A Season Of You by Emma Douglas - Cloud Bay #1 - Four Stars!

A Season With You (Cloud Bay #1) by Emma Douglas
I think I read the books in this series out of order, perhaps?  I thought for sure I had read about the festival at Cloud Bay before.  Either way, I hadn’t read this book.  Loved the romance at Christmas time!  Great story of a man who falls in love at first sight and never lets Mina Harris know, she’s married.  She lost her husband to a drunk driver and five years later Will figures even after all of this time she won’t want anything to do with a guy who runs a distillery even though it wasn’t his bar the fellow was drinking at prior to hitting her husband.  She has a freak accident and Will comes to her rescue.  She can’t get him out of her mind, and decides to have a wildly weird Christmas fling, it’s just mistletoe-inspired, right?  Only Will doesn’t believe that he’ll go along with anything if he can be with Mina even if it is during the Christmas Festival and they are supposed to go back to normal, going their separate ways at the end.  Can they, do it?  I never believed so although the story doesn’t take you in that direction.  You’ll have to pick up this passionate Christmas-inspired romance story to see how things happen and how they end up.  I know romances always have a happy ending, but do they?  Give it a read I think you’ll like it.

I received this book through NetGalley.com in exchange for an honest review.  It was in a kindle format.

Description as found on NetGalley.

It's Christmastime in the quaint island town of Cloud Bay, where love is always in season... Will Fraser has believed in love at first sight since the day he first laid eyes on Mina Harper five years ago. There was only one problem: She was happily married. Then, when Mina's husband was killed by a drunk driver, Will figured she'd want nothing to do with a guy who owns a whiskey distillery. So he's kept his feelings locked away, knowing that not even a Christmas miracle would be enough to melt Mina's heart. . . Mina believes her days of true love are behind her. Since losing her husband she's kept to herself, content to do her own painting and stay out of the limelight that comes with her famous family. But when, after a freak accident, Will comes to her rescue, Mina can't quite get him out of her mind. As curiosity turns into a fling during Cloud Bay's first Christmas Festival, she finds it harder to convince herself that her feelings for Will are just mistletoe-inspired. Could Mina be ready to lay the past to rest and finally admit that what she really wants for Christmas--and forever--is Will?
