About the Book
A Mother’s Christmas Wish
All single mom Jacey Tucker wants for Christmas is for her young son to have a home and a smile. What she never expected was an eviction notice from her apartment, or the loss of her job. Now she can’t leave Kindred Lake, Pennsylvania fast enough.
A Wounded Detective’s Second Chance
Zander Paxton, wounded on duty while trying to save the life of his partner, needs a new residence for the second half of his recovery. His hometown of Kindred Lake offers promises, but it may be too late to make up for his past.
She heads south. He heads north. In the middle of a blizzard, five days before Christmas, they collide and wreck their vehicles, and nearly each other, on an ice-covered road. The kindness of two strangers provides a cabin for shelter, a place where pain is soothed and hope is renewed . . . until their pasts catch up to their present and threatens a forever separation. Is true love ever mistaken?

My Review
Four Stars
'And You Came Along' was the first time I've read anything by Elaine Stock and I absolutely loved it! I'll definitely be adding this author to my watch list. This novella was really well written. I could feel the bite of the frigid blizzard conditions. I felt the characters emotions as if they were my own.
Jacey's having one of those days that goes from bad to worse. I ached for her and the situation she found herself in. Her little boy, Caleb, was adorable. It was abundantly clear how much she loved the little guy and would do anything for him. I immediately liked Zander. He's dealt with a lot, but is a very determined man. And I can't forget to mention Samson! I'm a dog lover, so of course, I loved him.
This was a sweet and touching romance that was perfect for putting me in the mood for winter and Christmastime. Highly recommend!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
Ashley, heartfelt thanks for this surprise and lovely review!! I'm glad you enjoyed Jacey and Zander's story. Have a joyous Christmas and a peaceful New Year.
