Mine For The Winter
(Winterville #6)
by Carrie Elks
Christmas is coming, and second chances are in the air…
After more than a decade away, Kris Winter’s return to his hometown stirs up a storm.
Seeking redemption, he aims to mend the broken bond with Kelly Fraser, his childhood best friend, and the one woman he’s never been able to forget.
The strong-willed single mom is wary of his advances. When he left town all those years ago he barely said goodbye. And now it isn’t just her own feelings to think about – she needs to consider her son, too.
But as the holidays approach, Kris’s pursuit reignites buried emotions, challenging Kelly’s resolve to guard her heart.
Can she risk it all for him again?

Favorite Quotes:
Never cry over money or men.
Please don’t break my kid’s heart. Or I’ll have to twist your balls until you become a soprano.
None of us really know what we’re doing. One minute we’re kids without a clue, the next minute somebody’s putting this tiny human life in our arms and telling us we’re responsible for keeping it alive for the next eighteen years.
It was strange how the woman’s demeanor changed once she knew his name. She sat up straighter, touched the back of her hair. Pushed her tits out. Christ. “Are you here to visit?” Even her voice sounded lower. Like she’d just smoked a pack of fifty and was channeling Lauren Bacall.
A father isn’t the one who created a kid. He’s the one who’d do anything for him.
My Review:
I have relished each and every installment of this entertaining series while looking forward to more upon reaching the last page. Ms. Elks conjures endearing characters who are uniquely appealing yet realistically flawed and slots them into an unusual community that pleasantly occupies my gray matter, although I’d never want to live there.
Carrie Elks writes contemporary romance with a sizzling edge. Her first book, Fix You, has been translated into eight languages and made a surprise appearance on Big Brother in Brazil. Luckily for her, it wasn’t voted out. Carrie lives with her husband, two lovely children, and a larger-than-life black pug called Plato. When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found baking, drinking an occasional (!) glass of wine, or chatting on social media.
