All he wants this Christmas is her...
In the small town of Crystal Lake, Christmas is a time for sledding, hot chocolate, and cozying up to the fire with those you love. For Jake Edwards, it's also time to come home and face the music. He thought there would never be anything harder than losing his brother. Turns out there is: falling in love with his brother's widow, Raine.
Ever since they were little, Jesse was the Edwards brother who was always there for her, and Jake was the one who knew just how to push her buttons. Raine can't imagine a life without them, which is why it was doubly decimating when Jake left town after his brother's sudden death. Now he's back and she doesn't know whether to be mad or thrilled. Maybe both. Or maybe it will be the perfect chance for both of them to finally find happiness again.

had promise
By bjsmith
I felt that this author really "got it" in writing about the grief the widow felt, of what the brother went through losing his twin, the parents grieving, etc. These parts of the book were well written I thought but as another viewer wrote this book is not your typical Christmas book. There was something about Jake & Raine that came across as being incestuous. I just couldn't get into Raine loving both brothers and Jake marrying his brother's widow. Had just a bit of eck factor to me. Then the fact of brothers serving in the same unit. I asked dear hubby and he said that the military does not allow that. I liked the book but just couldn't get into Jake and Raine as a couple and wasn't rooting for them to work things out.

CHRISTMAS HE LOVED HER
By Rad-Reader
Christmas He Loved Her what a fabulously written love story. It was a heart wrenching, painfully honest look at what a soldier and his family goes through when he comes home with PTSD. Yet, in this story it is even worse. Jake was in battle with his fraternal twin brother Jesse who dies in the battle.
And leaves behind Raine the woman they both loved so very much. You see the twins were a part of the group the Bad Boys that were well known in the small town of Crystal Lake. There was Jesse, Jake, Mac and Cain and one extra member that was an orphan that they all took under their wing, Raine.
She did everything with the boys and she was just one of the guys. Until the day she married Jesse. Then, both the Edwards, boys went to Afghanistan and left her a widow. In their sorrow Jake and Raine turn to each other after the funeral and then puff he is gone for over a year and a half now he is home and the anger they both have has to be worked through or can it? Will the love they once had for each other win out? They will struggle together to find out what it is that happen there on the battle field and here at home to make it all so bad.
I loved this soul searching, heartfelt, painful, loving, and tearfully happy Christmas story. One that will stay with me for a while. One that makes us forever grateful to the men and women that serve in the arm forces. For all that they live through and for all that they have to see there and then again and again her in their nightmares. I pray for your peace, joy and love that you mind, body and souls can heal that you too like this story can heal with a happy ending. I thank the Author for a wonderfully written story with a joyful ending if they all could end so well. This is some of the most heated up, hottest, sensual, emotionally binding sex scenes in a long time that it is gut wrenchingly hot. Be warned ladies and gentlemen. Provided by Netgalley.com

This one blew me away!!!!
By Pormmom
[...]
[...]
It has taken Jake Edwards a year and a half to return back home to idyllic Crystal Lake after his twin brother, Jesse was killed in action overseas. Jake had been part of the same unit and survived, but there were days he wished he hadn't. Frankly, he had avoided going home. Too afraid to face the pain in his parents faces, but especially to be confronted with Jesse's widow, Raine.
All Raine can feel is fury, when she sees Jake standing on her front lawn. All this time she never heard from him, she needed him and he wasn't there for her. Yet there is part of her that can't help being relieved he is here. Losing her husband and having his brother, her best friend, disappear from her life permanently, would have devastated her beyond repair.
The past year and a half has done damage to everyone. Raine is is a mere shadow of her former self, functioning only to appease the outside world and to take care of her grieving in-laws, but barely cares to take care of herself. And pain and guilt have become so overwhelming for Jake, that he has completely shut off from everyone, attempting to hide in work.
But when Jake's father becomes ill, and Jake finally returns home and is confronted with his parents and Raine, he realizes that he is done hiding. Buying and restoring an old local home is a catalyst for the reparations to be made in his life. With life long friends, with his parents and most importantly, with Raine, who he's loved all his life. She can see the monsters that haunt him and won't rest until they're gone, and there is only one way left for them to go........forward.
**********
OMG..... Within a few pages I could feel myself getting emotionally yanked into this story.
Such a devastating situation, with no easy resolution for anyone. You just know whatever scabs have formed have to come off before any of the wounds can heal properly.......for anyone involved.
Only 25% into the story, I felt such a strong connection with the two main characters, that my emotions would run the gamut along with theirs. This was NOT what I expected when I read the title of this book, but what an amazing surprise!
A family so intensely affected by the loss of one of their sons, lost in battle, who each in their own way, are trying to cope with the everyday life after.
The parents try to avoid thinking too much about the actual loss, about what happened and attempt to focus on what they have left; one son, and a daughter in law, who has always been more like their own daughter.
Raine who initially tries to find Jake for comfort, is forced to turn her grief inside and focuses on functioning instead. Mostly for the sake of her inlaws, for whom she is concerned, especially with Jake's absence. When her father in law becomes ill, even more responsibility comes Raine's way, she finally isn't able to hold herself together anymore, and her job falls a victim. Once Jake returns, and despite her anger at him, he returns some colour to her days, and her battle to regain herself begins.
Most conflicted in his pain and grief is Jake. Not only is he the single one person who was present when his brother died, but he has some serious doubts as to the state of mind his brother was in, and this is a load he has to carry alone. No one wants to hear what happened and he is not sure he can bear to tell anyone, but he aches to unburden himself. He also lost his brother, his twin and best friend. He grieved for his parents and felt guilt towards them. But again, most of the conflict he felt was with respect to Raine. He loved his brother's wife, couldn't bear to see her in pain and was unsure how to be the friend he had always portrayed to be when all he wanted was to be the lover he didn't deserve to be.
What struck me most about this book was how respectful it was of all of the different types of grief and how people deal with it. I really felt there was no judgement from the author, she just allowed the characters to handle it the way they needed to handle it. It may sound like it is a depressing story, but really it is not........it is quite a hopeful book, an incredibly realistic tale of the different ways of coping with loss and how we sometimes can be our own roadblocks in healing.
I had previously read a few works by Juliana Stone, and I knew she could write and that her steamy style appealed to me, but this one blew me away!! The book is not only incredibly moving, it is very passionate and sensual in all the right places!
I hope people will take the time to read this review and take my words to heart........this book is worth it!!!
✨A gorgeous, utterly compelling and intensely emotional read!!✨
