It's Christmas in
Twilight, Texas. The Cookie Club is baking, the town is decorated, and
Delta Force Operator "Hutch" Hutchinson has finally, reluctantly,
returned home . . .
. . . only to get pepper sprayed by the
delicious- looking stranger who's taken over his house. She says her
name is Jane, and she immediately sets down ground rules. Top priority:
no touching. For Hutch that isn't easy—he was wounded in action, but one
part is still working very well.
Then Hutch learns the
truth. Jane harbors a frightening secret—she's really Meredith Sommers,
on the run from a dangerous ex-husband and desperately in need of the
safety Hutch can provide. In that moment, he vows he'd do anything in
his power to protect her. And as Christmas approaches, they discover
that their love can conquer the past and overcome any obstacle—but what
price will they pay?
MY REVIEW: Rich
with emotion and longing, "Christmas at Twilight" is a touching holiday
addition to author Lori Wilde's popular "Twilight, Texas" series.
Captain Brian "Hutch" Hutchinson, war-wounded, and scarred inside and
out, is discharged from the Army after being the lone survivor of the
battle which took the lives of his men. Unable to speak and suffering
from PTSD, he has no place to go but back to his home in Twilight, TX.
His sister and young daughter have been living in his house, but that's
not who greets him once he makes it home. Instead, a small,
uber-defensive woman blasts him with concentrated pepper-spray, and the
neighbors who know him as a friend have to come to his rescue. After
realizing her mistake, Meredith Sommers does what she can to make
amends--not easy with someone she has just disabled, especially when the
man can't speak. As soon as she is able, Meredith, who goes by the name
"Jane Brown", explains that Hutch's sister Ashley had taken her in
after her van had broken down on the side of the road. Ashley's
daughter, Kimmie, and Jane's son, Ben, had immediately bonded, and
staying at Ashley's house turned out to be the break she needed.
Unfortunately, Ashley, who has emotional issues of her own, has just
taken off to Mexico with a man she just met, leaving Kimmie and the
house in Jane's care. Hutch communicates to Jane that the house is
actually his, and seeing that he will need help with his niece, he asks
Jane to stay. They work out an agreement, Jane's rules apply--or nothing
doing, and they both agree to make a happy holiday for the children.
"Jane" is not fooling Hutch, however. He knows walking-wounded when he
sees it, and he hasn't missed her own scars and her attempts to alter
her appearance. That doesn't keep him from being attracted to her, a
feeling which he knows is mutual. Meredith can't help but being drawn to
Hutch, and that scares her because he makes her vulnerable with the
feelings of need he stirs. Meredith can't afford to let her guard
down--she's "Jane", and she's on the run from a danger as real to her as
the nightmares which haunt Hutch. Can these two hearts find healing and
mutual support with each other? Can passion and love and a lifetime of
happiness be theirs for the taking? Author Lori Wilde has written a
beautifully poignant holiday love story which will resonate in the
hearts of readers.
