BOOK REVIEW- THE PROPOSAL- Single mom Amber Richardson spends every holiday season working to give her young son the best Christmas possible and striving to ignore the empty chairs around her table, chairs she wishes her mother and father and extended family occupied.
She'd hoped that this holiday would be fuller and happier than the rest. Her handsome firefighter boyfriend, Will McGrath, has brought immeasurable joy and love into her life. Up until recently, they'd even been talking about a future that included wedding bells. Lately, though, the wedding talk has been nonexistent and Amber can’t help but worry that Will's starting to have second thoughts....Until a fire station surprise brings very good tidings. AMAZON
Yes, it's sweet and Yes, its Short in length. Its also a clean story. I like clever wording; I'm a sucker for it. "This blowout was merely the straw that broke the nativity camel's back". Now that is a perfect example of just what I am talking about. Amber also describes how some of the "joys" of Christmas preparations could wear you down. She was worn out AND carrying some guilt about the smaller amount of family that surrounds her son. Sounds a lot like something most mom's can identify with. One of the reasons is that its been at least a decade since the last time she has seen her own mother and father. Will sounds like a sweetie, someone she loves and can count on.
I got this book free in pdf form from Bethany House (Fiction) and now I'm giving my honest review of it.
