I adored this story. Such a good book to get you in the holiday mood, or if you're in the mood to read some Christmas themed romances. I love the twist at the end, as it's one of my favorite types of stories ever. It was also my very first Rebecca York book, and I will definitely check out more books by her.
I really enjoyed the book, it has everything I love in a novel from start to finish. I can’t wait to read what the author has planned next!
This short holiday story of a woman involved in an accident and then waking up in Santa's workshop didn't really do it for me. I thought the storyline was a little odd and thin. I enjoyed the characters of Amelia and Daniel, but that wasn't quite enough to make me connect well with the book.
White Christmas by Rebecca York is a novella with paranormal; aspects and abundant holiday cheer. The snow is coming down so fast, Amelia Parsons doesn't see the speeding car until it's too late. One moment she’s crossing an ice-rutted street in St. Stephens, Maryland. In the next, she's flying into the air, and the world goes black. She wakes, confused, in what appears to be Santa’s workshop during the holiday rush. If that’s not strange enough, a hunky FBI agent named Daniel is there, demanding to know why she’s involved in a plot to ruin Christmas. Can she convince him she's not the villain and then work with him to find the real saboteur?
White Christmas is a short story, which means need to happen quickly. Amelia is not allowed to freak about about the existence of Santa and all the trappings when she wakes up in the North Pole after getting hit by a car. The mystery of who is sabotaging the workshop is dealt with fairly quickly- though the why is never really answered for me. Similarly how Daniel ended up on assignment there, and how Amelia lands there, and how things all come together in the end, are equally glossed over. Sadly I felt like the attraction between Amelia and Daniel was weak, and their coming together did not feel real or right to me. I don't know. I was prepared to really love it, even if I waited to after Christmas to get around to it, but it was not what I was looking for. I expect much more character and relationship development from York, even in a novella.
I liked this book very much ...I mean who doesn't want a Christmas suspense filled love story 10/10 it was awesome ...definitely one to reread at Christmas time
If you dig FBI heroes... (3 stars)
A few of my earliest forays into the paranormal romance shelves had me reading and really enjoying a few of Rebecca York's Moon series novellas from anthologies. I'm not always a big fan of novellas or anthologies but she always stood out as one to pick up. So I, in the mood for a short holiday story, snapped this up.
A quick and interestingly plotted seasonal story this is one for those who like their investigator heroes a bit broody. The romance did feel a tiny but rushed but if you just need something creative around the holidays that'll bring out your Christmas spirit you might like this one.
