Review of “Starlight Inn” by Annee Jones—A Celebrate Lit Book Tour with a giveaway!

Starlight Inn

About the Book

Book: Starlight Inn

Author: Annee Jones

Genre: Sweet/ clean Contemporary Romance

Release date: November 4, 2022

Hope Garland is driving home for Christmas.  She’s depressed because she caught her fiancé cheating (or he dumped her for her best friend).  Tears blurred her vision, she crashes the car….. in reality she gets taken to hospital and is in a coma.

However, in her mind after the crash she’s OK, she gets out of the car but it is totalled & it’s the middle of a snowstorm.  Needs a place to stay…. Finds the Starlight Inn, run by the Kringles.  Meets other guests, including a handsome stranger.  They’ll be snowed-in for Christmas so have to make the best of things…..end up falling in love.

When she wakes from coma on Christmas Day, she finds someone set a snowglobe on the windowsill next to her bed which has a little Victorian inn inside with a sign that says “Starlight Inn”.    The doctor comes in (or perhaps it will be the young hospital chaplain) and it’s the same man from her dream that she fell in love with (and there’s promise for them to have a real-life romance).

My Review:

This is a charming, not-quite-novella-length Christmas story.  Even though this book is shorter, you’ll find that it’s packed with all the things we love about Christmas:  A beautiful, picturesque setting; warm and caring characters; and several fun Christmas traditions that we’ve come to expect in all the Christmas books that we love to read during this season of the year.  When Hope Garland finds herself driving in the middle of a blizzard, she doesn’t realize that the events over the next several hours will cause her to completely rethink some decisions she’s recently made. 

While I would have liked for this book to have taken a little bit longer with the development of the two main characters, that wasn’t the aim of this story.  The plot to this book would make a great Christmas movie, and I especially liked the ending.  If you are looking for a sweet and clean book with just a touch of Christmas magic, you’ll enjoy reading this one.

I  voluntarily received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
