So Much for Peace During the Holidays
Anna
Albertini has her hands full during the holiday season. Her boyfriend
Aiden is back in town after being undercover across the country for the
last three months, and his sudden over-protectiveness is a little too
much. In addition, Nonna’s latest matchmaking scheme has been so far
thwarted by the two most stubborn candidates alive, and Nonna is out of
patience and bringing out the big guns. Anna is forced to both protect
her sister and run interference, when she’d like to jump in and find a
happily ever after for everyone instead.
To add to her already
hectic life, her life-long stalker is about to make a move and doesn’t
hide that frightening fact, although Anna is more than ready for him. In
fact, she’s willing to draw him out to finally bring him
down—regardless of the consequences. Finally, Santa has been arrested
and charged for murder, needing a good lawyer. Who would arrest Santa?
Anna can’t let this stand. It’s a good thing Christmas is a time of
magic and miracles, because she’s going to need one. AMAZON LINK
5 STARS
This might not be the first book in this series but sure is the first time for me. And I absolutely fell in love with Anna. What a gal ! Others call her a trouble magnet and she sure does seem to be in the middle of it, often ! But I ended up rooting for her fairy quickly. Flaws and all.
Anna and Aiden had quite the "odd" relationship/romance but it kept my interest big time. They also had quite the history too. I liked watching them trying to figure things out. They had no trouble with the physical side of their relationship, it's just the rest of the stuff that brings up questions.
Anna had quite the large, loving, Irish/Italian quirky family. Although this story didn't get super deep into them in this story. When they showed up, it often made me smile.
It was true what the book information said about Anna's hectic life. It's hectic but the story flows so well too. Some of the secondary people that moved around Anna's life were interesting and sometimes kind of grumpy. But they are also trying NOT to get killed by being around her.
Humor is something that I always enjoy and this story had it. Along with Anna getting shot at, stalked and punched in the face a time or two.
Hmm, that stalker was crazy clever, with the emphasis on crazy. Scary, spooky and often seeming to be steps ahead of his pursuers. Where is he and how come it's been so hard to find him? All will be answered in the end and so will other questions. If you like surprise twists like I do, get ready.
Great ending that put another smile on my face.
My final words are, "Give me more Anna" !!
"I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book and these are my honest opinions.
