I have been waiting for Luke's story ever since book one of the series, and with his brief appearance in this novella, the anticipation continues to grow!
The storyline was perfectly paced, and readers will be rooting for Connor and Shay to have their happy ending. Beautiful spiritual messages are incorporated throughout the novella, including a live nativity that several of the characters participated in. You and Me will definitely get readers in the Christmas spirit and is recommended for fans of contemporary romance!

This novel sounds precious, and I'm looking forward to reading it in this pre-Christmas period. I did date a nice young man for 3 years while in high school; I'd love to find out how he is from afar or close up. Yes, I lend my books to several friends, and they do return them.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd just like my youthful crushes from afar...less embarrassing that way! :D

Thank you for sharing your review!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to see my crush...I'm married and it would be awkward (I think) lol
I love lending my books and sometimes they never return - meaning someone needs them more ;)

I don’t think I would like to see a childhood crush/boyfriend in person, though I often wonder how many of my childhood classmates’turned out’ so to speak.
