Claire's Reviews > Three Nights before Christmas

4 - "I don't know why it's you... and I wish like hell it wasn't." Stars!

I really enjoyed Three Nights before Christmas, it is always a pleasure to return to the town of Marietta, Montana and it’s inhabitants, and Kat Latham, gave Austin and Lacey and absolutely stellar story for me to sink my teeth into.



I think what made this little novella such a treat is the fact that it was quite unusual in its tropes, the ex-con and the man who helped send her to jail falling in love, over the rebuilding of a steam train.

Lacey was a strong and sassy woman, hardened to some elements in life due to her time spent in prison, and Austin operating under pre-conceived assumptions about her due to her conviction were a really great couple, both strong mentally, but also vulnerable as well. It was good too read of the gradual building of the relationship for this couple in-spite of the issues that initially were between them.

A really great read, sexy and a little emotional at points, and a really likeable couple to boot. It also gives you a little insight into Lacey’s brother Sawyer, whose story is told in Sarah Mayberry’s Christmas novella His Christmas Gift also available now.
