A novella for Emma and Mason's first Christmas
together after Wide Awake.
Emma knows better than most that life can change
from one second to the next. Mason knows that guilt can make you change so
much, that you don't even recognize yourself in the mirror. When they found
each other, they knew that life had given them a second chance.
But can one night, one second, one
misunderstanding change everything?
A life together that saved them will become a
life they think is lost forever.
My take...
Okay guys...this is Mason and Emma we are talking
about here. Of course I am going to read it and of course I am going to love
it. And love it I did. So very much! Crane once again shows us that she is a
queen at writing romance. She charms us right into a pile of mush with her
writing and swoon worthy characters.
Mason is more sexier in WIDE SPACES, if that is
even possible. He is absolutely one of the most romantic guys I have ever read
about. He knows what to say to make us ladies weak in the knees while
simultaneously sticking his foot in the mouth. Poor guy. And thanks to said
foot in the mouth he about loses Emma once and for all.

With all the things that have happened, all the
firsts that Emma lost with her memory, I wanted this first to be so memorable
she’d never be able to forget. I wanted that night so ingrained in her that it
could never be removed.
***
Emma is the same girl we all knew and loved in
WIDE AWAKE and I think I loved her a bit more in this one. Even in the short
time since we last saw her, she seems more mature. And rightfully so. The girl
is about to marry Mason and live happily ever after. Or will they? Finding out
that your soon to be husband feels guilty for loving you? Yeah that kind of
puts a damper on the whole love thing.
***
Her dad glanced over at me and back to her,
knowing there was something epic going on, but as much as I liked her dad, he’d
never understand. Emma and I had saved each other in more ways than one. The
way I loved this girl was epic and it changed the air around us with its
sparks. Shakespeare could write a sonnet just for her and it still wouldn’t
capture all the things I wanted to say.
***
So thankful to once again be able to read and
review another book by Crane. Absolutely worth the read. Got a bit a time? It
is a quickie that will have you laughing with its funny chapter starters and
some scenes will leave you downright heartbroken. Incredible job on this one
Crane. I loved it so.
OMG, now I am going to be heartbroken if there isn't a HEA for Emma and Mason #nervous :)
