The Christmas Cabin

Harper Avery is a divorce attorney. So is Gabriel Hart. The similarities stop there. Harper is a bit jaded. Because one of her earlier relationships didn't work out, she feels that moving on quickly forces things to hurt less. Gabriel believes in second chances, believes that love can work miracles. Harper's client's soon-to-be ex-husband wants to reconcile. Gabriel is his attorney and goes head to head with Harper over letting the couple get on with a second chance. With Christmas right around the corner, Harper decides her spend her holiday in a friend's cabin. Only when she arrives, she finds that someone is already there.... Gabriel Hart. With neither of them willing to give up the cabin, they decide they can spend a few days sharing without coming to blows. The last thing she expected was Gabriel turning into a really nice guy .. someone she could fall for ... hard and fast! But can he change her mind about second chances? This is a short story/novella ... less than 100 pages. If you're looking for a feel-good Christmas story, this one fits the bill quite nicely. The characters are credible and likeable. The setting of Christmas in a Lake Tahoe cabin makes me want to pack my parka and go. The author packs a lot of story into these pages and once started, it's hard to put down. Highly recommended. Many thanks to the author / Hatco Publishing / Netgalley. The opinion expressed here is unbiased and completely my own.

Heartwarmingly charming story about compassion and patience in the face of a variety of situations—from minor setbacks to big life challenges—that can inevitably lead to enduring love!

After her Christmas plans with her aunt fall through, no-nonsense Harper reserves a quiet retreat at a woodland cabin. When she arrives, she's shocked to find it double booked—with none other than Gabriel, a rival divorce lawyer. They agree to share the cabin, but Gabe's laidback manner sets her teeth on edge. Soon, though, he helps her relax some of her strict standards. She finds herself falling for him—until a crisis with their feuding clients leaves her wondering if she can trust him. This is a sweet, funny, generally light novella. It does raise some important issues, though, about when to forgive in a relationship and when to let go. Thanks, Booksprout, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
