Two people need the most amazing holiday miracle of all: love.

Enzu is determined to offer his orphaned niece and nephew the family he’d craved but never known, even if he has to pay a few million for a “loving mother.”

Audrey learns of her CEO’s crazy scheme and sees it as an opportunity to provide the high end education her brilliant brother deserves. Besides, she knows you can’t buy love and those orphaned children deserve better than the women Vincenzo Tomasi is going to draw with his multi-million dollar offer.

My Review:

All Enzu wanted was a “loving mother” for his orphaned niece and nephew, but he wasn't expecting to find love in none other than someone working for him, Audrey. Audrey is desperate to find a solution to her financial problem, so when she learns that her CEO is looking for a “mother” for his niece and nephew, she is determined to teach him that he can't buy love for the two orphaned children. As these two start to spend time together, they learn the meaning of family and most of all, love. 

From the very beginning, I was immediately pulled into the story, it's fast-paced and very entertaining. I enjoy reading both characters' back stories, it made the story that much more enjoyable to read. The author did a good job describing the story and tying all of the events together in the end. Although it seems like a Christmas story (from the cover), it is not. At least not until the very end, which I was completely fine with. Enzu is your typical tycoon trying to pay for whatever he wants and he is not stopping until he gets it. On the other hand, Audrey is caring and she has given up a lot of things to protect her brother. She is strong and independent women that made me connect with her even more. Overall, if you are looking for a good romance novel that is fast-paced and with a great ending I would recommend everyone to give this book a try.
