Christmas Flirt is a beautifully touching and highly inspirational story of discovering a magnificent love completely by accident. No matter how many times I have seen it happen, it still amazes me that we find exactly what we always wanted and desperately needed long after we have finally given up on it. Our timetable means nothing to the things in life that shape and mold us. We can never control these things; power and money mean nothing to these wonderful intangible treasures. Instead, we have to be patient and wait until the time is right. Only then will we reap the complete, mind-blowing benefits that we were always meant to experience. Lacy Reed has never felt truly loved, wanted, or needed. She does all she can to attract attention that she hopes would someday bring her the love and belonging that she intensely craves. No matter how hard she tries, she still goes home lonely and alone. The pain in her heart is unrelenting and drives her to keep searching until she finds what she needs. When her sites are suddenly set on Brandon Cole, her boss’s boss, she pursues him unabashedly and unrelentingly until he finally acknowledges that there is something between them. Brandon Cole is a deeply wounded man who walks through his days in a haze of searing pain, deep longing, and forever regret. Underneath the hard façade he shows the world, is a beautiful man who holds backs a raging sea of desire and passion. The woman who can breach the tough fortress of his heart is one who matches his pain and longing in equal measures. The force of their restraint will unleash a tidal wave of emotion that neither will be able to predict the outcome of. A loving and devoted son, he longs for a woman who will truly love him for who he is in spite of his dark future. He is a tortured soul who wishes for some reprieve from his self-imposed prison of isolation. Is Lacy the woman who can finally bring him to his knees? Will Brandon choose to open his eyes to see the beauty, hope, and love that live within her heart and have enough courage to allow himself the chance at a love he has only dreamed about? I loved the characters in this book. Even though we only spend a short time with them, they leave a very lasting impression. Add in some crazy workplace drama, insane family antics, and a Christmas party that no one will forget, and you have a fun, fast-paced story that you will want to read every year. This is truly a beautiful, heart-melting story of love overcoming any obstacle. Your heart is sure to be warmed by its fiery passion and bursting at the seams with its unending love. Once again Rachelle Ayala has captured my heart with one her amazing stories! Her astonishing talent never ceases to entertain and leave me in awe. They are more than just words on a page. They are an offering of hope and light straight to our heart. I hope to be able to always enjoy her wonderfully, mesmerizing stories. They touch and reinvigorate my soul like nothing else can.
