What a feel good, easy read! Makes you feel right at home. Pamela Kelley is one of my favorite authors for just this reason. Thank you for ARC.

My Thoughts:
The Christmas Inn is an enjoyable holiday read with all the feels of Christmas in a small town. I enjoyed the setting of a family run inn and the relationship between Riley and her Mom, plus the side story of Franny and Joe. Everyone seemed to find love at Christmas, whether it was a second chance with their first love or a new love in the case of Beth's mom. The inn brought out the best in people and helped bring joy back into their lives. Aiden and Luke were my favorite part.

Coming home at Christmas and small towns are usually a hit for me, but this one fell short in my opinion. I knew exactly what was going to happen and how it would end within the first few chapters. I found myself struggling to finish because of this. It was too predictable for me. And way too much repetitive wine and cheese talk!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me with an ARC for my review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Riley after losing her job goes home to Cape Cod to help her mother who has a broken leg with her inn. Christmas on Cape Cod, with a fire and a mug of hot chocolate and a whole new attitude toward family and all the new friends there. A magical Christmas story!!

The Christmas Inn by Pamela M. Kelley is the kind of feel-good holiday read that you just want to curl up with. I’m a big fan of her books, and this one definitely lives up to the hype. Riley’s journey back to Chatham, after being laid off right before Christmas, pulls you right into the cozy charm of small-town life. Helping her mom at the family BnB and reconnecting with her past, including an old high school flame, brings all the warmth you’d expect from a holiday romance.

Aidan and his son Luke absolutely stole my heart—every character in this book is just so likable, it’s impossible not to get attached. And while there were moments where the details, especially around the food, felt a bit much, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. If anything, it added to that cozy Christmas vibe.

The story ties everything together beautifully, with multiple plotlines that wrap up in a way that leaves you completely satisfied. If you’re looking for a holiday book that’s full of heart and warmth, The Christmas Inn is a must-read. Pamela M. Kelley has a way of making you feel right at home, and this book is no exception.

The Christmas Inn by Pamela Kelley was such a sweet, cozy read. I really enjoyed the characters, the gatherings, and the romance. It was a joy to read. I will be looking for more by this author.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and St. Martin's Griffin for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Such a great read! Highly recommend this one.

Many thanks to the author, the publisher, and Netgalley for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Riley Sanders has lost her job a month before Christmas. A call from her sister is bringing her home, the place she couldn't wait to leave. While she is helping her mother navigate using crutches and running a B&B, she is slowly realizing Chatham isn't so bad. She is helping her mom update her website and post on her blog to drive business. It's all the little stories that makes this book so special. There is new love in the air and old loves re-igniting. Riley is worried about finding a job. She accepts a job at her boyfriends law firm. Only she's not happy being back in the city, in her lonely apartment and not seeing her boyfriend. Who said you can't go home.

This is a perfect book to read this upcoming holiday season! Pamela Kelley always delivers a quick and easy read that captures well the relationships among the main characters, and the Christmas Inn is no exception. While the ending seemed a bit quick and not entirely realistic, the rest of the book was great!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is just the book I needed. I was ready to dive into a "Hallmark" feel book and this gave me that in spades! I would love to see this turned into a movie!

This is the first book by this author I have read and I look forward to reading many more! I loved most of the characters and how there was three second chance at love for 3 amazing characters in the story, it was so heartwarming. Riley was the center character of the story though. Through out the story you were cheering for her to find her way back home to the life she deserved and her heart really wanted, not the one her head was telling her she wanted. She deserved to be surrounded by people who made her happy and not for her to be alone in her apartment working in a cold place where she wasn't happy at all.

Grab this book on release day and enjoy the magic of Christmas! This is a book I could read over and over again!

Thanks to the author, publisher and Net-Galley for the early copy of this beautifully written story.

The story is heartwarming and enjoyable, focusing on Riley, her innkeeper mother, and a guest named Franny. While the plot is somewhat predictable, I appreciated its themes of second chances and new beginnings. It’s a cozy read, perfect for a chilly winter evening, and the Cape Cod setting made it worthy of five stars for me. Although the pacing felt a little slow and there were moments of repetition, I still found it to be a delightful experience overall.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with an ARC of this novel for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

The Christmas Inn is a cozy read that takes place in a small town around Christmas time. When Riley unexpectedly lost her job, she found herself back home to help her mom take care of the inn. She soon realizes she loves working at the inn, meeting new people, and being around her family. Her high school sweetheart, Aidan, is also staying at the inn while work is done to his house, and Riley is enjoying catching up with him so much that she starts doubting her relationship with super busy lawyer, Jack.

The story is sweet and cozy, and I enjoyed Riley’s story as well as her mom’s and Franny’s. The plot was fairly predictable, but I appreciated that it was all about second chances and new beginnings. It’s a heartwarming read that would be great for a cold winter night. It was a bit slow paced at times, and slightly repetitive, but I still found it enjoyable overall.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy.

Riley looses her job .. At the same time her mom injurs herself. Now Riley is heading back home to help her mom run the inn. Will Riley find what she is looking for at home. Or will she go.back to NY. Beth needs her daughters help to get the inn back on track. Will they both find what they have been missing??? Experience small town Christmas in Chatam. This is my 1st book by this author. I really enjoyed it! I will be looking for more!

I enjoyed this holiday fiction. Pamela Kelley has a way of making you feel warm and fuzzy by the time you reach the end of the book.
Riley Sanders has just been laid of from her job and her mother has injured herself and needs help at home. Riley leaves Manhattan to assist her mother in running her inn in Cape Cod during the Christmas season. She is able to use her skills to increase business for the inn. One of the guests is an old friend from high school and his son. Their home needs to be repaired so until it’s done their temporary home is the inn.

She is offered a job at her boyfriends’ law firm and a temporary job at another firm to provide content. She wrestles with what to do.
We also see a few other reconnections and it was great for Christmas reading.

This was a typical feel good Macomber type book. I am never disappointed when I pick up a Pamela Kelley book. If you are looking for uplifting book, this is it.

I was given an advanced readers copy and am not required to leave a positive review.

The Christmas Inn is the story of a woman who loses her job and comes back to the family Inn on Cape Cod to help her mother who has broken her leg.
The magical season and location set a charming tone. I love the sense of family - the one born into and the ones that are chosen. Throw in some romance and you have a terrific book to light your heart in the holiday season.
I enjoy the way that Kelley writes - her style is easy and laid back, while creating a book that I never wanted to put down. Nor did I want it to end.

Thanks to netgalley

If you want a book that makes you feel all warm and mushy inside this book is for you. This delightful love story is about family, loss, and new beginnings.

Riley the main female character loses her job and is struggling with her personal relationship. I like that she has a place to go to lick her wounds and recreate herself. With her mother's injury what a perfect way to help her mom and give Riley time to think. Her journey is done with empathy, grace, and a surprising decision.

The main male character is Aiden, a widower with a son and Riley's high school sweetheart. Author Pamela Kelley did a brilliant job of building the interaction between these three characters in a manner that was not only believable but filled with compassion.

I loved this book. Riley worked as a content writer and was laid off (along with her whole department ) the first of December. Her boyfriend, Jack, was sympathetic and told her to start applying now for a new job. She got a call from her sister that night that her mother had broken her leg and needed help at their Inn. She was happy to go home and could apply for jobs from there. She worked to get her mother's Inn more business and soon they were full again and busy. She ran into her old love from high school as he was staying at the Inn temporarily while his house was getting repaired. He had a great little boy that was very full of life and was fun to be around. The longer she stayed, the more she felt at home again. She had lived in Manhatten for quite awhile and thought the city was where she should be.
The story had some romances starting, a realization that the city was not where her heart was and a wonderful future was ahead of her

I got this book from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review

This was my first book from this author and I have to say she’s got a new fan. This was what coastal cozy Christmas dreams are made of, I’ve already preordered my copy to re-read closer to the holidays.

This was basically a hallmark movie in book form and I enjoyed it. Perfectly sweet and predictable in the best way and perfect for sitting in front of a fire during cozy season. That being said, it wasn't a must read type book but I think it would be great for the right reader.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the ARC of this sweet Christmas book. It followed 3 different ladies in a small town at Christmas time as they navigate loss of jobs, new relationships and struggles around Christmas time. It read very much like a Hallmark Christmas movie which was sweet. That being aId, I just felt like it moved incredibly slow for my taste and I just wasn't looking forward to it when I picked it up. Possibly a huge hit for someone else but only 3 stars for me!

Riley loses her job about the same time her mom takes a tumble off a ladder. Riley heads home to the Cape to help her mom with the Inn around Christmastime. While there, she reconnects with a serious man from her past, as well as his son. Meanwhile, Frannie is in the cape to follow some letters her sister wrote her before her death. Frannie remembers her childhood and a man from her past as well. Lots of wine in this book! Cute book. Very simple writing. I did see a lot of mistakes with words out of place etc, but I do know this is just a draft. Little slow moving for me in the middle. Cute christmas book, but I am not ready for summer to end!
