About the book:
Melanie Bennett and
Detective Brian Morris met over a year ago when he solved her best
friend's murder case, and now Nashville's annual Christmas festivities
have them crossing paths again, could it be fate?
Melanie Bennett has spent the last six months in therapy to erase the self-assigned blame and eradicate the night terrors that plagued her at every attempt to close her eyes after witnessing her best friend's murder. The Christmas season always had a way of lifting her spirits, and this year is no different. The spark within her to live again couldn't have come at a better time when she and Detective Brian Morris are reacquainted, but first, she must believe that she deserves happiness.
Will the circumstances of how they met prevent Melanie from taking a chance on love?
Brian was drawn to Melanie when he first laid eyes on her over a year ago; he wanted to ask her out, but the timing was all wrong. Expressing interest in her when she'd just lost her best friend was tacky, but fate dealt him another opportunity when he walked into her hair salon delivering flyers for the annual stuff the cruiser toy drive a year later. Though Brian desires love, will his unresolved issues with his mother get in the way?
Every moment spent with one another can only be described as fate - a power beyond human control. Will this Christmas season bring about the healing and love both Melanie and Brian crave?
Fate is book 2 in the Perfect Time for Love Series (Sweet Christian Romance).

My review:
This was a sweet romance but I kept expecting something dangerous to happen. I haven't read book one and that probably would have helped since I didn't know what the situation was with her friend getting killed or if the bad guys were caught. The obstacles between them didn't seem too large and were easily resolved. The Christmas setting was magical and I liked the different activities they did to celebrate the season. I also liked that they both had a strong faith, discussed it and prayed often for guidance and wisdom. They also brought out the best in each other. There was a little bit about Brian's job as a detective and a couple things were left open-ended, which I wonder if might get addressed in the next book. You might enjoy it if you like sweet romances, especially at Christmas.
I received a free kindle copy of this book from JustRead Tours. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
