GRR Reviews All I Want for Christmas (The McKinnon B by Jennifer Gracen

All I Want for Christmas try to set up some sparks between a couple for their rather unhappy reunion, but I simply didn't feel much heat.

Cassandra has it all... almost. She's one of the youngest assistant professors at NYU. She has an apartment she can afford and doesn't hate and a circle of girlfriends she can rely on. The only thing she lacked is male companionship, which she hadn't had after Sean broke her heart 7 years ago and ran for California. When Cassandra and friend walked into a bar, it turned out to be Sean's bar. Sean's back in town and she didn't know... and both were still raw from the hurt. Sean for walking away, and Cass for the betrayal. But Sean had changed a lot since. He's no longer the insecure kid that deals with problems with his fists (but he still doesn't like academics, except Cass) but Cass wasn't ready to forgive him just yet. It took her a long time to get over him, and she's not ready to be hurt again. But Sean's not letting go... and maybe this time... she's the one running away...

The ending was really meh, sorry to say. If all it took is a change of heart, the problem isn't that significant. Meh.
