A romantic, Christmas
wedding at her seaside hotel gives Delilah a chance to shine with her unique
gifts. But will her light be snuffed out before the bride and groom say “I
do”?
As manager of the Tidewater Inn, Delilah Carter has
been planning a spectacular Christmas wedding for her friends at the grand
hotel overlooking the ocean. While picking up still more twinkly lights and
some last-minute groceries for the reception dinner, a huge truck runs her off
the freezing, wet roads into the dark night. Her car stops just short of an
enormous tree and the truck speeds off into the night. Delilah escapes with her
life and has almost convinced herself the whole thing was an accident, but then
she begins to receive threatening phone calls. With the wedding just hours
away, she’s distracted and anxious. Then Sheriff Tom Bourne stops by the inn
and volunteers to help.
Tom has always had a soft spot for Delilah, and he’s
determined to protect her. But he is pulled away by a bizarre Christmas stunt
that has the neighborhood reeling, and Delilah is attacked again.
Will Delilah have to cancel the Christmas wedding at
Tidewater Inn? And will Tom’s protection be enough to save Delilah from the
shadowy figure looming in the background?
I have always loved reading Colleen Coble’s books and
this was no exception. We meet Delilah
and Tom who are both lonely people heading into Christmas. Delilah masks her loneliness by helping
others. Tom masks his by keeping busy
with Sheriff work. When Delilah is
attacked Tom has the perfect opportunity to stay close to her. As they are trying to discover who is
attacking Delilah, we are caught up to date on the lives of the other characters
from “The Hope Beach Series”. The only
problem I had with the book is that it was too short. It would have been nice to have a little more
character development. I realize novellas
are short, so that wasn’t a possibility.
Overall it was a very book and I would recommend this book to anyone.
