Twins Zeke and Zach have their wish list ready for Santa . . . and Christmas is still months away. But they have a special request this year . . . and they’ve been very good.
Nothing is more important to single dad Mac Taylor than caring for his boys, but he has no idea how much change the gift they’ve requested will bring to all their lives.
Readers may find this quick-read novella to be a bit on the predictable side, but the enjoyment is in seeing the story unfold through the eyes of the children. This delightful tale will remind readers that wonder and joy are part of the magic of Christmas.

I think this is only my second Nora Roberts book, but I sense a theme of beautiful people falling in love with each other. Zeke and Zack Taylor decide that for Christmas they want a mom. They write Santa early in the fall so that he has time to find them a perfect woman for their dad to fall in love wit. When Nell Davis moves to their small community as the new high school music teacher the twin boys are smitten. She's beautiful and nice and they are certain that she's the one Santa sent. Their dad, Mac does notice Nell and the attraction is mutual, but he's so worried about hurting his boys or having a woman walk out on his boys that he's not sure if he even wants to purse things with Nell. Will the boys get their Christmas wish or show more not. Predictable and cheesy, but okay for a holiday novella. show less
Eh. For what it was, it was just okay. Nell really got on my nerves--she seemed to think that she was owed more than she actually should have been early on in their relationship--especially before they even had a relationship--and her attitude annoyed me. I know this is an early book (the boys talk about watching a tape of The Little Mermaid), but neither this book nor the more recent one I read by her really did "it" for me. Disappointing.
A very sweet tale of what a pair of motherless twin boys want for Christmas. They write a letter to Santa, detailing all the criteria of THE (new) mom!
