. Heartbroken, Tash vows to move on until she realizes something that will make it impossible to forget him.

The story stops there, to be picked up in the Silver Springs book When I Found You.

This short story was really an introduction to Mack and Tash and the journey of their feelings for each other the christmas she came home from college.
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2021
Ends in mid story saying if you want to know what happens next buy the next book. The story wasn’t good enough to want to know what happens.
