New York Times bestselling author Lori Wilde returns to Twilight, Texas, with a love story filled with the magic of the season, about a couple who discover an abandoned baby on Christmas Eve-Eve. It's Christmastime in Twilight, TX. The lights are twinkling, carols are being sung, and the cookies are baking. And this year, best friends Joel and Jana discover a shocking surprise: as they are organizing the living Nativity, they find a sweet little baby in the manger with a note saying the mother will return...soon. Jana tucks the infant into her arms, and she and Joel make the impulsive decision to take the baby home. Jana is spontaneous, Joel is a planner, but they agree that it's better to care for this precious bundle for the holidays, in hopes that the mother really will come back by New Year's. As the days pass, the pair begins to fall in love with the child and they're also forced to face facts: their relationship goes far deeper than friendship. As the spirit of Christmas--and the magic of Twilight, TX--takes over, this unlikely couple must open up to the feelings they've been hiding from each other all along. … (mehr)

The basic storyline for this novel caught my interest: a baby is left in the manger of an outdoor nativity scene in Twilight, Texas. Two friends find the baby and become temporary caretakers for the child until the mother returns. Their partnership takes them on a journey of learning to trust and to accept the past and move on.

It is unfortunate that this fine beginning of the story quickly degenerated into a full-on story of sexual attraction and culmination in a very graphic manner. The constant sexual innuendoes and not-so-subtle desires rapidly eclipsed the main idea of caring for the baby. The overt graphic descriptions of intense sex were an unecessary distraction in what could have been a hilarious romantic comedy, and ruined the story for me. Readers should be aware of this content before picking up the book.

I received this novel from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own. ( )

SECOND CHANCE CHRISTMAS by Lori Wilde

Welcome to Twilight, Texas. It's where love has a habit of coming true. This is book 12 in the series, but since I've only read this title, I can honestly say that each book is a stand-alone.

Joel and Jana work together, they are good friends and they are in a case of mistaken identity. They are setting up the nativity scene at their local church and find a young baby in the cradle of the manger. A note says that the mother will pick up her baby on New Year's Day. Joel and Jana are neither married, and they don't really know what to do with a baby. It becomes a pleasant ordeal for them to get the proper supplies to be able to take care of the child themselves.

The mystery of a lost baby at Christmas time is a good fit. Highly recommend it if you enjoy stories set at that time.

Thanks a bunch to #netgalley #loriwilde #williammorrow #harpercollisnpublishers #avonbooks for the complimentary copy of #secondchancechristmas I was under no obligation to post a review. ( )
