GRR Reviews Christmas Nights (Diamond Creek, Alaska) by J.H. Croix

Christmas Nights is a pretty standard holiday romance between two wounded people trying to find love. Both characters are pretty standard, one's too busy, other's too disillusioned. The push-pull is fine though.

Janie Stevens was crossing Kachemak Bay in Alaska when her boat listed and she was thrown overboard. She was rescued by hot paramedic/firefighter/good guy Travis Wilkes. Janie has problems trusting men because she watched her mother being abused by a stepfather (who eventually landed in prison). She was also busy raising an adopted daughter alone. But she can't get Travis out of her head. Travis was also too busy for love. His job kept him busy, and his downtime he spends with the guys. But Janie rattled his resolve to stay aloof. With approaching Christmas, perhaps the Holiday spirit and willingness to share their families may bring them together, permanently.

Pretty cozy and fun read, nothing too spectacular, but it's a well-polished novel with properly defined characters.
