In this novella by Dawn Robertson, we get to see an inside look at how the holiday’s are spent with Star and Seven.

            Newly pregnant Seven brings her hubby, Levi with her to Star’s new home. Christmas is on its way and Chrome, Star, Magnolia, Scarlett, Levi, Seven, Paisley, and River are all sharing a house for the holidays. New relationships are formed, some relationships are strengthened, and of course, there’s lots of sex.

            Seven grew up with Star, living in a van as their parents went off doing who knows what. Seven decided that she would get her life on track and went to college becoming the CEO of two major companies in New York. Seven and Star have remained best friends for years, until she met Levi.

            Levi met Seven at an unconventional place. Even though Seven told him it would only be a one night thing, he fought for her. Now they’re married and expecting.

            Star is, was, a porn star. She was heavily into drugs and alcohol, desperate not to feel. One day, after getting into an altercation with Seven, she decided that she was going to turn her life around. Drop the drugs, stop with the porn, and find her daughter.

            On her journey to find her daughter, she met Chrome. Chrome is a biker, the person who you’d least expect to fall in love. From the moment he set eyes on Star, he had a feeling that she’d be his.

            River, Chrome’s brother, helps run the local motel in Woodstock, where Star is now staying. He helps take care of Chrome’s daughter, Scarlett, while he is away on business. He never thought he’d have feelings for someone, until he met Paisley, Star’s sister.

            Paisley experienced some hardship while she was in Florida. She traveled up to New York and found Seven, who brought her to Star. Spending a month with her sister, she was reserved and quiet. Star knows something happened, but won’t push until she knows Paisley is ready.

            Scarlett is Chrome’s daughter. Her mother passed away in a car accident so Chrome was granted custody. Scarlett quickly became best friends with Magnolia, Star’s daughter. Star was overjoyed at her new family.

            This novella gets four stars from me. There isn’t a lot of plot to this novella, though readers to get a chance to see inside the lives of these characters and to really get to know them better. The story just seemed pretty bland. As always, with Dawn’s writing, this novella is intended for those readers 18 years of age and older.
