"Where better to spend Christmas than at the Castle Phantasie"

Teague has promised to give Jakarta a Christmas to remember, he hadn't taken the oath lightly. This time he wants everything perfect. If this didn't work, he had nothing else left to convince Jakarta to be his wife. He knew what kind of damage her ex-husband had done to her mentally. But Jakarta had such a fear of trusting her heart. Teague had one last chance.

Jakarta knew the moment she walked into the lobby of Castle Phantasie that she had walked into a wonderland of Christmas. A twenty-foot decorated tree in the lobby. Then there was their room, a tower suite that Teague booked a year ahead. Jakarta realized that he must have booked just before she turned down his first proposal. She knew he is getting tired to waiting for her to make up her mind... Could she give over control to another man after what her ex had did to her? Could she give up Teague? She had only this weekend to make up her mind.

A CHRISTMAS PHANTASIE is a quick look into a relationship of trust. After being hurt so many times Jakarta is afraid to let any man have control over her again. But then you have Teague who is the perfect man to relinquish control to. A great quick read, just right for this Holiday season, a great addition to the Ellora's Cave 12 Quickies of Christmas series (this is book 8). You won't want to miss any of the other days of Christmas.
