From Harlequin Romance:  Be swept away by glamorous and heartfelt love stories.

 

Sophia Rose's Review:

There are plenty of cozy and sweet holiday romances out there, but not many set during a Kwanzaa celebration so I was tickled to come across this one by a new to me author.  A heartwarming friends to lovers beckoned and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

 

Opening in Kenya where Karl, a successful, wealthy event planner is impressed by Lin and asks her to come work for him on a Kwanzaa event back in Canada.  In a bid to get some distance to think about family expectations to follow in granddad’s footsteps and because she feels that special something between them, Lin agrees.  This pair were an easy fit and worked well together except Lin realizes Karl is shutting her out emotionally and she has no idea what he is thinking.  And, on Karl’s end, he’s got his own family issues and is carrying around issues from an ex who did a number on his heart. The clock is ticking down on the seven days of Kwanzaa and toward the time when she must return home.  Will they both make peace with family and the past in time to have a future together?

 

I thought their meet cute was fun when he spotted a ‘thief’ and later learned it was Lin as a bridesmaid and then they worked out well.  It was so easy and assuming in most ways even as working partners they slipped into the forbidden kisses and feels.  I wanted to bop Karl for taking so long to get that Lin was not his ex and he had to deal with that and his family instead of shutting Lin out.  But, for all that, this was not a high drama book and I appreciated the author touching on some issues to balance out the sweetness and light holiday feel.

 

This was a fast and easy read with lots of holiday sweetness and a very little sexy.  The resolve did come late in the story and it wrapped up quickly, but my expectations and mood were for what I got and I was well pleased for this non-Christmas winter holiday romance and an international couple to add some diversity flavor to my holiday reading.  Fun trying a new to me author and I have my eye on her other books that mention more of the international locales and people.  You’ll want to consider Forbidden Kisses for your personal stocking stuffer.
