Description:
On a bright, crisp December morning, jewelry store manager, Peridot Keaton-Jones, arrives at work expecting to find her beloved uncle, Marty. Instead, she’s greeted by the muzzle of a gun pressed to her temple. When thugs assault her, threaten her life, and steal thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, Peri can only pray her uncle is late to work for the first time in his life.
Christopher Lane is a TV news cameraman in the right place at the right time. He witnesses the heist, calls the police, and offers help when Peri needs it most. She can't deny her attraction, but is he really her hero, or is he just after a story? And with Christmas right around the corner, can Peri and Chris avert a holiday disaster?
My thoughts on the book:
Peridot is so blessed to have your uncle and her sister. When she comes to work and encounters thugs who assault her and steal so much from her uncles store she starts to wonder how much of her life she has lived since loosing someone close to her. Chris just so happens to be in the right place at the right time and encounters a robby in process. The last person he expects is in there but he knows he needs to know more about her. But when they both face a disaster can they work together to fix it or will the continue to face another challenge that will divide them?
This book was a fun read, it was short and action packed from the go. The story is told from a first person point of view, I felt in a way that it would have been nice to hear a point of view from both characters since it seemed Chis played such an active roll in the story, in a sense it seem like something was missing. But that being said the storyline was fun and it kept my attention the whole time and was such a fun read. If you are looking for a good Christmas story in a small town, then this story is for you, its a quick read and worth the read.
