Title: A Fool’s Gold Christmas
By Susan Mallery
The Gist:
After an injury forces Evie to move close to her
estranged family, she figures that she will just keeps her head down while she
saves up enough money, teaching dance, to move away again. Little does she know that, in the town
of Fool’s Gold, it is impossible to not become part of something much bigger
than yourself. While this
Christmas obsessed, close-knit community welcomes her with open arms, her
mother and brothers try to make amends for their past, and a sizzling
attraction begins with her neighbor Dante, Evie must decide if she is ready to
open herself up, and let people into her life.
What I thought:
I have had the pleasure of reading a few books by
Susan Mallery, but this was my first Fool’s Gold novel. This story was absolutely
wonderful! It combined so many of
the things I love, dance, Christmas, involved communities, and sweet love
stories, and left me with a quite smile, and a warm heart.
The characters of Evie and Dante were well written;
both had deep scars from their pasts, which have them running from love. Miss Mallery wove these characters
together so intimately; in such a way that each of their individual healings
could not happen without the other person. This is not a story that explicitly describes each physical
intimacy, which I appreciate, favoring more of the emotional connection of
these two wonderful people.
If you like a good romantic story, full of Christmas
cheer, community service, and personal healing, pick up A Fool’s Gold
Christmas!
