A new Christmas book released today by Hallmark Publishing
Publisher Description
A rising star,
a down-to-earth teacher,
and a Christmas touched by wonder…
“Country music star Kris Trabeau heads to Charming, Mississippi, to convince his aging aunt to sell her farm and move into a nice retirement community. She’s not having it, and she enlists her neighbor Tory Hudson to help her remind Kris why the farm means so much…especially at Christmas.
After being dumped by her longtime boyfriend, Tory’s not feeling the holiday spirit. Still, she agrees to co-chair a children’s concert and silent auction to benefit the after-school center where she volunteers. As Kris helps her with the concert and spends time with the kids, the attraction between them becomes harder and harder to ignore. Can he trade spotlights and city lights for the place where the music began?
This funny, emotional romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Jingle Bell Fruitcake Cookies.”
My Review:
It’s interesting when you begin reading a Christmas story on a very warm summer day, but feel like celebrating all things Christmas when you finish the book. That’s what happened with me with this one. Even though I’ve seen this plot as a Hallmark movie, I still very much enjoyed the book, as there’s more opportunity for character development in the book’s storyline. I loved the characters of Bria and Aunt Tansy and felt their stories added so much interest to the book. I enjoyed celebrating Christmas at Trabeau Farms by reading this book. It’s a sweet, clean, heartwarming story.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
