This is the book version of a Hallmark Christmas movie. Plot was decent and cute, and I did enjoy reading it although it is not generally my cup of tea. Thank you NetGalley for this copy.
This is a good book. The two main characters are Jessica and Luke. Jessica is a real estate agent. Luke is a father and owns an inn. Jessica has an accident and lands up n the water. Luke drags her out and does CPR on her. There is an instant attraction. They have their own issues but together they work them out and fall in love.
A sweet story with a Hallmark feel but a little steamier. The writing is fairly simple but the story lines put me in the holiday spirit.
This is a delightful Christmas romance that will warm you heart. I always love a quick read book that will give you all you need for just a few hours of reading. If you like second chance books and a short read this book is for you.
Thank you NetGalley and The Wild Rose Press, Inc. for allowing me to read this ARC.
Short, sweet, easy to read and it was a pretty good story. It wasn't an in-depth story that you could get your teeth stuck into but more of a sit down and read while you are having a cuppa.
It was alright, a nice story, a good subject and was a bit cute but other than that I don't really know what else to say. It was over so quickly!
After a near death experience Jesse finds herself with a pesky guardian angel who tells her that she has seven days to get her life in order. Can she turn her live around in seven days. Quirky little story that I enjoyed.
Wow! What a gripping story. I’m sitting here writing this review with tears in my eyes. That is how much this story moved me. You might be surprised that I’m teary eyed since I’ve an autoimmune disease that robs my body of moisture plus I rarely give out five starred reviews. I’m particular with how I like my stories to go. To say this one hit me (in a good way) like a ton of bricks would not be an overstatement. Didn’t see this one coming. Nope. Not at all. So I say, pick up this book and read it. Maybe a couple of times. Do yourself a favor. You’ll thank me later.
I received a free copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.
This book was ok. It started strong but less than halfway through I was growing bored. It was a fast, easy read. Can be read in a couple hours.
This was a sweet, quick read - only 80 pages. Jesse is on her way back to the small town where her grandmother lived. She owns a real estate agency and has plans to buy the inn that’s there. Things go awry when she is run off the road and ends up upside down in a freezing creek (it’s winter!). She’s pulled out of the water by Luke Benson, the owner of the inn.
And then things get really interesting.
The characters are fun—especially Liza the ghost. I loved Liza’s pranks on Jesse. This is a sweet, fun romance that hits all the “Hallmark-type” spots. The only thing that didn’t work for me, and it’s minor, was the short timeline for their romance. But the rest… the reason Luke closed the inn down, his daughter, the cook, Jesse’s rival, and more… it all works well. There is a lot going on for such a short read.
Recommendation: If you’re looking for a sweet, quick, holiday read, pick this one up. You won’t be disappointed.

This was a fast one afternoon read. I don't know exactly how to describe the story except when Jessie Colson crashes her car into the river and wakes up to a handsome giving her CPR she has fallen into an alternate universe. Yes, it gets that strange. A high-powered NYC real estate professional meets an angel who informs her that she has seven days to mend her ways or die. She ends up in a Hallmark-style inn with the aforementioned handsome stranger, fits seamlessly into his life and they are in love. They don't fall in love - they just are in love. The first time he kissed her was so out of the blue it was creepy. I did not expect it. He has a daughter and a housekeeper who also live in the inn and accept Jessie immediately, too.
For me the story had no build up or tension leading to a romance and the ultimate commitment brought about by true love. I prefer a little more substance and effort before the reward of a happily ever after ending.
Thank you NetGalley, D.M. Grant and WildRose Press for the opportunity to review this book.
