Not Quite Christmas by Sharon KleveMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
This was a sweet story, but very short, both in terms of page length and the timeline. The whole thing took place over the span of only 2 or 3 days, which meant that the characters basically fell in "insta-love." As a general rule, I am not a fan of the "insta-love" plot, though some stories manage to make it work. Unfortunately, this one didn't work so well for me. There was no conflict or any obstacles for the main characters to overcome before they could be together, so I didn't really have anything to root for. Also, they didn't seem to have much in common besides the fact that their jobs both involved travel and their mutual desire to make it to Seattle before Christmas. That didn't give me a good feeling for the long-term viability of their relationship.
That being said, the story was well-written, and I would certainly read other books by this author in the future.
