A Match Made at Christmas by Patty Blount

Kara had strengths and weaknesses that made her real, made me want to know her and be one of the people that she called a friend. There were times that I felt an irritable itch when she moved too quickly with Reid, but when it came down to it I know that sometimes love doesn't wait. Well, most of us have been burned in some way, shape, or form and Kara had that down too. She is basically the character that any mother can relate to.

There was never a doubt in my mind that she was a great mother and the person that fears she is not doing it right. She was beyond easy to relate to and was well written. Although this bothered me and left me wanting to scream at times, I guess that's sometimes the progression of things and the plot was good overall. There were times everything felt like a yo-yo. However, with having a child I found myself getting irked when Kara or Reid would pull back, only to decide the day after or week that they were wrong.

I could forgive how fast it moved because fate has its own ideas and I feel as an adult you can make an educated decision on how you feel. My one little problem was the jumping back and forth of the relationship. The pacing was enough to keep me consistently interested. There is nothing easy about raising a child on your own and Blount nailed the first time mother worries. I have a lot of love for this book and I know that I will come off partly rant like, but when it comes down to it I didn't want to put this book down. There were many ups and downs, but romance is seldom easy and Blount had no intention of painting a beautiful picture without going though some rough drafts. Patty Blount really pulled out every heart racing, heart stopping and heart filling moment anyone could ever want. His Touch was a touching and emotional read. They swept through him like a god damn tornado, leaving destruction in its wake. He sat there, cursing himself for letting his emotions escape their locks. He especially couldn't help anybody with a kid. Like calling the Mona Lisa a picture of some woman. Calling it a kiss seemed insulting somehow. If that was insane, Kara wouldn't trade a second of it. Nadia was a bright, beautiful, perfect little girl who ruled her world with pudgy little hands and sticky kisses. Doesn’t he know being a single mom is a lot harder than it seems?! But when baby Nadia has trouble breathing one night, Kara’s frantic 911 call brings that same intense first responder right to her door… When a strikingly handsome paramedic finds Kara Larsen‘s lost toddler, only to lecture her for failing to mind her child, Kara is embarrassed and relieved she’ll never have to deal with him again… no matter how good looking he is.
