Silver Linings (Collier's Creek Christmas)

And the Christmas ARCs have started!!! Here's Nic Starr's "Silver Linings." It's a part of the multi-author series, Collier's Creek Christmas.

["This Christmas they'll get the most precious gift of all...

Cam
The holiday season is my favorite time of the year, but this year feels different. Greg and I have built a life together and now we’re ready for the next step—a family of our own. But when our plans for a surrogate seem unattainable, I start to wonder if the universe is telling us it’s not meant to be. It breaks my heart to think we might not have the child of our dreams. Still, when the snow starts to fall and Christmas comes to Collier’s Creek, I can't shake the feeling that something wonderful is just around the corner.

Greg
I’ve always been the realist in our relationship. After everything we've been through—my accident, Cam’s mom’s illness, the way life seems to keep throwing curveballs—maybe it’s a sign that we’re not supposed to have kids. But seeing the look in Cam’s eyes, his unshakable belief that we’ll be fathers one way or another, gives me hope. I’m not going to give up. I’m going to keep believing that having a family is just a matter of time."]

I'll be honest, I wasn't too sure about this one going in. There's plot, but romance wasn't the major driving influence. And I didn't want to read a book about a happy couple that might end up almost breaking up. However, I am so happy to report that I was wrong, on many accounts.

There was sooooo much love and support and dedication and devotion and fluff in this book. It shone off the page like Christmas lights. Their love wasn't easy, as we saw through a few minor flashbacks, but they fought for it and it's stronger because of it. And, like life, things aren't always smooth or easy, but they stood by each other and supported each other every day, even through the hard ones. 

And now I have to read the rest of this series... And the OG series...
