The Promise Of Christmas

The Promise of Christmas is the tenth stand-alone romance novel by American author, Tara Taylor Quinn. Leslie Sanderson is shocked when her brother, Cal's best friend, Kip comes to tell her Cal has perished in a climbing accident. But shock turns to bewilderment when they learn that Calhoun Sanderson had a secret family: a son and daughter whose mother had died some months before. Now Cal's will states that he wants Leslie to adopt baby Kayla, while Kip is to adopt Jonathon.

While it seems the logical thing to do, sharing a house with her high-school crush and two young children is not something Leslie feels confident about. The children have more issues than the loss of their parents to overcome, and a dark secret that plagued Leslie's youth will need to be exorcised before this group can form a happy family. A sweet, if rather slow-moving romance that does not take a light-hearted approach but deals head-on with issues of incest and racial prejudice. 3.5 stars
