I thought this story sounded familiar when I read the synopsis. It turns out that it was adapted from one of my favorite Lifetime Christmas movies starring Toni Braxton. I didn’t know Karen schaler wrote the story originally so it’s cool to make the connection. I’m not sure I really needed to read an adaptation of the movie seeing as I’ve seen the movie several times but the book was still a wonderful escape from the heat of July, and also served as a great palate cleanser based on the types of books I’ve been reading lately. Still I hope next Christmas season Schaler will write a completely brand new story to share with the world.
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me. Anyone who loves cheesy Christmas movies will love this book!!!

I’m very excited for this wonderful Christmas themed book. I love the Christmas themed a hallmark movies as does our readers so this will be the perfect accompaniment to that. I will be sharing a full review and thoughts soon. I very much appreciate the opportunity and hope to review more by Karen Schafer soon.
