Thanks to Goodreads and Louisa Heaton for a free copy of A Father This Christmas?

A Father This Christmas? is I think the first romance novel that I've actually, you know, gotten. Most of the time, by the time I reach the end of a book where romance features heavily, I'm frustrated and creeped out -- let's just say that the controlling alpha male love interest doesn't do it for me.

So, this book was really lovely to read. It's a sweet love story about two doctors and their son, but more than that, it's about family and belonging. There are some fantastic conflicts that move the story along in the first half, and while I thought there were a few plot points that were too coincidental, everything was wrapped up and explained by the end. And there are some interesting medical details worked in as well.

This is a great book to read while curled up inside on a snowy evening.… (mais)
