THEIR CHRISTMAS WISH COME TRUE by Cara Colter (HR #3983)
I know it isn't Christmas but this is exactly the sort of book to put one in the Christmas spirit any time of year!
SYNOPSIS: Christmas is coming and Michael Brewster is dreading it. His life is empty... until his neighbor suggests The Secret Santa Society. Michael's first contact with Kirsten Morrison, the driving force behind The Secret Santa Society, leaves him floundering and unsure. And yet day after day, he returns to volunteer. Will Michael and Kirsten find love this Christmas?
MY THOUGHTS: What a breathtakingly beautiful book! Cara Colter's writing is sheer poetry. Her use of the figurines as a metaphor for love is poignant and captivating. The images she creates simply spring to life as it was easy to see the story unfolding through both Michael and Kirsten's viewpoints. And oh, the humor at the varying opinions on the figurine collection! I could only sympathize with Michael at his reactions but I saw another side, a touching, almost heartbreaking side through Kirsten's eyes. After all, how many of us have wanted something we never thought we could have?
The emotional depth of this story is almost startling in its intensity. THEIR CHRISTMAS WISH COME TRUE perfectly captures the Christmas spirit in such a moving and tender way. Keep a box of Kleenex handy for this one as it's a real tearjerker.

I've read quite a few
I've read quite a few by this author and liked everything I've read. This one might be in the pile I'll have to check. It sounds great so maybe I'll save it till next year when I need to get in the mood. Now that my kids are grown Christmas is just not the same.

You all are not supposed to
You all are not supposed to get me excited about June HRs when I have 6 May HRs to read!
The back cover of the May books lists a Cara Colter book AND it is in that sub-brand (I think, I am still getting series and sub-brands straight) "By Royal Appointment" which was also the same for that book you liked, Debiw, English Lord, Ordinary Lady by Fiona Harper.
