Emma holds an optimistic view of life while Thad chose to in the pain of his past. A recluse by choice, whose colleagues considered him cold and heartless. The deeper one goes into the story, the more one learns of the events in Thad’s past which led to his current behaviour. These events were quite heartbreaking. Because of this he felt worthless and believes without his career he was nothing.

The romance which developed between Thad and Emma will warm the heart. They were good together, but challenges in the form of insecurities and self-doubt threatened their budding romance. The moment of intimacy shared between the couple was quite tame, so don’t go into this one expecting any steamy scenes.

A Mistletoe Kiss in Manhattan was a delightful read which will have you believing in Christ miracles. It shows how childhood trauma can affect one’s perspective as an adult. It’s as story about healing, letting go of pain and embracing love.
