This was a cute and fast Hallmark like Reed I really enjoyed it for what it was but it definitely is not my favorite Christmas book I've read

TW for infant and significant other loss

If you want a quick. cute, warm, slow burn romance this is for you. The chemistry that is built up between the characters is awesome, and in 250 pages really impressive. We follow a wedding planner and the venue owners romance. The wedding planner is divorced and the venue owner is a single dad. They decide to take things slow and each write down 3 dates they would like to go on in a bowl and pick them out one by one to get to know each other better. I though that idea was great, i want to do it myself now. The single father was an amazing father trying to do everything right by his 4 year old daughter which is great to see.

Wedding planner Alexandra is scoping out a venue when she discovers the owner's daughter hiding from her nanny under a pile of leaves. Returning the girl to her father, Alexandra realizes how much single dad Drew is struggling since the loss of his fiancée. Alexandra can relate. Since the stillbirth of her daughter and the breakup of her marriage, she's immersed herself in work to escape the grief and loneliness. Can these two souls discover happiness together at the holidays?

This book is strongly focused on family, children, and recovering from loss. It's nice to see Drew and Alexandra find comfort in each other and finally move on.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

It is highly unusual for me to give a romance novel like this fiver stars. Let me explain why I made an exception this time. The majority of the romance novels I have been asked to review lately have been plain rubbish, with horrible plots, flat characters, etc. Frankly, many of them are so bad that I haven’t been finishing them.

Cara Colter’s The Wedding Planner’s Christmas Wish brings the romance genre back to where it should be. While there is nothing earth-shattering here, it is a well developed novel. The characters show both depth and growth. The plot line is believable and moves along at a steady pace. It is not repetitive. Let me repeat that for the authors at the back repeating the same information over and over. This book isn’t adding words for filler to meet a word count. The story is heart-warming and sweet. There is nothing wrong with writing romance novels, but if you are going to do so, they should still exhibit good writing, which Colter does.

I liked Alexandra and Drew's story. I enjoyed how they both moved on to create a great family atmosphere thru the holidays
