Regan Martin stopped believing in Christmas miracles six years ago when she lost everything—her house, her job, and her impeccable reputation in the wine industry—after she fell in love with a man she had no idea was married. Then Regan gets a chance for a fresh start in the Napa Valley. With her dream job, dream home, and her daughter enrolled in a wonderful new school, she starts wondering if holiday wishes really do come true. But she soon tumbles back down to earth when she learns that her new boss is none other than Gabe DeLuca, the scorned wife’s brother. Gabe wants nothing more than home-wrecking Regan Martin out of his life, his sister’s world, and his family’s business. Mostly, he wants the lush beauty out of his head. Yet his attempts to run her out of town have him thinking twice, especially when he sees that Regan may hold the key to tracking down his sister’s stolen start-up capital. Even worse for Gabe, Regan might just be his Christmas wish and hold the key to his heart.

This was my second reading of this book. After a year I realized the next book in this series is available on the Kindle lending library to borrow and thought I'd give myself a refresher before reading the second book.
I remembered I really liked the book, but forgot how emotional the story gets. I always enjoy romance books when they can give me the "warm fuzzies" and this story sure delivered. Plus, I had many times I'd get that empty-feeling pit in my stomach because I just wanted to give Regan a hug.
Ms. Adair also does a wonderful job of balancing the hero character, Gabe. Yes, he is often a jerk to Regan in the beginning. But Adair is smart in her writing an redeems the character pretty quickly. Plus, it's easy to see his point of view once you learn his motivations.
I'm really looking forward to the next book and I'm really glad I decided to give this story another go.
