DESCRIPTION:
He came to Cannon Beach to escape Christmas. She came seeking safety. Neither expected to find love.
In December, retired police officer Hendrix Becker shuts down his quiet RV park on the Oregon coast to disappear from the world. Haunted by a tragic Christmas past, solitude has become his only refuge.
But this year, someone stays behind.
Josephine Collins, with her young son, has nowhere else to go when danger from her past resurfaces.
Against his instincts, Hendrix lets them stay. What begins as a tense arrangement slowly softens as Josephine’s courage and her son’s laughter begin to penetrate the ice around his heart. As trust builds, so does something deeper—something neither of them expected.
But Josephine's past isn't done with her yet. And when the threat gets too close, Hendrix must confront his own ghosts if he wants to protect the woman and child who’ve become his reason to believe again.
Emotional, suspenseful, and full of heart, The Accidental Christmas is a romance about second chances, quiet bravery, and finding hope when you least expect it.
MY THOUGHTS:
Hendrix Becker’s move to Oregon suits his desire for solitude when he needs it. The RV park he owns is busy nearly year round, but December is his. Looking forward to a quiet holiday season, one with complete isolation, is upset when Josephine Collins and her seven-year-old son Ryder are still on the grounds. Josephine, Joey, is more than a distraction that Hendrix would like to admit.
Joey’s rental has gone on for nearly a year, and she has been making ends meet by means of tutoring. Christmas is almost here and she is really hoping to buy something nice for Christmas, all while hoping she can continue her stay at the RV park. She has a story, but that story is her own.
Hendrix doesn’t dislike people, really. A former cop, in his second year of owning the RV park should prove that. But if anyone doesn’t fall in the unlikeable category, it certainly would be Joey. She is a quiet renter, and her son is well-behaved. He is drawn to her and that actually rather irritates him.
What an enjoyable story, but one that has a serious note, especially considering Joey’s former marriage and why she has extended her stay at the RV park. This compassionate and sweet story is part of the Wild Rose Point small-town romance series. Other interconnected stories in the series include stories by Maisey Yates, Delores Fossen and several other wonderful romance authors. While each story is standalone, the small town of Wild Rose Point in Oregon is just the place I would love to visit.
Many thanks to Lori Foster for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
