#MMBBR #Review #FirstLine #CardinalCabin by @JoanneDeMaio @CreateSpace ‏

From New York Times bestselling author Joanne DeMaio comes a heartwarming novel as merry and bright as a red-feathered cardinal taking flight.

Frank Lombardo's never been spontaneous. The closest he's come was accepting a side job chopping firewood for a lakeside community of rustic cabins. But with another lonely holiday season imminent, Frank's sister urges him to be spontaneous because, seriously, who does he ever expect to meet out in the woods?

With a suitcase in hand and a bit of reluctance, too, Penny Hart arrives at Cardinal Cabin on Snowflake Lake. It's only for a brief stay, though nobody knows where she is. Not her boss, not her friends...

#FirstLine ~ "What's it all for, anyway?" Frank Lombardo asks. 

I love the holidays and I love books that make me long for the spirit and feeling of the wonderful holiday. DeMaio can really get to the heart of her characters and makes the reader really understand their point of view, which makes the reader feel connected to them. I adored this whole story. I loved the setting, the characters and the story. I loved that this story made me feel good, got me in the mood for Christmas and makes me believe in the power of love. DeMaio is a great storyteller and one not to be missed.
