I enjoy Debbie Mason romance books, I just can't help it! They are sweet, have drama and comedy, and fulfill all the wants I have for a great, romantic escape.

This book is set in the town of Christmas, Colorado (you know, like most of this series). We follow Skylar Davis, a freelance writer/blogger who comes from a powerful and rich family (but, you know, her part of the fortune is gone) and Ethan O'Connor, a political figure who is hot, has a family with strong opinions and seems like a nice guy. A one night stand between two buddies turns out to be quite the date because Skylar finds out months down the road she is pregnant. Having two opposing views politically doesn't help all that much for Ethan's campaign.

This is a cozy romance that is an easy read. It's a nice book to curl up and just sink into. It's not overly complicated, it is romantic and doesn't make you want to rip your heart out. It's a lovely read! Cute books with happily, ever afters make me really happy.

It's also easy to pick up as a stand alone if you don't want to grab the other books. You don't need to know anything about the other characters to get this story, it'll just make you feel all warm and fuzzy when you read about characters you recognize.

Three out of five stars! ( )

"It Happened at Christmas" by Debbie Mason

Book Description...

"Christmas, Colorado, will get you in the spirit for love all year long." --- Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author

Love is the best Christmas gift of all.

"Free-spirited activist Skylar Davis is out of money and out of options. After using up her trust fund trying to save the world, she hides out in Christmas, hoping the kindness of friends will help her forget the reckless actions of her past. All goes well . . . until she comes face-to-face with one of her mistakes: the town's gorgeous young mayor.

Ethan O'Connor likes his life drama-free and predictable now that he's about to make the move from small-town politics to the Colorado State Senate. Then Skye blows back into town, as impulsive and passionate as he remembers. If word ever got out about their night together-the night he's never been able to forget-the scandal could cripple his career. Yet as he starts his campaign, Ethan finds that, like the town of Christmas itself, he can't get Skye out of his head . . . or his heart."

What I liked about this novel....

I liked this series with the love story dealing with Skylar Davis and Ethan O'Connor. The first two series by this author had been of the friends...Madison Lane and Grace Flaherty...now we get Skylar's love story and what a beautiful place to have it happen in Christmas, Colorado. The description of this area as you read through this novel was simply beautifully presented.

This author gives the reader a excellent love story that can not only be read during the holidays but all year round. I really enjoyed reading this novel and how it was all presented in the well written story. It seems for a minute as though Skylar was at her lowest point in her life being out of money, but it was sheer enjoyment seeing the out come of it all. Ethan thought he had it all until he came involved with Skylar. With all his politics...running for the Colorado State Senate, his campaign manager, his mother and now his involvement with Skylar his life was about to change. Did Ethan see it all coming? Possibly not but when it all comes out what a life change for all of them all there in Christmas. Colorado.

I love how this author was able to bring in many of her characters from the first two series where you will find them all so lovable(some), well developed, interesting, funny, colorful, believable and in the end just a fascinating story to read. I found that these characters seem to come alive on each page as you read through the story.

There were several areas in this read that caused me to laugh out loud. The situation was so funny and I don't want to give any of it away other than to say you must pick up "It Happened at Christmas" to see for yourself how well this author gives us such a wonderful love story ( )
