A Mackenzie Family Christmas: The Perfect Gift by Jennifer Ashley is a 2012 release. This one was a freebie in the kindle store a little while back. This is a short story novella, obviously Christmas themed.The Mackenzie Family celebrates the New Year more so than Christmas, but this year is an exception. Ian and Beth hit a bump when it looks as if Ian may be going into one of his dark spells after Beth breaks on of Ian's Ming bowls accidently.
Hunt's wife, Eleanor is very pregnant and having complications. Confined to bed rest, Hunt is terrified something will go wrong. Meanwhile the Mackenzie's are just as rowdy as always and a few fisticuffs ensue. But, all's well that ends well as they say, with Ainsley and Cameron in the middle of the ruckus.
The main story here focuses on Beth and Ian and it so sweet. Ian is still quite literal and a little to honest at times. He has to be helped along a little in understanding his wife's unhappiness.
The story is very touching and perfect for the holidays.
Overall this one gets an A.
