Story: The Unexpected Gift
Author: Dee Holmes
Rating: 3.0 stars
Review: I ended up liking this one about the same as the first story in the book (as in, not all that much), but in the spirt of the season, it gets an extra half star because I didn't feel like I was in danger of getting a cavity while reading it. Basically, the MC's ex-boyfriend shows up passed out in her front yard. This somehow makes her realize she still loves him. He takes awhile longer to come to the same realization. Asshole ex-husband shows up briefly to try to win her back, and there's a cute kid. This was a super short story, and I didn't feel like I had a handle on any of the characters, so it was really hard to connect to them.
