CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, DEVELOPMENT:
Diamonds For Christmas is a second chance sweet romance. A short read of seventy-seven pages, the reader finds a cute, sincere, abiding, love story. Ruby has ghosts she must face and lay to rest before she can commit to Declan again. However, fear has her in its grip. Meanwhile, Declan is determined Ruby will not get away again.
Holly Blair created a light, cute, sweet, romance which can be read at any time of the year. A second chance at love, with the same person, does not come often. However, Ruby and Declan have a chance to grab love and happiness; if Ruby can conquer her fears. Bringing the story to an end with a crisis creates an opportunity for Ruby to face her fears head-on. Set in the small town of Jupiter Falls, I liked the small town feel of the story, as well as, Aunt Muriel’s determination. Blair’s scenes transitioned smoothly, and her writing flowed well. As a result, Diamonds For Christmas is an easy book to read.
Authors can not develop characters or storylines to the extent allowed in a novel due to the short length of the novella or short story. However, Blair crafted a short story which entertains and satisfies. I closed my E-reader with a sigh of satisfaction. Perfect for a lazy couple hours reading pleasure, I would not hesitate to buy this book for myself or a friend.
DIAMONDS FOR CHRISTMAS RECOMMENDATION: STARS 4
