Genre: Christmas Historical Romantic Suspense

Twelve days. Twelve gifts. One unlikely hero.

Wisconsin, 1930—When Manitowish Waters librarian Olivia “Ollie” Larson finds a package on the library steps, she expects the children’s books she ordered, not a taxidermied partridge. By the fourth gift from her unknown and unwelcome True Love, disappearing to her grandfather’s isolated cabin in the Northwoods is the only way she can escape him.

Deputy Titus Wilburn is happy to escort the lovely librarian to her grandfather’s house on his way to the neighboring Yarwood cabin. After all, he’s been smitten with her since they attended school together, and she needs his protection. However, the plan fails when Ollie’s uninvited suitor discovers her new location.

As the man’s actions become more desperate and his gifts more dangerous, an unexpectedly bedridden Titus decides to free Ollie from this menace, which puts the enemy’s sights directly on him. Ollie refuses to let her injured hero sacrifice himself, but with the days ticking closer to Christmas, she may have no choice but to accept whatever fate her suitor has in store for her if she wants to save Titus’ life.

One cabin in the Northwoods … a decade of Christmas miracles.

I really enjoy reading books that are a part of a series. I read Book 1 in this series so I was excited that Book 2 is now out. The Neighbor and the Gifts by Danielle Grandinetti is tBook 1 in the Christmas Cabin Series. I LOVE that a Christmas themed book was released in July. The book is a Christmas Historical Romantic Suspense genre.

I was immediately captivated by the storyline. The setting is 1930's in Wisconsin. The 2 main characters in this story are Olivia Larson and Titus Wilburn. Titus and Olivia have known each other since childhood and have a great friendship. Olivia is the Town Librarian and things get interesing when she starts receiving Secret Admirier gifts. Titus, who is the Town Deputy, decides to help her figure out who is sending these unwanted gifts. Olivia decides to leave town to a Cabin in the woods, figuring it would stop the gifts. The book is a short novella that packs a lot of action and a great story throughout the book. I really LOVED this book and how the gifts were associated with the 12 days of Christmas. The relationship with Olivia and Titus was so sweet. They knew they have feelings for one another and the Secret Admirer Gifts really had their friendship grown into a sweet Romance. The Christmas scenery and theme were very enjoyable. The book is one of Friendship, Mystery and Suspense, Romance and more. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Historical Suspense Romance books! SWEET BOOK!
