Christmas Miracles at the Little Log Cabin
by Helen J Rolfe
Do you believe in Christmas Miracles?
Holly is looking for a change and even though not everyone agrees with her career choices, she’s determined there’s more to this life than the long hours she works as an editor in New York City. What she doesn’t expect is to meet Mitch, a recluse who’s hiding more than she realizes.
Mitch does all he can to avoid human contact, spending his days in the little log cabin out in the woods behind Inglenook Falls where he owns a Christmas tree farm, so when Holly falls into his life, he’s not sure how to react. All he knows is that something needs to change if he ever wants to get his life back on track.
Along with friends Cleo and Darcy, Holly is determined to bring joy back to Mitch’s life, but will he appreciate their interference? And when a business proposition throws everything up in the air, will it do more harm than good and ruin lives forever?
Both Holly and Mitch must learn that on the surface people aren’t always what they seem…but if you dig a little deeper, they can take you by surprise.
Curl up this Christmas for plenty of snowflakes, roaring log fires, a marriage proposal, unlikely friendships and second chances as we return to the much-loved characters in the New York Ever After series.
My Rating:
Favorite Quote:
‘People are scared of you, you know… I heard someone call you a yeti last time we were here.’ Mitch’s laughter rang out across the street making the woman coming out of the candy store jump. She crossed the road pretty quick. ‘You’ve got a real way with women,’ Jude joked.
My Review:
I adored this unexpectedly poignant and emotive tale. Ms. Rolfe’s sensitive writing and well-crafted story captured and held my attention, squeezed my heart, and kept me tethered to my Kindle all the way to the sweet and oh so satisfying conclusion. The storylines were original, unpredictable, slowly paced, and cast with a uniquely complicated and intriguing main character. Mitch had become a hermit who had gone off the deep end when his wife had left him and took his son with her after he had experienced an extremely difficult and devastating period in his career. However, there were far more levels to him underneath his crusty layers of scruff and hair than anyone knew. While he was reclusive and feared as possibly dangerous, he was most likely the gentlest person residing in his small town. His spirit had been reawakened and he was starting to come back to himself after several years of near seclusion. This was my first exposure to Ms. Rolfe’s lovely arrangement of words and although I may have been at a slight disadvantage as I jumped in at the fourth book of her series, I had no problem keeping up, yet my interest was sparked to delve into her previous books as well as any and all other collections of words she has and will ever scribble.
