PAULA'S REVIEW:
Heartfelt contemporary romance set in a town where Christmas is year round.
Darcy chose Christmastown, Vermont because she has a wreath business and loved the Victorian house she found as well as the quaint town. Coppersmith Dean lives across the street from the house he grew up in but it holds too many memories. He is a recluse since his wife died.
Friendship grows as Darcy shows Christian compassion as hope and love bloom.
I liked the details of the wreath business and the coppersmithing. There were a few side characters that gave color to the story. But the redemption thread and Dean having his sorrowful, meaningless existence brought back to life was the bright spot. And the author did this so well. I really connected with the characters and the plot.
*I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author via bookfunnel. All opinions are mine alone.( Published Nov1, 2023) 5 stars and a strong faith thread
BackCover Blurb:
Welcome to Christmastown, Vermont, where it's Christmas 365 days a year…
To Darcy Carr, the holiday is depressing enough without reliving it every day. Her thriving wreath business and faithful cat are no longer enough to distract her from her tragic past or her current loneliness. Is her frosty neighbor, the only man in town with no Christmas decorations, just another Scrooge, or could he be the one she's been looking for?
Coppersmith Dean Whitfield hasn't celebrated Christmas-or anything else-since the death of his wife and unborn child. And he certainly has no desire to carry on the family tradition of crafting a star for the town's Christmas tree, even if it will benefit a worthy charity. Can Darcy and the true meaning of Christmas thaw his frozen heart and help him love again?
Thanks for reading and reviewing! Glad you enjoyed it.
