Toymaker, Deacon Stone, needs a wife. If he isn't married in less than a week his grandmother will sell her shares of the family business, and everything Deacon has worked his entire life for will be taken from him. He isn't the husband type but he'll do whatever it takes to keep control of the family business.Single mother, Claire Brooks, dreamed of being an actress, not a maid to the wealthy. But with an eviction notice, an empty bank account, and Christmas just around the corner, she's barely making ends meet. When her daughter accidentally breaks a priceless statue belonging to her employer - the gorgeous and aloof toymaker - Claire has no choice but to accept Deacon Stone's proposal. Marry him for thirty days, convince his grandmother that they're in love, and he'll give her a hundred grand and the chance to finally give her daughter the life she deserves. Claire's determined to give the performance of her life. But when Deacon's kisses ignite a scorching hot chemistry between them, the line between make-believe and the truth starts to blur.

Those rare few I’ve connected with on another level. Where the characters have wrapped themselves around my mind and refused to let go. Books so well written that days after reading them the story still dances through your mind . Books that your mind demands rereading.
I have found another of those books. I have read many of Elizabeth Kelly’s books, and have loved them all, but The Christmas Wife was such an astounding read that before I even finished it I knew it was one of those rare books.
It’s hard to explain why I find The Christmas Wife to be such a perfect read. I loved the characters as much as I loved the plot. When I started the story I was crying within two pages. Claire’s desperation, her sadness about not being able to provide for Hattie, just ripped my heart to pieces. I could feel how broke down she was, how crushed her spirit was. How she was nearing defeat. But at the same time she refused to give up, how no matter what she had her daughter and would do anything for her.
The love of a mother is like nothing else in this world and Ms. Kelly couldn’t have written Claire more perfectly. I also loved Deacon, although at first he is quite an ass, even if he’s handsome as sin.
It’s his relationship with Hattie that makes you really love him. The way he grows to care for her just makes you wish you could take him home and keep him, because folks, there’s nothing sexier than a man who loves kids and can step up and be a father to a child that’s not his.
But over all what really got me was Deacon realizing that even though he didn’t want a wife or kids, what he needed was a family. That Claire and Hattie were exactly what he needed. Oh, and I must not forget the chemistry between Claire and Deacon. It’s hot folks, scorching hot.
For those who love a heartwarming contemporary romance with a dash of erotic, I would highly recommend Elizabeth Kelly’s books ! ( )
