Hearts In Winter
(Winterville #2)
by Carrie Elks
It’s Christmas time in Winterville – and second chances are in the air…
When Everley Winter lays eyes on her ex-husband for the first time in years, those are the last words she expects to hear. But it’s true, the paperwork never came through, and she’s still married to the man she thought was the love of her life.
Dylan never wanted to hurt Everley the first time, but a second time is unforgivable. He makes himself a vow to make her happy, no matter what it takes. But when he offers her a clean divorce things begin to get complicated.
When a project he’s involved in goes wrong, Dylan and Everley are forced to pretend they’re happily married. But the time they spend together reminds them just how good their relationship used to be – and how hot the chemistry is between them.
The only problem is, Dylan is due to leave town when Christmas is over, and Everley knows that they’ll be finished for good.
Which leaves her wondering about one thing. Is it possible to fall out of love with your husband all over again?

Favorite Quote:
Dylan and you were like Romeo and Juliet. You burned bright, but you ended in tragedy.
My Review:
Carrie Elks has a knack for pulling me in and involving me in her irresistible series with each installment being fresh and crisp even while updating and entwining the characters from the previous installments. She deftly and underhandedly does this so well yet each volume can still stand alone with strong and entertaining storylines. The community she has created for this series is unique, enticing, and appealing on all levels with multi-layered and quirky characters who are so well textured with surprising details and complications that they feel alive and are living and breathing on my Kindle during perusal. I covet Ms. Elk’s magical word skills and marvel that she has churned out two deliciously engaging holiday-themed small-town romances in a row.
I really need to catch up with her books as I read her first series and I think one other book but then no more. Great review. Glad you enjoyed it.
she is a new to me author and your as always amazing review (5 stars at that) tempts me
It’s the first time I am hearing about this author. The story sounds wonderful.
