Silver Linings (Collier's Creek Christmas) by Nic Starr

Part of the Colliers Creek Christmas edition. In Silver Linings we have a established couple trying to expand their family.


From the blurb:

This Christmas they'll get the most precious gift of all...

Cam

The holiday season is my favorite time of the year, but this year feels different. Greg and I have built a life together and now we’re ready for the next step—a family of our own. But when our plans for a surrogate seem unattainable, I start to wonder if the universe is telling us it’s not meant to be. It breaks my heart to think we might not have the child of our dreams. Still, when the snow starts to fall and Christmas comes to Collier’s Creek, I can't shake the feeling that something wonderful is just around the corner.

Greg

I’ve always been the realist in our relationship. After everything we've been through—my accident, Cam’s mom’s illness, the way life seems to keep throwing curveballs—maybe it’s a sign that we’re not supposed to have kids. But seeing the look in Cam’s eyes, his unshakable belief that we’ll be fathers one way or another, gives me hope. I’m not going to give up. I’m going to keep believing that having a family is just a matter of time.

Silver Linings, a heartwarming holiday romance, filled with love and hope and the sweetest gift of all.

Celebrate the holidays with the men of Collier’s Creek, where magic fills the air and irresistible romances are the highlight of the festive season. Six low-angst romances, each filled with heartwarming moments and swoon-worthy romance.


Molly Otto's review:

A beautiful story in an established couple working on their dreams of having children. Cam & Greg have a beautiful relationship that experience true dilemmas in expanding their family, which is highly appreciated that it wasn't an easy ride. Made the story feel more real rather than fiction. Colliers Creek is a beautiful town that I wish all small towns had the charm and acceptance in. It is a well-balanced story of an long established couple going through the bumps that we all call life.

Heather's Review:

I don't typically read books with established couples but, since I'm committed to reading the Collier's Creek Christmas series, I made an exception this time and I found the story being told of Cam and Greg's next chapter with it's ups and downs was a very real story and the ending was hopeful and definitely in the holiday spirit.  It's a well balanced story and if you're like me and wanting to complete the Collier's Creek Christmas second season, you'll want to nab this book.
