Merry Little Heartbreak by Stella Holt

Legacy of the Maquires, Book 5

Tule Publishing, November 14, 2023

Medical Romance/Holiday Romance

This year, they’re unwrapping the truth for Christmas…

Drake Maguire’s first love dumped him right before they were to move cross country for medical school. Now he’s made a name for himself as a plastic surgeon to LA’s wealthiest, even if it bores him. But this Christmas, he returns home to Virginia to pitch in at the same hospital as his ex. Could this be a restart for his career and his heart?

Margo Monroe can’t believe her bad luck. December should be a time to string twinkle lights and stockings in her ER, but instead, she’s dodging Drake’s questions and her urge to run her fingers through his hair. Yes, they broke each other’s hearts last time—yet perhaps throwing in the towel was a mistake.

But flirting leads to more than just words, and Margo needs her head in the game if she wants to expand her career in the new year. Are their emotions merely on call for the holidays, or is this attraction a symptom of something far merrier?

REVIEW

The Legacy of the Maguires continues with cousin Drake and his first love lost, Margo. A story of love lost, misunderstandings, forgiveness. I really enjoyed this couple and their journey back together. Secondary characters were also interesting and hope there are stories for Dalton and Ian. There’s tension, angst, and hot chemistry; all set around the Christmas season. Recommend this read as well as the previous books in the series.
