Four stars!

*I received an advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

What a delightful Christmas romance! Fans of Hallmark Christmas movies will get all the feel-good vibes. I loved that Pamela Kelley included three different generations with more than a casual mention. All three women were in a place of change and open to where things could go. I was more invested in Riley and her mother's storylines but really enjoyed Franny's. I won't go into the plot but you can read the publisher's synopsis. The Christmas Inn is just what I want in my Christmas reading.
Recommended.

This cute Christmas romance is full of family, second chances and love. Thank you NetGalley and publisher for a copy for my opinion.

Riley loses the job that she loved right at Christmas time. Her mother has broken her leg and could use some help running her inn in Chatham (Cape Cod). So Riley heads there to help out and brings her business expertise to help attract more tourists to the inn. She's left her boyfriend in NYC because he's a lawyer on the partner track at his firm and he's always working long hours. She hopes that will lessen once he becomes a partner. Meanwhile she is searching for a new job that will bring her back to Manhattan.

There are people staying at the inn who are visiting short term, and there are a few who are there for longer stays because they have need for a temporary place to live. This story has old friends, former loves, people reliving their youthful joys. In Cape Cod, there are friends, solutions to problems, and fresh starts. The characters enjoy each other's company, wine, and eating out.

This is a perfectly fun read for the holiday season. It's everything Pamela Kelley fans expect from her books.

I had both the ebook and an audio copy of the book. The narrator did a wonderful job.

I really enjoyed this book. A nice variety of interesting characters. The Inn seemed to be lovely and very welcoming. A great Christmas read.

If you are looking for a feel-good Christmas with a second chance at love, this is the book for you. The main female character, Riley, needs to return home to help her mother at a Bed and Breakfast. She runs into an old high school boyfriend Aiden, who is staying at the inn with his son. I love the Bed and Breakfast Inn at the Cape as the setting of this novel. Brings me back home nostalgia feelings! I highly recommend this book.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the advance reading copy.

The Christmas Inn is the perfect cozy romantic story for the holiday season about family and a second chance at love.

Riley loses her job right before Christmas and is also finding it difficult to spend time with her busy lawyer boyfriend Jack. Riley learns her mother has broken her leg and heads to the Cape to help her mom run the inn during the busy holiday season never expecting to run into her first love, Aidan Shaw, a widower, and his son Luke who are guests at the inn. As Riley spends time with her mom and the guests at the inn she begins to feel things she didn’t realize were missing from her life.

This is a sweet romantic story about different women at the inn at different stages of life. This book had everything you could want in a holiday story. Family relationships, second chances, wonderful characters and plenty of holiday charm.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy I received in exchange for my honest opinion.

I enjoyed reading this, but I hard time understanding somethings in the story. I was immediately aware of the stagnate state of her relationships in the city. The ending was practically written before the first chapter. It was a pleasant. but predictable. There were also too many descriptions of cheese and wine. It got really boring after the first chapter to hear about cheese and wine all the time. Also, there were times when they mentioned the crutches and then others while it seemed they had disappeared. By the end I was praying for Christmas to come so that the book would end.

Special thanks to NetGalley for advanced access to The Christmas Inn by Pamela M. Kelley.
I really enjoyed the book.It's filled with love, reality, and Christmas cheer. It's the perfect book to read during the holiday season.

If you enjoy Hallmark Christmas movies, you'll love this book.

What a good book!!! Such a good story and great writing style. This was my first by this author and will not be my last! Such a cute holiday romcom!

Such a sweet and cozy Christmas book! I loved getting insight to all the characters in Chatham and the Inn setting during the Holiday was so special and magical. This is one of those books that you'll want to read sitting next to a Christmas tree drinking hot chocolate surrounded by your loved ones. This whole book just felt like a warm hug! There wasn't anything crazy that happened or shocking drama, but I think that's why it worked. It was just heartwarming when you need a light read. I definitely recommend for a feel good holiday book!

The most wonderful romantic, inspiring heartwarming story I have read in a while. It is perfect for the holiday season. Riley has just lost her job and travels home to help her mother who broke her leg so Riley will help at the inn. Her family members and the inn guests are so very colorful and realistic. Riley does have a boyfriend, Jack, who is a lawyer and works such long hours that they rarely see each other. Aidan is Riley’s first love from years ago. He is now a widower with a young son, Luke. Maybe that first love will be rekindled?!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Christmas Inn by Pamela Kelley is a festive, heartwarming contemporary fiction that I enjoyed.

This is my first book that I have read by Ms. Kelley and I really liked it.

There were several character threads that were all combined beautifully and all were associated with the locally rana nd owned bed and breakfast/inn in the picturesque Cape Cod. I liked that the author highlighted how much a hidden gem the location can be in the off season, and especially at Christmas.

Riley was the MC, but her mother, as well as Franny, Aidan and Luke, and Sean were all secondary characters that are all connected and get plenty of attention as well. Classic story lines that smoothly play out with happy and satisfying endings make this book a relaxing, heartfelt, and uplifting novel.

4/5 star

Thank you NG and St. Martin's Press | St. Martin's Griffin for this wonderful arc and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.

I am posting this review to my GR and Bookbub accounts immediately and will post it to my Amazon, Instagram, and B&N accounts upon publication on 10/8/24.

Pamela Kelley is one of my favourite authors of all time. I was so thrilled and excited to be provided an advanced copy of her latest book! Always set in a seaside town with romantic twists and turns (but not the scary/thriller kind!), family, and most important, food! The main character Riley experiences some difficult situations in her life and runs home to the Cape to help her mother run her inn. While she's there, she experiences far more than what she had probably planned for. I was rooting for Riley, her mother and Franny throughout the entire story! This is a fun, lighthearted family/romantic story about women who continue to grow and change at all stages of their lives. It keeps you drawn in and you cannot wait to see what happens next. When I begin to read a Pamela Kelley book, I generally won't put it down until I am finished. Pamela's writing is unique in that you feel like you're part of the story, and that her characters are your friends and family as well.

Riley loses her job right before Christmas, she goes home to help her mother run her inn, after she breaks her leg. sweet story.

This was such a heartwarming and captivating read. Someone may want to go over again, as I did come across grammatical issues. That said, it didn't take away from the story itself. The characters were all well-defined and so easy to lose yourself in. I loved watching (reading) Riley come into her own light and shine. All the friends and relationships flowed so naturally. I would liken this to a Hallmark movie, but I feel this book was so much better and beyond that description. This book has it all: family, relationships, reuniting people, holiday magic, and charm. I will absolutely recommend this book to friends and to everyone in my book groups. Thank you for the privilege of reading and reviewing this book. 4.5⭐️

The Christmas Inn is a feel good holiday story about family and a second chance at love. Riley loses her job and decides to spend the holidays on Cape Cod to figure out next steps and help her mother after she broke her leg. I loved the setting of the book and all the characters. It definitely gave “Hallmark “ vibes. Very easy and quick read sure to get you in the Christmas spirit.
