This is my first Jenny Hale story and I am excited to read more!! It is impossible to read this book and not be ready to decorate your house, sing Christmas carols, and have hot cocoa! A lovely story, a bit different from your typical holiday book (Hallmark movie) but I loved it! Exactly the holiday book I needed this year!

If cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie stories are your thing, look no further. This book is loaded with festive holiday elements.

Christmas at Fireside Cabins was a lovely, heartwarming story of found family, finding purpose, forgiveness, and moving on from one's past. It has all the perfect elements of a Christmas story - the cozy cabin decorated to the nines, the Christmas trees, sleigh ride, and oh my goodness, Christmas treats galore.

This story was brimming with colorful side characters. Lila was an interesting character, one that might not click with everyone, but as someone who fell into a lot of situations vs choosing them, I could relate to her struggles and her fears. Really lovely all around.

Christmas at Fireside Cabins is a really sweet Christmas story with a small town, loveable side characters and two main characters who are not always the most relatable or loveable. Despite my frustrations with both Lila and Theo at times, I did enjoy the book and stay up extra late to finish it. I think I needed more of a build up to their love story instead it felt almost rushed and I didnt understand the obsession with each other at times. But it had a great ending and made me happy.

Overall a very enjoyable seasonal cozy read. I found it hard to track at times. Lots of jumping around. I wish there was a little more character development. All In all though it was a cute read.

Lila and her three friends set off to the countryside, looking forward to some cosy retreat and spending some girls time. The Fireside Cabins sound like the perfect place for that.

I really enjoyed the setting in the Tennessee mountains and although the cabins aren't the most modern standard, they sound very cosy. The small village nearby the cabins makes a very distant impression in the beginning but later this is getting a lot better with all the festive happenings and events.

Lila and her friends are lovely characters and I was looking forward to follow their story. I liked how they turned the little bit shabby cabin into a cosy Christmas retreat. Theo, the coffeeshop owner, doesnt't make it easy to like him in the beginning but it's getting better throughout the book.

In general I really liked the story but I found it a little bit jumpy at times, scenes and situations were changing very quickly and a few times I was a bit irritated.
Overall the story is a very enjoyable festive read which I can recommend for the Christmas time.

I was looking for a cozy Christmas read, and I thought this book would fit the bill, but it didn't. It was really repetitive and super dramatic. I never really connected with the characters. It was a decent read, but I'm not sure it's very memorable.

A gorgeous, seasonal story that had me glued to the pages. Great characters and wonderful setting. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC.

I love a Christmas cabin story-and this one did not disappoint! It had great wintery vibes and an even better plot and characters.

Absolutely your typical #romancenovel but with all of the #christmasfeels sprinkled ALL OVER IT

My stay at Fireside Cabins was an absolute joy. From the original Girls Christmas week away and the shameful drooling I did when sweet treat after sweet treat were mentioned one after the other to then following Lila on her own drama filled festive period
🎄
Can we just take another minute to talk about the #sweettreats again though!?! Urghhhh I wasn't joking about the drooling 😂 and I'm pretty sure that author Jenny Hale totally moonlights as a baker aswell as being a fab writer.
🎄
Anyway. CHRISTMAS AT FIRESIDE CABINS was great, I did however have a little panic about a quarter into the book that it was becoming rather predictable and about to get droney and boring BUT that thought was very soon kicked out of Santa's grotto. Lila and Theo's journey GOT GOING!
🎄
Completely Perfect for this time of year, I urge you to book yourself into Fireside Cabins this Christmas, you'll have a great stay.
🎄
Thank you #netgalley #bookouture and #jennyhale for a chance to read this one. It was Fab and I'm now off to add more of Jenny's work to my #wishlist 😊

I usually love Jenny Hale's book but this one wasn't for me.
I didn't like the characters and the story didn't keep my attention as I struggled to read it.
Not my cup of tea.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This book definitely got me in the Christmas spirit! All the talk about peppermint lattes, hot cocoa, snow, sleigh rides, all putting any reader in a good holiday mode! Hale did a great job writing about a holiday romance about two people coming from two very hard times in their life, with one struggling with loss while the other trying to avoid mistakes made in the past. Definitely a wonderful Christmas read!!

The perfect book to get me into the Christmas spirit. I throughly enjoyed this read. It’s the perfect feel good fiction you need to escape the world for an evening and enjoy with a glass of hot chocolate.
This book has just the right amount of Christmas warmth with Hale’s descriptions of food and scenery setting the mood perfectly.
This would be perfect for any fans of romance Christmas movies. A great story of found family and friend and the joys of the holiday season.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a cope of the book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved Christmas at Fireside Cabins by Jenny Hale, it was very heartwarming and a great festive, cosy read. If you are looking for a great Christmassy read this book has it all. Another great book by Jenny.

Story was good, but took a bit long for me to get into it. Too much friends in the beginning made me feel a bit distracted, but it was possibly my mood at the time. The story did get lovely. Great writer, loved the setting.

This was a predictable story. It was ok, but seemed a little far-fetched. I liked the friend’s storyline more than anything.

This was a gorgeous, light-hearted, romantic Christmas read that couldn't be more perfect for reading this time of year! Lila's story with Theo and Eleanor is like one giant hug, filled with Christmas magic, enjoyable characters, and finding new loved ones to light up your life. This story is about to bring some sparkle in to the dull days we're currently having, so get a blanket, get a mug of hot chocolate and get cosied up because this one is going to warm up your heart!

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I really like Jenny Hale novels but felt that this one was a bit different because of the mystery aspect, though I loved it. A quick read, with great characters, and a lovely holiday story.

Release Date: October 14th, 2020

Lila is searching for a purpose. Her friends are all moving forward in their lives but she feels stuck. While on her annual Christmas vacation trip with her best friends she meet “just” Theo, who owns and runs the local coffee shop. Lila feels drawn to him and thinks he feels the same but he’s running from something. Is the something big enough to tear them apart?

The characters were wonderfully developed and you truly care about Theo, Lila and Eleanor. The best was a sweet fluff read that I enjoyed and was a great start to the Christmas season. My one complaint was that it wrapped up too quickly. All that build and one chapter for clean up.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
