Cold Feet at Christmas: Leah Harvey has had her share of loss and knows all about survivors guilt, not to mention needing something or someone to cling to at different times. She does love to cook though and that desire has never left her, but when on her wedding day she breaks down and has to cross a snowy field in December she has to wonder what sense has left her as well.
Roberto Cavelli didn’t deserve to be happy, or so he thought. He didn’t deserve Christmas or relationships or anything. He had lost his wife and his daughter and when he buried them he buried his heart. So in trying to be good he disappeared every Christmas where no one could see him in his foul mood. Sometimes though you are just in the right place at the right time.
Roberto and Leah meet kind of like that the right place at the right time. While it’s not exactly a great beginning after all she is almost frozen to death and he breaks a nice glass of whiskey, it’s the right time. After all is said and done though and new lives are started will they be enough to finally heal one another?
Ms. Johnson has written a wonderful fictional story. The plot is a little far fetched and the heroine is a little unbelievable but if you can suspend your belief in reality it has a happy ending and isn’t similar to anything I’ve read before. Her details are wonderful and though I really wasn’t impressed by the heroines character most times the way she described her was great and I was impressed that as much as I wanted to throttle her for being weak willed Ms. Johnson had a way of turning it so you could see how much she just wanted to help Roberto. This is a story about two survivors deciding if they are going to survive or if they are going to actually live their lives. The story can be frustrating at times but is well worth sticking to it through the end, as sometimes it is all about being at the right place at the right time.
