🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is my first book by Burgoa and I will say I am now a fan of her writing. Once I started this book I did not want to put it down! I am a sucker for a good holiday book and this book did not disappoint. I loved June. She is in her thirties and have goals for her life that she is determined to accomplish. She decide that it is up to her to make things happened so she puts a plan in place to accomplish her goals. Sterling was not part of June’s plans and June was not part of Sterling’s plan. Sterling has lived a very guarded life. He is determined to prove his existence in the world and nothing else matters. When their paths collide the chemistry is undeniable. June is determine to protect her heart and Sterling is trying to determine how to change his carefully crafted life. Great story. Loved the supporting characters and excited to dig into their stories!
