I actually read this story awhile ago as part of A Maine Christmas Or Two. I enjoyed it very much and even more so now that Cali has added a bit more to this sensual, steamy, erotic, heart melting romance between a heart broken shell of a man, Aiden who just happens to be hotter than *** which warms things up in a raging blizzard and the beautiful Chloe who is struggling with some personal issues too. Will this be a Christmas to remember or one they want to forget. The Mermaid Isle Series is wonderful. I have loved every book in that series!

A Mermaid Isle Christmas...

A delightful read. Short, sweet, sexy and heartfelt. Characters that are different levels of messed up but find love in a snow storm. You never know where love will find you.

What a Wonderful Story

This was a great book. The storyline was of redemption and love found again. Aiden had lost his Fiancee and unborn baby and never thought he would recover emotionally. It was very endearing. The characters were realistic and believable.

Sudden love

This is a short story with really fast feelings development. Chloe gets stranded at Aiden's during a snow storm. He's still hurting from the death of his fiance three years ago. She helps him move forward with his life and open his heart.

Aidan and Chloe get stranded in his home when she goes to retrieve a desk she had him make for her father as a Christmas present. Aidan is still struggling 3 years after his fiance' and unborn baby were killed in a car accident. Aidan blames himself for their deaths, even though it wasn't his fault. Chloe knows none of his back story, just that his brother Finn who was her friend in college said he is a loner. They both get to know each other and find themselves drawn into overcoming their self-doubts and fears. Aidan finally comes to the conclusion that Chloe has brought him out of his depression and wants her to stay with him, even though they have known each other only a few days. Chloe finally relents after she sees how much better Aidan is and she can pursue a new dream of hers, instead of still doing everything for her family despite her father's constant disappointment in anything she does. It had a nice holiday ending. I read it as part of the Naughty & Nice Holiday collection.

This is the 1st book I read by Cali MacKay. I loved the hot & steamy scenes. I felt sorry for Aidan. I loved how Chloe helped Aidan. This was a good, short, steamy Christmas story to read. Awesome job Ms. MacKay.
