A Cold Creek Christmas (Reigning Hearts, Book 5) by KG Fletcher – Review by Jennifer Gordon

A Cold Creek Christmas by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A lovely, sweet Christmas romance which was an enjoyable and engaging read. This wonderfully written novella is a standalone story, although part of a series, all of which I’ve enjoyed. In this story, Amber Tatum the real life Grinch of Cold Creek meets Christmas loving single Dad Giovanni Sentieri. With a little bit of Christmas magic, hopefully they get their HEA. Bar owner Amber’s hatred of Christmas stems from bad memories from her childhood, and so she now doesn’t join in with all the small towns annual traditions. Amber also craves a family of her own and when she meets Italian chef Giovanni she starts to think her dreams might come true. Gio is ready to make a home for himself and his daughter, and has taken over his grandmother’s Italian Café in Cold Creek. Struggling to balance being a single father and work as well as getting over a devastating divorce Gio was not looking for a new relationship, but when he meets Amber he can not deny their connection.
Gio is determined to make Amber love Christmas as much as he does and so invites her to spend the holiday with him and his family. Amber has to choose to either take a chance at love and a family or stay as she is, as the self proclaimed Grinch of Cold Creek. This is a contemporary Christmas romance, and I loved Gio and Amber and was cheering them on hoping they would get their HEA. The instant attraction and chemistry between the couple came across in the story and led to some steamy scenes. The wonderfully Christmas setting of Cold Creek was brought to life by the descriptive narrative and I felt immersed in small town living. This heartwarming novella really put me in a festive mood.
