(Noel Collection #2)
by Richard Paul Evans
Simon and Schuster, 2018, Fiction, 330 p.
Maggie grew up in an abusive home, but married a handsome and influential man, and also runs a successful catering business. Her "happily ever after" comes crashing down when her husband is arrested for bigamy. Publicly humiliated, Maggie withdraws from the world until her best friend and employee urges her to get out and start living again. She decides to start by buying a Christmas tree, and when she gets to the tree lot she meets its rugged and handsome owner, Andrew Hill. They both fall into a whirlwind romance and Andrew seems to be the perfect man for Maggie, but then something happens to make Maggie doubt that Andrew is being completely honest with her.
This is a decadent confection of a book, just right to curl up with on a cold winter evening for those of us who can't get enough of Hallmark Christmas Specials during December. Although Maggie and Andrew's romance is anything but subdued, Evans keeps it pretty clean, which is an added plus. This is the second in a "collection" but it is a stand alone story with different characters than the first in the collection and the books can be read in any order. If someone beats you to the print copy of the book at the Library, it is also available through Overdrive as an ebook or e-audiobook.
