It’s Maggie and Clay’s first Christmas together…

***Spoilers for those who have not read Find You in the Dark or Light in the Shadows***

Clay and Maggie have gone through the dark and come out on the other side. For the first time, they are on this journey together. Fighting for something they both need and can’t live without…each other.

But a long distance relationship is hard. Particularly for two people who are still trying to build something solid on a shaky and troubled foundation. Clay is finally out of treatment and is living in an out patient halfway house. He struggles with what he wants to do and where he wants to go. Questions he worries he will never have the answers to. Maggie is trying to transition into college life and learning how to create a future with someone who is over a thousand miles away.

As the months pass and they struggle with being a part, old insecurities and fears take root and threaten a love that has come so far.

When Maggie decides to fly to Florida as a surprise for Clay on Christmas, she is unsure whether it will be the first step toward what they both desperately want or whether it could possibly be the end of it all.

But with the holidays approaching, Maggie and Clay are reminded that even when the days are coldest, you can still find the warmth and that hope and love are the greatest gifts of all.

My Review:

If you are a fan of Clay and Maggie, like I am, then you will love the Warmth in Ice novella. This was the perfect holiday treat for me. I fell hard for Clay and Maggie’s story. Theirs is among my favorite reads this year. So to get the extra special glimpse into what was going on in their lives while Clay was in Florida was perfect. Walters gives us just the right amount of sweet, seriousness, and mesmerizing love that I needed. I thought Clay and Maggie’s story was already complete for me at the end of Light in the Shadows. Little did I know that Warmth in Ice filled in the places I didn’t even know were missing. And then there’s the epilogue at the end that I didn’t know about. Just perfect. Clay and Maggie’s story will remain among my favorites and I look forward to re-reading their story in the future. If you have not read this amazing series, I highly recommend it.

5 STARS
