Contemporary romance/to review

Now this was all sorts of sweetness.

Callie comes with her nephew to Finn for help. They have to hide out. Callie served with Finn and they were good friends.

So they stay at his ranch. She helps out. Sparks fly as they are both out of service. They rescue some animals and they plan for christmas. I told you it was all very sweet.

They even rescue something more, I will be vague there. But this new found family is just so kind and good.

A sweet Christmas romance about the family that you find.

Good narration, I liked her different voices for everyone. Even the parrot had hers.

Callie Brewster didn’t figure she’d ever see Finn O’Donnell again when they parted company in Afghanistan. But when her little brother witnesses a killing, everything changes. The government says they’ll put him in witness protection, but Callie doesn’t trust anyone to protect her brother—except for Finn O’Donnell.

All Finn wants for Christmas is some peace and quiet on his newly purchased ranch. But he owes Callie Brewster his life, and he always repays a debt. Now there’s a woman in the house who joined the army to get away from ranching, a boy who is scared of his shadow, and a feud going on amongst the other ranchers. Yet in the midst of all the chaos, Finn is happier and more at peace than he’s ever been before…

Romance/to review

I decided to give Harlequin a go, I have not read one in ages. And I must say, were they always this passionate? I do not remember it like that since I read these at 10. Not like anything more than normal, but these two really have the hots for each other.

Solace had a one night stand, she was a virgin, they always are, she got pregnant, and omg the babydaddy is a king! And then she was tired, and she did not know she was pregnant and she signed away the rights to her child. 6 months later she is back with a plan to get her child back.

First, the kid is a bastard, he should not be heir, so forget about that plothole. I am sure they have it written in their constitution and like in the olden days when a king married and had kids they were not at all jealous that the bastard got the throne, lol.

King Galen is really alpha, I mean really alpha. He meets Solace again, sparks fly. She wants her son back. He does not want scandal as he told everyone the mother was dead. There is an uncle who wants the throne.

We all know they will get their HEA, and Galen is so alpha so he will make sure he gets his HEA, without scandal.

I did enjoy it. It was short, passionate and I always like fake royal countries

The narrator worked well and did a good job with this book

In a moment of dark despair, a destitute Solace Ashworth gave up her newborn to palace officials. She was sure his wealthy father, King Galen Kouros, could provide the life she never could. Now she’ll do anything to get her baby back—even blackmail the king!

Facing the woman he shared one reckless night with, Galen experiences the same lightning bolt of desire. Then shame at discovering the terrible mistake that tore Solace from their son. There’s only one acceptable option, and it starts with claiming Solace at the royal altar!

3/31/2026 What's your favourite colour?

In High school it was blue! Then in my mid 20s I had my green period, but then it just, well I liked certain colors, but honestly I feel like I am in my grey/black period now. I would love to find my way back to Green, I do love green, but it has to be the right green that fits my coloring. Srsly, colors are hard! And since colors comes in waves, well it is hard to find the right color if it is not in.

Long story short, blue and green :D
