Cole For Christmas

Rating:
Summary: A few comments..
Review: Since other reviewer has already given synopsis, I will be very brief. This story really had potential but just did not live up to the "Harlequin Temptation" line. It's just not naughty enough. Anna giving Cole the brush-off became redundant. Cole's secret though revealed he never solved the companys problem-Anna makes a suggestion instead. Not major stuff but this story fits more into the Harlequin Romance line instead of Temptation.

Summary: pleasant Yuletide romance
Review: When he learned that Arthur Skillington was his biological father, Cole Mansfield moved to Pennsylvania to get acquainted with the man. Arthur asks Cole to do him a favor and quietly infiltrate his company as a new employee to learn why profits are lower than they should be, but not tell anyone that he is the boss' son. Cole detests the sham, but agrees to do the masquerade.

On Christmas Eve, Cole's supervisor Anna Wesley sees him still working long after everyone else has gone home to spend time with their respective families. On a whim and feeling sorry for his being alone for the holidays, she invites Cole to join her family for a holiday meal though she knows how her parents will react to her bringing home a handsome hunk. As Cole and Anna begin to fall in love, he worries how she will react once she learns the ruse he and his dad performed.

COLE FOR CHRISTMAS is a pleasant Yuletide romance due to the amusing antics of the lead couple, neither of which is prepared to fall in love. The secondary characters (their relatives) play matchmakers whose interference causes havoc for Anna and Cole, but enjoyment for the audience. Darlene Gardner gifts her fans with a fine holiday fare that is mistletoe fun.
