Trapped in a cabin in a raging blizzard with the one man on earth who could turn her world upside down…this Christmas holiday was not playing out at all the way Lil Reynolds had planned. Not even close.

When Lil’s former fiancé chose to marry on Christmas Eve—the day he and Lil had planned to marry one year ago—she knew she had to get out of town for the holidays. Heading to the isolated family cabin seemed like the perfect solution, until the blizzard came…and a man showed up at her door in the heart of the storm. Casey Lanigan. Her ex-fiancé’s brother. A man with whom she shared a secret summer romance many years ago. A man who’d betrayed her trust. A man who, despite everything, still made her heart beat a little harder…

So much for a Lanigan-free holiday.

They secretly dated for a while but then he got in trouble and she walked away from him, left for college and when she came back after college started daring his brother. After she walked away, Casey left town and built a business for himself but didn't come home often. Lil breaks off engagement to his brother. A year later they get snowed in at her cabin in the mountains by unexpected blizzard. Will they be able to work through their issues from the past and be able to move forward? Do they finally admit to their real feelings years ago and now?

second chance romance

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2022

This is a short and quick read. It is perfect for the holidays and a second-chance romance.

Lil has decided to take off to the cabin during the holidays. Her ex-fiancé is getting married on Christmas – the same day they were going to marry the year prior. She can’t stand the pitying looks of the townspeople and their attempts at comforting her, which is just salt in an open wound.

She thought she’d spend the holidays alone, cozied in the cabin, but that’s not how things go. Someone else also winds up near the cabin during the storm. Turns out it is Casey Lanigan. Her young love crush.

Being sequestered inside for a while, they can’t simply ignore one another entirely. Eventually, things get said. Lil has experienced the emotional roller coaster of abuse, living her whole life with an alcoholic father – except during the holidays. But it was always false hope. Casey’s father, on the other hand, could find only his faults, never being good enough. After hearing it for so long, he started doing things for his father to indeed blame him for.

They met when Lil took a job working at Casey’s family business, Lanigan Greenhouses. They were put to work together. They were opposites and they attracted. But Lil set some boundaries, given what her father was like. All of his stints that landed him in juvie – over. She could not withstand the pain and humiliation if he were to be arrested.

And that’s exactly what happened. Lil cut him off. Lil felt betrayed; Casey felt betrayed. He left town and went off to prove himself and she went back to school. He came back once before to prove himself to her…to find her dating his younger brother.

Back again to work for the family business following his father’s heart attack, he is roped in to being the best man. There is more family fighting, and that’s how he wound up at the cabins to retrieve his gear one final time.

There’s more family drama that is revealed and unravels throughout the rest of the book. One that threw me for a loop!

I love a blizzard, a cabin and a hunky hero

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this story. Two people are stranded in a cabin in the mountains in the dead of winter. As young adults they were romantically involved. He was the typical "bad boy" and she was from a family where her father held the title of "town drunk". It left its mark on her and so when the bad boy did his last rebellious act, she ended things with him and walked away. As in real life, the "bad" boys or girls are usually acting out for one reason or the other. Most of the time we just see them as bad and don't bother to find out what is the real issue.

Five years later they find themselves stranded in a blizzard in the cabin. In the small space they are forced to look at themselves as young adults and to see where they were really coming from. There is lots to settle as both parties were hurt and carry that hurt still. this was an interesting 2 day period. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it. one reviewer referred to all the "foul language". For the life of me I can't even remember that part - I just finished the book. Maybe I was more concerned with the story and where it was going. I do know the son and father had real issues and when they got into it with each other maybe there were foul words, but I truly don't remember them. I thought the story was good, I liked the characters - very human and believable and I liked the end. Someone should have put the old grandmother down!!! But that is just my thinking. In total, good read and entertaining.

I was not paid for this review. I am not an author nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.

Not what I expected.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

I downloaded the book without reading the reviews; as it was free all I did was check the rating, so wasn't 1 expecting it to be 2 novellas rather than a full novel. Half way through the first story I was wandering how on earth the author would stretch it to fill the book.
I always like to read a few feel-good Christmas books in December, this didn't fit the bill, Christmas seemed incidental, and although it had a happy-ever-after ending, it felt contrived. The obstacles felt as if they'd been set up, so they could be knocked down, but somehow it didn't feel real, possibly because I didn't really engage with any of the characters, they were too two dimensional. I enjoyed the writer's descriptive passages and didn't notice any glaring typos, which was a plus.
I may at some stage, if looking for a short read, try the second story, one reviewer says that it is better than the first but having read the initial chapters, I doubt that I will. I appreciate the need to encourage people to buy their books, but I dislike the habit of some authors (or their publishers) of tacking the start of another book or series to the end of another, and rarely read them.

A Woman of a Certain Age

2 Completely Separate Short Stories

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 17, 2018

I actually downloaded this by mistake but thought I'd go ahead and read it anyway. The title story (The Christmas Secret) was ridiculously short which is probably why the main characters were not rounded out in any way. But everybody ended up where they should be and who they should be with. I always like a HEA but there is a difference between a gentle read and a story with no real substance behind it. To me this fell into the latter category.
Then we had a bonus short story "Montana Secrets". I much preferred this book. There was pathos, there was also gentle humour. And it proved that you are never too old for love.

I haven't read Jeannie's books before but after reading two I'm hooked!
Her writing comes from the soul and warms your heart. I am now going to find her book list and work my way through them all.
Happy Reading!

A sweet tale set in a snowy landscape. A smattering of tendering loving and a fairytale ending. What more could you wwant? A less hurried ending actually. My only gripe.
