Harry Woolery, AKA: Harris Tweed, is guilt-ridden over the accident that killed Reverend Phillip Springfield. Harry accused Springfield of stealing from his church during his late night radio talk show. When the Pastor left to confront Harry at his radio station, he was killed in a car wreck. Nan Springfield is grieving for her husband and trying to make ends meet. Nan is sorting out the financial mess her husband left behind while trying to retain custody of her foster children, but she won't accept the gifts that Harris Tweed keeps offering. When Harry shows up on her doorstep dressed as Santa Claus and introduces himself as Harry Woolery, Nan doesn't realize that he is also the much-hated Harris Tweed. Harry doesn't enlighten her and they end up becoming friends...and much more. But when his true identity comes to light, Nan is devastated and vows to sue Harry for everything he has.
Stephanie Mittman is a hit and miss author for me. This book falls somewhere in the middle. Even though the premise is ridiculous, I was entertained by the story and wanted to see what would happen. I thought dragging the secret of Harry's true identity until the middle of the book was a little too long, but that is when I started to lose interest. I know Nan would be upset by the revelation, but she was over-the-top in believing what everyone else had to say about Harry except the man himself. In my opinion Harry made up for his mistakes by all of the things he did to help Nan and the kids. He protected Nan and the kids from the truth about Phillip, even letting her bring a lawsuit against him when he could have cleared the whole thing up. That kind of ruined the whole story for me. My rating: 2.5 Stars.
