I absolutely enjoy reading Christmas stories from this author and this one served. Definitely an enjoyable and light holiday read.
Great book. I was able to connect with characters and the plot. I recommend this book……………………………..,,,,.
I looovvveeed this book. Absoloutely loved it! If Debbie Macomber is my favorite Christmas author, then Karen Schaler is my new second favorite Christmas author. This book was like a gigantic warm hug on a snowy winter's day. I adored the romance between Libby and Adam and would so enjoy seeing this story adapted into a Christmas movie on the Hallmark Channel or Netflix!
Thank you to NetGalley for sharing this book in exchange for my honest review!

This Christmas book is cute but not for me. Lots of cute holiday moments but a bit slow. Beautiful setting, a nice holiday book.
Loved this book! It's a great holiday read with a little mystery and a little romance. I would recommend to anyone who's looking to find a little more Christmas spirit.
Warm and cozy Christmas read. I love the main character and I would 100% recommend it to any cozy romance book lover.
Love Always, Christmas by. Karen
Libby is planning to spend the holiday alone until a mysterious Christmas card takes her on a life-changing journey.
Loved this cozy, romantic, Christmas story. Fine cast of characters. Left you with a warm feeling. I recommend this book.
I really wanted to love this book but I think it was just a bit too twee for me. While I do love Christmas Magic books this was a bit too much for me. It was a quick read and there were elements I did enjoy though and I think most that love this genre will delight in this read.
The queen of Christmas does it again! You can always count on author Karen Schaler's stories to be jammed packed with holiday cheer, but they don't skimp on an in depth story either. I always find it so mysterious, special and intriguing when an author uses a plot point of an old found letter (card). You might feel like this has been done before, but I promise it hasn't. It will warm your heart these two characters coming together and the community too. Give this one a shot you won't be disappointed!

My only quibble is the author does write movie scripts, so at times the dialogue can be a little redundant and clunky.
Thank you Hawktale Publishing + Netgalley for the copy.
I always love Karen Schaler's Christmas novels, I look forward to reading one every year! Love Always, Christmas follows Libby, who has always loved Christmas but this year it's hard as she lost her mum earlier in the year and is struggling to keep things afloat. She soon meets her new neighbours, and their handsome son Adam and things go from there. Most of the novel is set in Holly Peak, which is just the most gorgeous Christmas town I think I've ever read about and I really want to go there. This novel felt just like a Hallmark Christmas movie, and I could see everything in my mind's eye. It's packed full of Christmas fun, romance and secrets to be uncovered. I enjoyed this one and I recommend it!
A perfect and cosy read for the Christmas season. If you love a Christmas Hallmark movie, this is the wintery book to read!
Another good read
Perfect book to curl up with and to get lost in
Will have you hooked from the first page
Thanks NetGalley
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. I have chosen to write this honest review voluntarily and it reflects my personal opinion.
I have read other Christmas books by this author and seen the Netflix films, and found them to be atmospheric, enjoyable and predictable romances. I thought that this story was far superior, with a few twists, even right up to the end. The characters are realistic and interesting with credible background stories, and there is a modern element to the story with inclusion of social media and hashtags. This is definitely above the level of some Christmas stories, from it's lovely cover to the last page, and would make a great start to a series or a tv film.
Just finished reading Love Always, Christmas, a great cosy Christmas read from start to finish. This is the second book I have read by Karen Schafer and it didn’t disappoint
Secrets, mystery and intrigue! This heartwarming holiday read will make you feel like you’re a part of a Hallmark movie.
I'm a fan of Karen Schaler's holiday romance novels. She creates the best winter wonderlands and this book was no exception.
I loved the characters and the storyline. Such a cozy, cutesy story.
Thank you Karen Schaler, the publishers and Netgalley for this digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
A lovely, cosy Christmas read. I enjoyed the setting and the characters very much. It was so heartwarming to find the main character had family after all and also managed to make a success out of her business just in the nick of time.
Heartwarming and enjoyable story that also includes a little mystery and a few secrets. Entertaining characters to follow as they weave through the clues to come up with the answers to secrets that are slowly revealed throughout the story. Wonderful interaction and banter between the characters. The holidays can add an unexpected twist to any story. Christmas especially. Good read.
Karen Schaler writes lovely stories and I’ve never been disappointed in her books. They’re literal hallmark stories wrapped up in the pages of a book and I can think of nothing better. Love Always, Christmas was such a feel good romance that is perfect for the holiday season! We’re thrown a bit of a mystery and we go on a journey with the characters. This is a Christmas read you won’t want to miss!
Every year my book club reads Karen Schaler’s Christmas book for that year. Her books are so cozy and remind me of a hallmark movie!
