A Delightful Blend of Romance & Humor
Captain Jake Marston was injured in the line of duty in his role as a fiirefighter for his beloved
hometown of Starlight, Iowa. As a teenager Jake had made a secret promise to God, a promise that he intends to keep. It's been a year since his former
girlfriend left town, and Jake's friends think it's time he moves forward. Fellow firefighter and friend, Dylan Sinclair pays Jake a visit with his
gorgeous younger sister, Julia, in tow. Julia works as a pediatric nurse in Cedar Rapids and has a secret of her own. Dylan persuades Jake to attend
the town's annual Christmas party, giving tours of one of the firetrucks, and passing out gifts to the local underprivileged children, an activity
Jake loves. During the party Jake can't take his eyes off Julia, and begins to think that he has found the woman of his dreams. As Jake and Julia are
thrown into numerous situations together the attraction between them escalates. Both Jake and Julia are strong in their faith, and look to God for
direction in their most unusual predicaments.

JoAnn Durgin writes with a strong Christian conviction and beautifully descriptive elements
as well as charming characters. This lovely Christmas novella is filled with romance and humor! The characters are strong and are protrayed with all
the human characteristics of lovable, delightful and godly personalities. Numerous emotions surface as the story unfolds. I found myself smiling,
laughing, and cheering for these sweet characters throughout this unpredictable and fun-filled story. Jake's bumbling habits are charming, and Julia's
sweet personality is captivating. I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining Christmas novella, and will most likely read it every year when Christmas
approaches!
