Great story. Really felt the characters' pain and struggles, and the embarrassment as they tried to move past something that really meant so much to them both. Definitely a happy Christmas tale that made me smile.

I'm torn about this book. It was a little bit more emotion-packed than I was expecting so that was a bit of a shock, but in a good way, mostly. It really just comes down to some personal pet-peeves I have about certain things that happen during time-lapsed separations in some second chance romances that made it hard for me to really, really fall in love with the characters and their story.
This is my first time reading Molly O'Keefe but I will definitely be reading her again.

Loved this book. My favourite one of the series so far. Josie and Camran were made for each other. Again what i love about this one was the journey the characters went on to grow and start healing. This family are wonderful. Can’t wait to read helen’s book when i get it.

Second chance romance.
They split due to family interference.
During separation Hero meets another woman nine !onths later, they get engaged.
He breaks if off when he realises they don't want the same things.
Heroine remains a virgin.
“How am I a twenty-four-year-old virgin? Because it took me a long time to get over what happened the night of my birthday. And then, when other men touched me, I was just…so aware they weren’t you. And then, I don’t know, it got easier to simply turn it all off.”
So she dated.
HEA.

Returning to Riverview Inn for the holidays...
I enjoyed Josie and Cameron's story--it was so fun to return to the inn to find the three children of the series (including Helen) all grown up with angsty issues of their own to deal with. Fortunately (for us, they probably wouldn't agree ;)) Josie and Cameron's angst stems from a mutual event--one that led to both of them leaving the Inn and the Mitchell family, him for seven years and her for five. But now Helen has brought them back...
(And GAH, [a:Molly O'Keefe|223845|Molly O'Keefe|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1294548289p2/223845.jpg], the not-at-all-subtle hints at the end about Helen's story. Are you TRYING to kill me, here?)
Though I did spend a lot of this book aggravated with one or both of our main characters--so stubborn! So unwilling/unable to sit down to a real conversation with the people that they really needed to!--at the same time it was a bit hard to blame them for behaving the way that they did. Fortunately, Ms O'Keefe knew exactly what they needed to set things straight--a family holiday with people who loved them both and were willing to work at reconcilliation--and not shy about being pushy about it--and being stranded by a snowstorm. That latter one resolves all relationship ills, amirite? ;)
Now that Cameron and Josie have their HEA, all that is left is to wait oh-so-patiently for Helen's book.
Is it out yet?
How about now?
Sigh...
