bachelor because of the demands of his career However his decision to help Emery regain her confidence and footing is threatening that choice What happened to Emery is called revenge porn or nonconsensual pornography and there are laws against that in many states including California I appreciated the educational aspect included in this story as so many women are victims of this kind of assault and may be unaware that there is recourse Dallas focused on Emery standing up for herself going above and beyond in doing so He didn t try to have all the answers just being that rock when she needed one and getting her to reach out for legal assistance That aspect of the story was fascinating and was the foundation for their developing relationship It was a slow burn and needed to be which suited my sensibilities I don t know what it is about this series but I m forever hooked and drawn into the stories Watching Emery stand up for herself and recognizing Dallas s merits was empowering There were other issues going on involving Dallas s biological father Emery s parents and her former job I liked how it all connected with both characters growth and enlightenment There s also a nice surprise related to Aiyana that was an added bonus This was a wonderful story for the beginning of my holiday season Even though there are many uneasy moments the strength and resilience of this family seems to always override the conflicts I switched to the audio format after the first book and am still enjoying the narrator She s a good storyteller and delivers a strong performance Posted

help one another through some difficult times though right Southern California at Christmas okay not the cold snowy climate we often expect in holiday themed novels but the Christmas spirit is just as strong and important no matter where you live or what the weather is like In fact I thought the idea of setting a holiday story in sunny California was a great idea The characters each have heavy issues to face Emery is almost paralyzed by her predicament her ex is making her life miserable and her parents are going through a contentious divorce Dallas is coping with a guilt so consuming he can t live life to its fullest much less entertain the idea of falling in love and being happy with Emery I enjoyed watching the two face their fears accept the path their lives have taken seeing them give themselves permission to open their hearts to hope and love While the book does take place during the holidays and Christmas is mentioned periodically as with other Christmas books I ve read this year it is definitely not a prominent theme As I ve said before the bright side of that is the book can be read anytime of the year but I m still on the hunt for that emotional warm fuzzy heartwarming tale fully centered on the holiday featured in the title and on the cover I think I may have to hunt down some older books to find what I m craving Despite that I really enjoyed the story and liked the premise location and the characters and of course the touching love story For those who noticed this is a part of a series I have not read the previous installments and it didn t hamper my enjoyment of the book at all but did make me want to catch up with series someday Overall another lovely effort by Ms Novak 4 stars A California Christmas Silver Springs 7 Multiple story strains in
