Will he be able to grant her the greatest gift of all?

Amazon Reader Reviews of ‘Romance: “Christmas Healing“ A Young Adult Romance with Vampires, Teen paranormal romance, Christian Christmas Fiction book as a Love Story’:
“What a great premise full of conflict and drama. A powerful vampire family, juxaposed with a young human who is powerless from illness and largely without family support. A vampire depressed because he is immortal, and a heroine flickering on the edge of her own immortality. In many ways Arthur and Annalise are classic ill-fated lovers, he’s full of the past and the future, she only has today. I love the details of the story, the way her job is to teach him about everything he needs to be caught up on from the last 1000 years which makes you look at everything from malls and elevators and “phones with intelligence” to Christmas traditions from an interesting point of view. Annalise’s kindness and fragility inspire a lifeforce healing in Arthur. The fall in a tender, hopeless love full of obstacles (including other interesting characters) that feels hopeful and full of grace at the same time. I really liked the way the story moves forward, with the way you find yourself rooting for this romance, and with the way the pageturning pull builds the tension. All in a all a charmer of a paranormal romance.”
“I must say that I love this heartwarming story and finds little to no fault with it. I was simply glued to the book till I devoured the whole book. The prose is very well written, the dialogues are superb and the story plot is original. I really love the character development and the story progression throughout the whole book. Although the characters aren’t entirely human, you can still feel them facing challenges like any human would. Their emotion is very real and readers can relate to it. This is a great vampire romance novel that you will enjoy reading. It was fun to read and a pleasure to recommend.”
“I think anyone who enjoys live, life, and death read this book. The characters and storyline are amazing and it warmed my heart.”
“By turns funny, nostalgic, romantic, tense, and even corny sometimes this story made me cry big fat satisfied tears. The paranormal flavor just adds spice to this romance that in the end will make you cheer for true love in all its forms. A great read.”
