Savanna's Gift (Christmas Holiday Extravaganza) [Kindle Edition]

Camille Eide (Author)

Book Description

Forced to return to the ski lodge where she once worked, Savanna Holt is reminded of one special Christmas and how ambition led her to make the worst mistake of her life: Leaving Luke Nelson.

Stunned to discover Luke never left, but worked his way up from lift operator to manager, Savanna sees the opportunity as a gift from God. She’s determined to win Luke back. But Luke wants no reminders of his past hurt, or a relationship with the woman who put ambition before love.

Can Savanna convince Luke she’s changed and her interest isn't because of his position? And when her dream job beckons, will she sacrifice her dream for a second chance at love?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Christmas story with depth! December 16, 2011

By Love 2 Read Novels

Format:Kindle Edition

Savanna Holt returns to the ski lodge where she once worked when she drives a friends daughter there to be with her grandparents over Christmas. Seeing the lodge reminds her not only of one special Christmas but it also reminds her of the biggest mistake she's ever made, leaving Luke Nelson. She's surprised to find he's not only still there but is now the manager of the lodge. When a blizzard delays her departure she sees it as God giving her an opportunity to clear the air and show Luke how much she's changed. Luke, however, isn't really interested in a relationship with a woman who once put her career ahead of her love for him. But the pull of love can be strong. Luke begins to see how Savanna has changed. So what will happen when Savanna gets the job opportunity she's been waiting for?

What a GREAT little story! You will fall in love with the characters and the Evergreen Ridge Resort. The story has such an easy flow and yet has the depth of a longer story. Very heart-warming. I thought that for such a small story the characters were larger than life. The conflict between Luke and Savanna was handled in a realistic way and their reactions were so true to life. You'll also love the toe-curling kisses. I really appreciated the lodge's Christmas tradition. I thought it was really neat. You'll just have to read the story to find out what it is. If you're looking for a good Christmas read with lots of depth and a great message then I recommend Savanna's Gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful holiday read! November 30, 2011

By Linda Glaz

Format:Kindle Edition

Savanna Holt, blinded by prestige and a journey that will take her up the social ladder, finds herself, once again, confronted by love AND Luke Nelson, the man she left at the bottom of the rungs. Now, the manager of the ski lodge, Luke is suspicious of her attention. Does she really want him, or is she merely attracted to his position? Savanna's Gift is a delightful story of how we grow up and learn what is truly important in life. How we begin to respond to life situations with the maturity and wisdom only time provides. Has Savanna learned these lessons before it's too late? She and Luke must both learn to trust. Young love makes mistakes and as readers, we wait to find out whether or not Savanna and Luke will make them again. How far will God bring both of them? Enough to re-discover each other, or will they decide their first love didn't leave anything tangible to build on? Pick up Savanna's Gift for a
wonderful holiday read...you won't be sorry and you won't be able to put it down. Thanks, Camille for the read, it was time well-invested!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Christmas Romance Story December 20, 2011

By Freddie

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This Christmas romance novella balanced love, mistakes, Christmas, tension, and pacing flawlessly. The first paragraphs hook you in and the remaining story keeps you hitting the page-turning button until the happily-ever-after ending. This writer is gifted! I won my copy in a blog tour with no obligation to review. The words in this review are my honest opinion. I endorse the story heartily!
