Description

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about romance, but for Mia, it has become a day for public humiliation. After her girlfriend stages a brutal, loud breakup in a crowded restaurant—claiming Mia is lackluster in the bedroom—the last person she wants to witness her misery is Colleen, her high school tormentor. Colleen has spent years trying to outrun her reputation as a bully, haunted by the memory of how she treated Mia years ago. Seeing her old rival at her absolute lowest, Colleen realizes this is her chance for redemption. What begins as an awkward encounter quickly evolves into an unexpected journey of reconciliation. Colleen is determined to prove that she has changed, though Mia remains rightfully skeptical of the girl who once made her life a misery. As they navigate the tension between their past and the sparks flying in the present, they discover that sometimes the person you hated most is the only one who truly understands you. My Valentine’s Gift is a steamy and spirited story of growth and second chances. Perfect for readers who love high-stakes emotional stakes, witty banter, and the transformative power of a love that defies the odds.

Great story!

Wow, for a short book, roughly 50 kindle pages, this packed a lot in! There was a meet cute, some baggage and history to get over, some “nah she only likes me as a friend” while everybody around does a double-take, some getting together, some trouble in paradise, a third party who saves the day… I mean, it was like a whole novel just on fast forward or something. I’d just been griping that nothing I’ve read between 10 and 50 pages quite hit the mark — there’s always something holding me back from an enthusiastic recommendation. But while this only barely squeaks into that range, I think I’ll count it just so I can say I’ve finally got a short story I’d be happy to recommend. Plus, it’s Valentines themed! So it can go along with The Perfect Match in my favorites for that as well. All in all, I’m quite happy I found it. :)

From bully to girlfriend!

Colleen runs into Mia in a restaurant on Valentine's Day and witnesses her girlfriend very publicly breaking up with her. Grabbing this second chance, Colleen convinces Mia to go have a drink where she apologises for her bullying behavior as a child. Colleen comes from very unaccepting, ignorant and bullying parents where as Mia comes from a very warm and loving mother Juanita who is a social worker. I think because of Mia's nurturing environment, she is able to forgive Colleen more quickly than the average person. This helps propel their relationship forward quite quickly. My favorite line in this book is when Mia's mom says to Colleen, "Your parents took away your childhood, don't let them take away your adulthood." I enjoyed this novella but only wish it could have been longer!
