The Holly Groweth Green by Amy Rae Durreson

When Avery asks Laurence to stay for the night, he agrees and one night turns into two, which turns into twelve. Laurence has never seen anyone like Avery for the man shines like gold.

Laurence is skeptical at first, but the atmosphere of the cottage can only be the result of magic. Avery welcomes Laurence into the cottage immediately and explains that he is a wizard from some time ago. He comes across a cottage where Avery is the only inhabitant. The war has ended and Laurence would like to see what kind of life could be waiting for him, but his brain injury leaves him turned around in the snow. Instead, he’s caught in a blizzard in the countryside. Laurence Payne is trying to make his way back to London. It is a great read for the holidays.It’s Christmas Eve, 1946, and Dr. It is a very enjoyable read and the characters are quite sweet. Although for such a short story it has a lot of detail and meat to it. I am not a fan of historical romances so I am afraid that this wasn’t one of my favorite stories. Avery is a magical young man who has been punished for something that happened in the past. He finds himself at a cabin where a sexy stranger invited him in. On the way to London, he is stranded when the train had to stop do to a heavy snowstorm. Review: Laurence was a doctor in the war, till an injury took him out of it. Laurence sets out to give Avery the greatest gift of all-his heart and with it the chance to live for more than the fleeting winter weeks he’s been sentenced to.

Laurence’s investigations lead him to the story of an ancient fairy curse-Avery is doomed to spend only Christmas Eve to Twelfth Night in human form until he finds true love. He spends a magical twelve days of Christmas celebrating with Avery, but then wakes to find his lover has vanished and the cottage has fallen to ruin overnight. Avery claims to be an Elizabethan wizard, and Laurence struggles to explain away the atmosphere of the cottage as mere coincidence and trickery.
