A word from Lee...
When I was given the assignment to write a book with the
title “Secret Christmas Twins,” I’ll admit, I was concerned. Secret baby
stories are very common in romance fiction, and they usually involve a single
mom returning to her hometown with a baby or young child who turns out to be
the hero’s. But that storyline doesn’t work so well in Christian romance, where
the characters usually stay chaste until marriage.
So I had to get a little more creative with my secret baby
story. The secret Christmas twins actually belong to the hero’s sister, who’s
made many mistakes she’s ashamed of. She doesn’t want her family back at home
to know that she had twins out of wedlock, and she fears that if they find out
about her boys, they’ll attempt to take custody… especially her brother Jason,
who’s just a little bit, shall we say, rigid.
For a variety of reasons, she gives her babies to her friend to raise at
the family farm she’s part owner of, swearing her friend to secrecy about the
babies’ parentage.
You can imagine the tension when the hero turns out to be
staying for Christmas at that very family farm where the heroine has taken the
babies…
So there’s a serious secret underlying this story. But there
are also sleigh rides and Christmas decorations and a dog named Mistletoe! I
loved writing this book, and I hope you’ll love reading it.
My review...
Erica Lindholm and twin boys Mikey and Teddy are headed to
Holly Creek Farm. Things seem to be going well until she encounters the one
person she had hoped not to see, the twins’ uncle, Jason Stephanidis. Jason
knows that there is something Erica is not telling him and his family, and as a
detective, he is determined to find out what that is. If he learns the truth,
it could change everything for everybody. Will Erica receive a holiday miracle
or a holiday disaster?
If you’re looking for a quick read to get you in the holiday
spirit, this book fits the bill, starting with the adorable cover. There is a
solid cast of supporting characters, and they are realistic in their struggles
with trust and forgiveness. The storyline makes it easy to see God’s work at
hand. The author’s writing style is smooth, and plot points blend together
nicely to create a satisfying ending.
Disclaimer: I received a
complimentary copy, but I wasn’t required to leave a positive review.
