I love when a book can transport me into the world I am reading. And that is exactly what Rebecca Rohman did with A Problematic Christmas Love. It was emotional, dramatic, suspenseful and I was hooked from the heart wrenching opening.
I'm not going to lie, I forgot how much I liked Megan and Daemon. They are both so smart and generous. And Daemon's gesture to try and bring Megan out of her funk was a ticket straight to swoonville. I really enjoyed the bits of holiday whimsy laced in with all the trouble that Megan and Daemon were facing. While some of it their own making, some of it wasn't.
It was a perpetual winter wonderland with the gorgeous landscapes Rohman painted. And the icy vibe only added to the overall feeling for foreboding that was looming. I loved that there were a few ways the danger angle could've played out. But at the center of it all was this love between Daemon and Megan that tragedy, half truths and malintent couldn't derail.

This was quite a quick read but filled with content, I really enjoy Rebecca Rohman's style of writing.
Millionaire businessman Daemon Ross and his lawyer wife Megan are growing apart, the intimate side of their marriage is practically non existent but they are still in love. Their young daughter had died suddenly and without explanation and Megan can't move on.
Turmoil hits the Ross household in the shape of Belinda, Daemon's ex wife, why is she stalking him ? Megan is convinced that Daemon has a secret, is he having an affair with his ex wife or are things more sinister than that ? Are their lives in danger and if so who is behind it ?
This is a heart warming story of a couple who had faced tragedy , can they come out the other side stronger than ever ? Can they learn to share their secrets and their worries ?
This is a story of love that a man has for his family, his generosity and the lengths that he will go to to protect them. The author's beautiful description of the stunning Swiss countryside was spot on, having visited that area many years ago it brought back lovely memories of the mountains, the valleys and the spectacular waterfalls.
I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

I was given this Arc by the author for an honest review and I must say it did not disappoint
Rebecca Rohman’s wrote such a telling story of love, regret, understanding, grief and compassion. In her newest novella, A Problematic Christmas, she had me grabbing for the tissue box by page 2. Grappling with such an immense loss, finding oneself back can be a tricky thing. But with the characters that Mrs. Rohman creates, you become engrossed in their lives while reading this book.
The author left me in suspense and wondering what would happen next. I loved all the characters except for one, which was definitely warranted. The location of the book had me wanting to book a ticket to Switzerland yesterday.
If you are looking for a outstanding quick read that hits all of the emotions, look no further.

A Problematic Christmas Love by Rebecca Rohman is a follow up to A Problematic Love. This book brings you back to your favorite cast of characters from the Love on the Pacific Shores series. The story deals with some very real emotions and some of the deepest loss any parent can experience. Daemon and Megan work to get back to themselves and heal from this loss. The story is very well written. As with all of Rebecca's stories you can expect an roller coaster of events and emotions all while exploring scenic Switzerland. I love that along with a bit of suspense (and some steamy scenes) you get to go on a grand adventure in her books.

It’s anything, but a peaceful Christmas for Daemon Ros and his wife Megan.
Still grieving the loss of their daughter Summer, Daemon hopes to brighten the holidays by inviting the couple’s family to their home. As the group embarks on a holiday vacation, Daemon and Megan find their lives threatened when a business nemesis and an ex begin stalking the couple.
I’ve read several of Rebecca’s books in the past and she knows how to write romantic suspense. Your heart aches for Daemon and Megan upon learning about their loss. Their grief is still fresh, and it’s leading to distance growing between them. Rohman does a great job of capturing the sadness and anger the two are feelings as they accept Summer’s death along with the new threats to their family.
With someone out to destroy their family, Daemon and Megan must figure out who the culprit is. Throughout the story, I was going back and forth trying to determine who it was.
Aside from the suspense aspect, there’s also the romance and holiday themes. I loved reading about the family’s trip across Switzerland and the adventures they had along the way. Reading it made me wish I could experience the sights and sounds with them.

I love Rebecca Rohman's books and was excited to read more about Megan and Daemon Ros. This book takes place a few years after they have married and they have suffered a terrible loss.
Daemon is such a sweetheart! He knows how much his wife is still hurting and she doesn't want to celebrate Christmas. He also knows what she needs and rearranges their Christmas plans and the trip they take is magical. Or should I say could have been!
The imagery Rebecca writes had me visualizing the beautiful scenery as they traveled through Switzerland. I wanted to see the Matterhorn and visit the picturesque towns with them. But there was also danger and suspense along the way. We were not sure from where it came, as there were a couple options.
Watching Megan heal and come to terms with her loss was heartwarming. I loved Daemon and Megan getting closer again and the Epilogue was PERFECT! I loved this book! FIVE NO PROBLEM STARS!

A Problematic Christmas Love is another great book by Rebecca that was emotional, suspenseful, and well written.
Rebecca always sucks me into her stories and this one was no different. The aspect of suspense had me on the edge of my seat while the emotional aspect really tore at my heart. I wanted to hug the characters and tell them it would be ok.
The writing was descriptive and detailed portraying a beautiful setting I wanted to be in.
The plot and characters were well developed and clearly thought through.
And the romance warmed by heart.
As with all Rebecca’s books this is a must read.
An arc was provided for an honest review.

Megan and Daemon are an amazing couple but life has thrown them a horrible curve ball. Megan is struggling to cope with her grief so Daemon surprises her by flying her family to visit in Switzerland to enjoy all the sights. The adventures Daemon planned are fabulous and exciting but that is not all the excitement that they get. Suddenly, there are threatening messages, break-ins at their properties and Daemon’s ex seems to be stalking them. I was swept away as I got to experience and explore Switzerland while being taunted with a compelling mystery. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Absolutely wonderful! Rebecca Rohman has set the story in such beautiful scenes. The attention to details allows for the "picture" in my head to be so vivid. This story of recovery, family, suspense, edge of your seat, nail biting and wonderful! Daemon and Megan and their family have had one heck of a year. A Christmas getaway with the entire family is supposed to help with all the feelings , but what follows them is shocking! How well can this family deal with everything? I loved EVERYTHING about this story. I would recommend reading!

Oh Rebecca thank you for taking us back to visit with some of my favorite characters. Megan and Daemon are once again taking us into their world.
Daemon is such a caring husband and he knows that his wife is still grieving the loss of their little girl. Their family and love has been tested and strained. She may not want to travel to see the family for Christmas so he will bring them to her. She will find herself surround her in their love and support. It will be a holiday filled with love, laughter, adventure and yes a bit of angst and mystery!

October 1, 2020A Problematic Christmas Love immediately grabbed and kept my attention! With such a beautifully written, well thought out and carefully executed storyline why wouldn't it have? This is the kind of book that will have you so immersed that you can't help but get emotionally involved with each character in one way or another. Some will have you hating them while others will have you in tears sympathizing and/ or empathizing them (depending on how you relate to their story). I laughed, cried, worried and even screamed throughout each stage of this book. Also, the attention to the all the little details was outstanding! So much so that you could easily visualize the different locations and their surroundings as though you were right there with the characters. Trust me when I say A Problematic Christmas Love is a quick but powerful read. I very highly recommend this book. Definitely a must have!

Daemon and Megan are back for a further look into their lives. We join them after an unbelievable tragedy that has wrecked them completely and they are struggling to come back from. Megan has cut herself off from everything but work and home. But even at home she is distant and Daemon feels her slipping away. In the hopes of helping them all heal, he brings their families over to Switzerland for Christmas. Daemon knows that Megan needs this. It is a fantastic plan and incredibly sweet, thoughtful and kind of him. Unfortunately what he doesn't realise is that an attempt to be nice to his ex-girlfriend is going to come back and bite him. Yep, the man didn't think about the consequences of helping her but bigger than that Megan was unaware that she was back in his life.
As they start their Christmas journey through the scenic winter wonderland of Switzerland, it is apparent that someone is out to ruin Daemon's plan of bringing his wife back to him. Their is danger afoot that is potentially coming from more than one foot. It is this danger that could potentially lead to catastrophic results.
Rebecca Rohman made me feel from the first page to the last. Get your tissues at the ready. In addition it is a real page turner as you are kept on the edge of your seat, biting your nails waiting for the next danger to be thrown at them. It did not lose its sense of romance and this was actually heightened by the scenery and the journey that they go on, even though their family is with them. It is a journey of hope and healing. It is a journey I loved.

This story is amazing, The attention to details really blew my mind, I loved how it made me feel like I was there in the story with everyone. I was hit by an emotional train during the story, that was one ride I wasn't expecting but it kept me turning the pages and wanting more and more. this was I think the first book by Rebecca that really made me cry and feel real sadness with her main character Megan. I rather enjoyed all the characters from all her previous books being in one place and seeing everyone as a family. I loved the angst and the unknown feeling of what was going to happen next. I just cant get over the details for the views and homes, I truly felt like I was seeing it first hand. This 2 POV story will blow your mind, I would recommend reading the other stories but in a way with this one you don't have to. Rebecca did an outstanding job with writing this toy getting those words on paper and bringing all the characters together ZI could not imagine the amount of voices going on all at once wanting to be heard. Amazing wonderful, outstanding magnificent, these words don't do tit justice they need more. MUST READ
