Shortbread Shakedown (Christmas Cookies) by Sofia Aves


 


Acting Brigadier General Dominic Cage returns from deployment ro Afghanistan and is met at the airport by a mysterious blonde bombshell that kisses him and presses some cookies into his hands and then disappears.  Crusty Cage returns to his old office and digs in to spend the rest of the holiday leave catching up on work.  But soon one of his friends introduces him to a relative who just happens to be VIolet.  She proceeds to include him in Christmas plans with her family and has the man head over heels for her but very dubious about the whole famliy thing.  It comes around to them making a commitment to each other and him buying in to the whole house and furniture and belongings thing that he has avoided all these years with multiple warzone deployments.  


I felt like this could have been a full fledged, fleshed out story.  It was too condensed.  I loved the premise and the characters but the plot could have been more developed.  A happy story that left me wanting more . .
