Review:

"Christmas Diamond" by Hallee Bridgeman was one of this author's Jewel Trilogy series. This was a quick read that was truly amazing and wonderful Christmas read with a 'blend of suspense and romance.' Be prepared for a bit of history and seeing another generation from the series in this short novella.. I really like the portrayal of this business world presenting such good Christian people.

From the story we find "TJ Viscolli is from a wealthy Italian family, Faith Green is a pilot for vintage aircraft, her grandmother flew with the original female pilots in the war." With TJ studies of history being his specialty it wasn't a big surprise that he was happy to find the granddaughter who was one of the original pilots in his father's hotel here in Key West, Florida. So, it wasn't a big surprise how these two would hook up. As a matter of fact Faith had saved TJ's life. What had happen? Now, I don't want to give to much away so it is here that I will say you must pick up "Christmas Diamond" to see how this author will present it all to the reader. The characters are all very well developed and likable only helping make this such a wonderful awesome read. ( )
