Christmas at Black Cherry Retreat
What if you had nowhere to call home for Christmas?
When Fee Winter books a winter break at the remote Black Cherry Retreat in the small town of Pine Ridge, Tennessee, it’s with the idea that the peace and quiet will help her recuperate from her hectic life as a photographer.
But what she didn’t bank on was meeting Tom Chambers and his huge, interfering yet lovable family. With them, could Fee finally experience the warmth and support that’s been missing from her own life – and maybe even find a place to call home in time for Christmas?

My Review
If ever there were two troubled souls, then Fee and Thomas are top of the bill. There is a great deal of psycho-analysis of their state of mind after each of them has suffered trauma. As with all good romances, this starts off on the slow burner and gradually heats up a notch only to be left simmering for a good while. They are both naturally defensive, reluctant to let anyone in and have trust issues. Little by little, we see the barriers gradually being eroded. Readers generally know the outcome but this story is all about the journey. The setting is evocatively described and a perfect backdrop to the emotions of the protagonists. A Christmas read that will have you praying for a happy ending and wanting to knock the couple's heads together in equal measure.
