Book Review: Keep Me Warm At Christmas by Brenda Novak

Tweet

[/i]Hollywood starlet Tia Beckett knows one moment can change your life. Her career had been on the fast track before a near-fatal car accident left her with a delibitating facial scar. Certain her A-lister dreams are over, she agrees to house-sit at her producer's secluded estate in Silver Springs. It's the escape from the limelight that Tia's been craving until she discovers she's not the only houseguest for the holidays. And her handsome new roomie is impossible to ignore.[i] [/i]Artist Seth Turner has good reason to keep his distance. Losing his wife after only a few years of marriage has left a deep scar, even if he is still happy to spend a semester teaching art classes at the New Horizons Boys Ranch for troubled teens. Despite nursing her own wounds, Tia finds her curiosity piqued by enigmatic Seth, whom she recognizes as something of a kindred soul. Maybe spending Christmas together could be another game changer for both of them - this time, for good.[i] ~~~~ I loved this story. I love romances but I love suspenseful romances more. There is no indication in the description that there is some mystery involved in this romance novel. But it's there. Who told where Tia has been hiding out? And what is the result? That is where the suspense lies in this book. It kept me turning the pages and reading into the wee hours of the morning. Brenda Novak claims this is the last story in her Silver Springs series. However, this is truly a standalone novel. You do not have to have read any of the other Silver Springs novels. Heck, I've only read one other I think, and it was a cross-over with Whiskey Creek. I highly recommended this romantic Christmas read. I gave it 5 stars.
