Christmas, canines and courtship…
Dale Wilson’s life hasn’t been “good” since his beloved wife died—at least until Millie Monroe moves to Ocean Breeze. Dale and his dog Juice can’t help but be drawn to the pediatric nurse. A widow herself, Millie understands not wanting romance. Finding unexpected common ground has given them both a friendship they’ve craved. Plus, their respective pups have become friends, too! But Dale has a secret—he’s bestselling author WG Gunder. Not something he readily wants to admit to the woman in his heart…and his bed. Perhaps the Christmas spirit can teach him that sometimes happily-ever-after is disguised as a new beginning…
Heart-wrenchingly beautiful! This is the third book in Quinn’s Cottages on Ocean Breeze series by Harlequin Special Edition. It’s the first I’ve had a chance to read in the series, but I didn’t find it troublesome to pick up because it was well developed in who the neighbors are along the beach and how they connect to each other. Dale and Millie are each widowed and still craving solitude as they pick up the pieces of their lives years after their losses. They connect innocently and with several canine companions to bring comfort and interaction along the way. This is definitely not a lighthearted holiday read, so don’t go into it thinking that it is. Instead, it’s a pathway of healing and a beacon of hope that you can find life and sometimes even love and happiness again after loss. It’s beautifully written and highly emotional. Loved their happily ever after!
