The One You Can't Keep by Sadira Stone

 Forbidden love is the sweetest Christmas treat of all.  

 About The Book: Stationed in Germany, a lonely teacher and a divorced military dad share a hot holiday liaison. Both crave more, but she’s his troubled son’s teacher. Unless they can untangle this mess, their passionate connection will fizzle before the new year.  

 Our Review: It is one thing for two lonely, deserving people to come together and forge a healthy adult relationship—make it last. It’s quite another when said relationship takes place in a foreign country under the watchful, distrusting eyes of an unhappy teenager. Klara, an American teacher at a military base school, loves Germany and all it offers. Logan, in the military for the long term, never knows when he’ll be deployed—or where. They have to make each minute count, but when his son’s unhappiness explodes, the dedicated teacher and loving parent put their needs on hold to meet those of the child. Because that’s what caring adults do.

          No one does conflict better than Sadira Stone. Flavoring the reader’s urge to read to the very last page to see if these two characters ‘make it’ is learning about the local sights, sounds, customs, and food choices of the area. Plus, the steam and heat of the budding romance makes this a winner all around.

 On a scale of 1-5, The One You Can’t Keep deserves a 6.
