This book is part of a series and I have loved the series. This book was excellent. I loved the characters and the
story line and really enjoyed seeing characters from previous books make an appearance. A perfect read

A touching story about two people two finding each other with Christmas being the integral theme. Jenna is a doctor on the run with her young son, as a stalker has made her life impossible. She and Reilly travel in a camper and live off the grid. However, she returns to Eternity Sorings and the truth about her situation is slowly revealed, she finds she has friends, especially Devin. Passion flares between Jenna and Devin. The ending is satisfying. A good story to read during the holiday season, when anything is possible.

"The Christmas Wishing Tree" by Emily March
A great story filled with "believing". Yes, I had tears in my eyes upon occasion and I laughed and I chuckled.... I was not disappointed in this Eternity Springs adventure. I could not put the book down, although I wanted to... I wanted to delay reaching the end of the story.. but could not squelch the desire to read every word just as quickly as I could. If I could move to Eternity Springs and meet Celeste Blessing and the other residents I have met via Emily's stories... I would be there in a heart-beat. I was gifted an ARC copy by the publisher via NetGalley. I guess that will have to be my blessing.. and visiting Eternity Springs via Emily's stories is going to be as close as I will ever get to living there for real. Believe !!

After 15 books, Emily March's Eternity Springs series is still going strong. Despite its rather weighty setup, "The Christmas Wishing Tree" is super cute and a worthy addition to the series. I really enjoyed getting to know Jenna and her son, Reilly. She was a great match for Devin Murphy, who we've gotten to know a bit in previous books. It was nice to see him finally get his own HEA.

The great thing about these books is that they can stand very well on their own for readers who do not have previous experience with the series, while also allowing longtime fans the opportunity to check in with favorite characters from past books. That was certainly true of this book, in large part because of the "Maternity Springs" baby boom. I look forward to watching the new additions grow up in future books in the series!

I would love to find Eternity Springs. Ms. March has created the perfect community and this was such a feel good novel. I highly recommend it to get you in the Christmas Spirit. Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Sexy Santa, that's what I will remember about Devin most. Jenna's stalker does some pretty scary stuff. I don't blame her for running. Lucky for her, the people of Eternity Springs take her under their wings.

A sweetly romantic tale with intrigue and a bit of magic.
Dr.Jenna Stockton and her six year old son Riley, are being pranked and then terrorized....and no one can find the culprit. Their New Year's Eve id disrupted by a SWAT team breaking in their door after a false report.
She takes him away to Eternity Springs, hoping to enjoy a normal holiday and finds peace and happiness in the town and the make a wish on a 'Wishing Tree', him for a daddy, her for an end to the stalking.
She then moves away from Nashville to Tallahassee, only to have the same problems,,,again culminating in a SWAT break in, with no clue to who is doing it.
The pair pick up and start touring state parks to avoid more of the same and end up back at Eternity Springs. The pair both fall in love with Devin, who, along with his friends, solve her stalker problem, but they need to work out other personal problems, eventually getting to their happy ever after.
I requested and received a NetGalley ARC to peruse.

Another great addition to this series. I have read everyone of them and I never get bored. The town is charming. The way the townspeople are always willing to help is truly inspiring. A book full of beautiful scenery, romance and a bit of intrigue. A must read.

I enjoyed reading this romantic story! I would highly recommend reading this over the holidays, curled up by the fire. It was a great love story.

A heartwarming tale of Christmas stretching over more than one year. Love the idea of the Christmas Wishing Tree. The story has several twists but each has its own angle and it is a wonderful story of the Christmas spirit with plenty of aspects of friendship, community, family and romance. Certainly worth reading

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."

Loved this book very much. It had the right amount of sweet romance and the storyline was great! I highly recommend!

The Christmas Wishing Tree is a fabulous contemporary romance from Emily March. Ms. March has given us a well-written book. I totally adore the characters in this story. Jenna is a doctor being targeted for nasty pranks. She moves her young son and herself to another state and the pranks start again. Devin is in Eternity Springs for Christmas with his family. Due to an unfortunate event, his phone is damaged and he takes a loner phone from a friend. Jenna's son thinks he's calling Santa, but it's Devin that answers. Devin and Jenna's story is loaded with drama, humor, sizzle and suspense. I enjoyed every page of this book and look forward to reading more from Emily March in the future. The Christmas Wishing Tree is part of the Eternity Springs Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

That was awesome! I love small town romance, they are always a joy to read. That final "Dear Santa" line was funny!

This is a voluntary review and I do not get paid for this review.

Jenna Stockton and her young son head to the town of Eternity Springs with the hope of a fresh start and to escape the danger that has lurking around them. For the last few months Jenna has been receiving mysterious texts and phone calls, and when she turns to the police they tell her that they think it is just some young teens pulling pranks, but then things start to take a eerie turn and she begins to feel like it is a case of stalking, so they pack up their belongings and get out of town.

Once they arrive in Eternity Springs they find the restart they are looking for, and also happen to meet a handsome man named Devin (aka Santa) who brings some much needed joy to both of their lives... and also a plan to finally rid them of their past they are trying to outrun. Joining together to carry out the plan brings them all the piece of mind they have been searching for, and a whole lot more... Santa delivers on all fronts, wishes are granted and a happily ever after is found waiting for them under the Wishing tree!

Between the pages of The Christmas Wishing Tree readers will find a beautifully crafted holiday tale brimming with hope, happiness, and loads of heart! This delightful story is sure to inspire some true Christmas spirit; with it's secret/accidental Santa armed with a plan to save the day, the magic of the wishing tree; the vivid description of decorated store fronts and homes; and of course the welcoming townsfolk who make you feel as though you have been part of the community all along. This was such an enjoyable read that had a good blend of everything I look for in my reads, and of course some sweet little extras to top things off; it was engaging and heartwarming, and SO good for the soul! Highly recommend!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

This is absolutely a great book. It has so much magic with some mystery and suspense in it. A town with so much love it makes you want to move there. Wonderful characters come alive to make a wonderful Christmas story. I enjoyed this book so much!

I am a long time fan of Emily March's Eternity Springs series, but you don't have to read them all to be captivated by this story - it works well as a stand alone. It has a little of everything: Christmas, romance, boy looking for a daddy, a terrorized family, community, and so much more. I love the down to earth characters and the Colorado small town setting.

A Christmas romance with some mystery,suspense,magic and romance.
It all started when Reilly called Santa and wish for a dad for Christmas.
When things go wrong Jenna and Reilly heads to Eternity Springs where magic begins
along with some drama and romance.
A sweet feel good Christmas story.
Voluntarily reviewed.

What I enjoyed most about The Christmas Wishing Tree was the slow build up of love and trust between Devin and Jenna. Although both have been severely burned by life, they are willing to trust in each other. And with a bond built on their mutual concerned for a traumatize child, they’re willing to take the risk on each other to protect that child. I also really liked the focus of family and community of this story, the perfect ingredients for every Christmas tale.

Even though this is a series, readers can and should take a chance on picking this book up and reading it as a stand alone.

I have been a huge fan of the Eternity Springs series and I have been waiting for Devins story !
Devin Murphy has had much loss in his life, he also has been blessed with a great adopted family. Devin is a rolling stone, no moss on him, he likes to keep it free and easy with no relationships lasting longer than a few weeks !
Jenna is a surgeon, with an adopted son, Reilly . Reilly wants a Dad for Christmas and asks Santa to help bring him one !


I love this series and while you can read it as a stand-alone , please try to read them all, this way you can meet all the wonderful people who reside in Eternity
Springs .
Emily March writes such memorable characters and I love to catch up with my friends !

It's always great when I get to travel to Eternity Springs and Emily March always delivers a magical story.


Devin is the Murphy sweetheart, free-spirit, sailor. While he loves his family and especially his little brother, being a "family man" himself isn't on Devin's radar.


Jenna Stockton is a busy physician raising a sweet little boy, Reilly, whom she adopted when his mother passed away. Reilly is excited for Christmas and wants to be sure he gets word to Santa that while presents are great- a dad for Christmas would be the best gift ever. When his phone call to Santa leads him to Devin, Reilly rapidly relays to him how busy his mom is and how he needs a father. Devin answers his phone to hear a little boy needing someone to talk to, not just because he needs Santa to know what he wants, but because he is lonely- so Devin thinks. What started as a call to Santa becomes days of communication that leave Devin desperate to speak to Reilly's mom.


Jenna is the subject of a stalked and thinks Devin is scary and wants nothing to do with him at first. Once these two connect on the phone- keeping their identities secret- a sweet friendship sparks to life and two souls are drawn together. Devin is headed back to Australia but brags of his town, Eternity Springs. Events happen to this sweet little family of Jenna and Reilly that are so harsh that a rest in Eternity Springs is what they need to heal. These townspeople are awesome as always and Jenna keeps Eternity Springs in her mind when another tragic event happens months later and she is once again in need of not only healing but believing that life can get better.


Once Jenna and Devin meet face to face and realize their connection, as well as the dire situation both Reilly and Jenna face with the stalker, they begin relying on one another and feelings develop. I love their sweet friendship and dipping their toes into the possibility of more, yet know the ramifications once Devin leaves. Eternity Springs embraces Jenna and Reilly, as they always do, and help her face the stalker so she can be free of the prison he has put her in.


The Christmas Wishing Tree reminds us of the magic of the Christmas season and love being the theme. Two souls - three souls- find their match by believing!
