About this ebook

This year, they’re unwrapping the truth for Christmas…

Drake Maguire’s first love dumped him right before they were to move cross country for medical school. Now he’s made a name for himself as a plastic surgeon to LA’s wealthiest, even if it bores him. But this Christmas, he returns home to Virginia to pitch in at the same hospital as his ex. Could this be a restart for his career and his heart?

Margo Monroe can’t believe her bad luck. December should be a time to string twinkle lights and stockings in her ER, but instead, she’s dodging Drake’s questions and her urge to run her fingers through his hair. Yes, they broke each other’s hearts last time—yet perhaps throwing in the towel was a mistake.

But flirting leads to more than just words, and Margo needs her head in the game if she wants to expand her career in the new year. Are their emotions merely on call for the holidays, or is this attraction a symptom of something far merrier?

Ratings and reviews

MERRY LITTLE HEARTBREAK is the fifth instalment in Stella Holt’s contemporary, adult LEGACY OF THE MAGUIRES erotic, romance series. This is plastic surgeon Dr. Drake Maquire, and ER physician Margo Monroe’s story line. MERRY LITTLE HEARTBREAK is a story of misunderstanding and miscommunication, love and loss, second chances and happily ever after. The premise is inviting and imaginative; the characters are animated and spirited but Margo was difficult to like in the early pages.

A second chance is Drake’s aim when he reconnects with Margo. Sparks fly all over the place but there is a well of hurt from their past in Margo’s heart. Drake is persistent in pursuing her and as she faces her feelings, there is much to gain or lose. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

An enjoyable story of second chances not to be missed Merry Little Heartbreak by Stella Holt. It could be read as a standalone but it is better to read the previous books in the series to know some of the backstories. This book is fifth in the Legacy of the mcguire's series. I look forward to read more by this author.
