Flirting with the Beast by Jane Porter
This story starts out with Andi and her heart is broken. She's lost her husband and thinks after all these years she is ready to celebrate Christmas again.
The big disappointment is the stepson and his girl won't even get to stop in this year, same as all the previous years. She had decked out the house and kitchen had so much food to feed an army.
She heads up to their cabin in the woods and tries to recreate it there with her friend Margot. She even chops down a tree. OK well she wasn't using the right tools and it wasn't even on her property but the neighbor let her know all this...
Wolf, big burly man and she had dropped the lawsuit after her spouse Kevin had died and even paid all lawyer fees. Kevin hated him with a vengeance.
Love how Wolf explains about the use of tools and when to use each of them, so informational and caring.
Her and Margot are having a great time enjoying the winter weather, the location and then she meets Wolf as he gives them a ride up the hill to their house. She even invites him for dinner and a movie and Andi tries to object...
We also are able to hear what Wolf thinks about all this during the same time things are happening. Like how Andi is able to remember things her and Kevin had done with their son, Luke while he was growing up. She is a good mom but at her age she will never have kids.
Love hearing all the detailed descriptions. I can smell the food prepared and can see and feel the cold of the snow around the cabin in the woods. Love how she doesn't like to ask for help she can do it all herself, might take her a bit longer it will get done.
Just when things are going well with them events occur and they are no longer together. Andi is heartbroken and leaves to spend time with her friend....
You wonder if they can ever patch things up again, seems impossible.
Super love the relationships from all different age groups. perfect family setting.
It's not often at all that a story makes me cry, this one got me TWO times, so close and realistic.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
