Description:
You can go home again…
After a painful divorce from her high school sweetheart, triplet Jenny Weaver returns to River’s Edge with her young son. While happy to be reunited with her sisters and working at the family’s marina, she has no intention of jumping into the dating pool, especially going into the holidays. Then Gabe Dawson, once a shy nerd who tutored her in history classes, arrives home transformed into a handsome hunk who makes her pulse race.
Archeologist and history professor Gabe Dawson thought he’d long ago outgrown his teen crush on Jenny. Back in town for a few months to help his mom post surgery, he can’t resist reaching out to Jenny. She’s as beautiful, warm, and funny as he remembered and soon Gabe is reconsidering his future.
Gabe is determined to seize this second chance, but can he convince a very wary Jenny that a globe-trotter is ready to come home for good this Christmas?
Review:
Christmas in River’s Edge by Nan Reinhardt is the 3rd book in her wonderful Weaver Sisters series. Christmas in River’s Edge, revolves around the third Weaver sister, Jenny (they are triplets). River’s Edge is a small town that has a wonderful community. It was great to see the Weaver sisters again, as they are such a wonderful close-knit family.
Jenny Weaver, our heroine, is a divorcee, with a young 8-year-old son, Luke. Jenny works for her family’s marina, and is happy to have her sisters around for the holidays; though Jo is moving to be with her boyfriend, Alex. Jenny is not happy though when her ex, Tuff decides to return to River’s Edge, and wants to spend more time with Luke. She is happy to see Gabe, arriving to help take care of his mother and work on a rig in town. Gabe and Jenny always had a crush on each other during their high school days.
Archeologist and history professor Gabe Dawson always thought he got over his crush on the beautiful Jenny Weaver, but one look at her has him totally enamored with her. Gabe started spending more time with Jenny, and he finds himself very attracted to her, as she was warm, friendly and funny to be with. In a short time, they both become very close, especially with the wonderful chemistry between them. Gabe also becomes close to Luke, and is not thrilled with Jenny’s ex’s attitude, as well as his overall behavior. Things will blow up when Tuff takes Luke to visit family, and Jenny gets a call from her son, crying that he is alone. When Gabe and Jenny go to where the boy is, it is Gabe who will find Tuff, but Jenny is the one confronts him to change his ways or else. I loved Jenny and Gabe together, as they made a perfect couple.
Christmas in River’s Edge was a wonderful, fun, sweet romance and heartwarming story. It was great to see the Weaver family together for the Holidays. I love the sisters, who were so close.
Nan Reinhardt gives us a wonderful couple, as well great secondary characters that were so likable, with a terrific atmosphere in this small town. Christmas in River’s Edge was so very well written by Nan Reinhardt, which is no surprise, as I loved her last book, as well as her previous series. If you enjoy a sweet romance, wonderful couple, great secondary characters, and pure fun, I suggest you read this book. I look forward to the next book in this series.
