What I loved most about this book is how both Jake and Sabrina behaved. Ten years later, Jake finds out he has a daughter. Several months later Jake is married and Sabrina discovers she’s pregnant. But Jake broke both of their hearts when he felt duty-bound to leave her. Sabrina and Jake had a brief relationship one summer when she was just 19 and he was 25. But we don’t read fiction because it’s just like real life, do we?!?! And I can’t seem to get enough or walk away from either…Īdmittedly, the secret baby trope is a guilty pleasure of mine (because in real life, there’s very little excuse for not telling a man he’s fathered a child). I’ve recently discovered Jeannie Moon, and now I find myself drawn to her books like I am to a homemade chocolate cake. Looking forward to reading the rest of the novellas in this series!ĪRC generously provided via Netgalley, in exchange for the above honest review. His attempts to prove to Bree that he wants to be a full-time father, and have a full-time family with her are sweet, sexy and heart felt. I loved Jake, the guy has a heart of gold, and though he has missed out on ten years of his daughters life through no fault of his own, he goes out of his way to make sure that he doesn't miss anymore. The return of Jake Killen to her life after a decade, offers them both a few surprises, and although the storyline doesn't really offer up anything new, I still enjoyed every minute of this novella! Sometimes a storyline, its characters and the authors writing style, just click with the reader, and I absolutely adored Sabrina and her daughter Charlie. Jeannie Moon offers the reader an absolutely lovely start to the Christmas in New York series of novellas. Struggling with anger, guilt, and chemistry that’s off the chart, Sabrina and Jake wonder if they can find love again and, this Christmas, make all their wishes come true.īook 2: All I Want for Christmas by Jennifer Gracenīook 3: A Light in the Window by Jolyse Barnettīook 4: Goodness and Light by Patty Blountģ.5 - 'I wished for you,'.

When he sees Sabrina again, he discovers that he didn’t just walk away from her ten years ago, but also from their unborn child. Jake Killen’s career in professional hockey has brought him many rewards on and off the ice, but returning to New York brings back a flood of memories. She had enough of that when the man she loved broke her heart. Having Charlie meant putting some of her own dreams on hold, but Sabrina is content to surround herself with family and friends, safe from the realities of the outside world. Single mother Sabrina Gervais has built a happy life with her daughter Charlotte in their eastern Long Island hometown of Holly Point.
