A delightful, fun second chance romance.
Riley Sanders and her marketing team have been let go right before Christmas. Not only is she out of a job, but finding time with her hardworking lawyer boyfriend Jack, is getting harder and harder to accomplish.
Talking with her sister Amy, Riley learns their mom has fallen and broken her leg and needs help running the inn. Riley packs up and heads home to pitch in during the hectic Christmas season on the Cape, never dreaming she is about to come face to face with her first love, Aidan Shaw, a widower, and his son Luke who are guests of the inn.
Life falls into a busy but comfortable pattern with her mom and the inn guests including Aiden and Luke. Fanny, who just lost her sister and is staying at the inn and enjoying the memories brought about by the sights and sounds of the area. Most surprising of all is the feeling of finding family for Riley. A feeling she didn’t know she had missed so badly.
The Christmas season brings people together and this book brings joy and a second chance at love you won’t want to miss. Grab your copy of The Christmas Inn and enjoy!

My thoughts on the book: Yes this book is very reminiscent of a typical Hallmark movie type theme. And in fact that Author makes mention of (Hallmark) several times through out the book in describing the setting and scenes in the book itself.
What I liked about the book: The characters were fun and believable and easy to relate to.
The author was very descriptive of the characters, the settings, the food, etc...this was both a plus and minus for me. I like having good descriptions of things but sometimes felt she went a little overboard on the descriptions or they were repeated a lot throughout the story.
Besides the "romance" aspect of the story there were also plot lines for the other characters besides the main character (Riley).
It was light hearted, fun and easy to read. No explicit sex scenes (which for me is a plus as I don't think they are necessary for a book to be good), no foul language either (also a plus for me). - It's the kind of book you can read from start to finish in a day or put down and pick up a few days later and get right back into the story.
What I didn't like about it: Again I did feel some of the details were repeated over and over such as the (wine/cheese) which is mentioned a lot in the book. I almost thought that the people drank way to much wine and ate way to much food to be normal. But that's just a minor "picky" detail about the book that you could easily overlook.
Over all for this kind of genre of book I would give it a 4 star rating. It was a nice, pleasant book set at Christmas time and fun to read. So I would recommend the book to anyone wanting to just sit down with a cup of tea, coffee or even a glass of wine and enjoy a relaxing time reading.

The Christmas Inn by Pamela Kelley is your typical Hallmark Holiday Christmas movie style book. Girl goes home for Christmas after losing her job to help run the Inn after her mother breaks her leg. Old boyfriend and his son are there, the mom is dead. They fall in love again, Christmas Magic!!! I found this to be a very trite and somewhat boring novel. I skipped a good part of the middle, checked to make sure the end was what I thought it would be and moved on. If you love sappy Christmas stories, this is for you!!! Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

This book hit all the right feels about a Christmas in July book. It will be very popular in the winter too. Definitely adding it to one of my favorites.

After losing her job in Manhattan just before Christmas, Riley returns home to Chatham for the holidays to help her mother at her bed and breakfast. Riley misses Manhattan and her boyfriend, but she soon falls into a comfortable routine in her hometown. After meeting new friends and getting reacquainted with an old flame, Riley begins to wonder if searching for a new job in Manhattan is the right move for her.

True to form, Pamela Kelley has written yet another heartwarming story that makes you feel like you've made new friends by the end of the book! The characters are down to earth and likeable, and the author has you cheering for them along the way. The story is reminiscent of a Hallmark movie and is a nice break when you need to relax and just enjoy a good story.

I am so glad I was able to read this upcoming novel thru NetGalley and the author Pamela Kelly. It was fun to read on a hot beach day on the Cape and will be very popular this winter too. The author sets her novel on Cape Cod and her descriptions are very true. The characters in the book all experience growth and it’s another winner for Pamela Kelley!

Absolutely loved this book! I love reading Christmas books in July and this one did not disappoint! Pamela Kelley is one of my favorite authors and have never read a book of hers that I haven't loved!

Es un libro bastante tranquilo, me sorprendió la facilidad en como Riley fue resolviendo sus cosas y que todo el tiempo estuviera serena.

El libro está narrado por tres mujeres de edades diferentes, una madre e hija y una desconocida.

-Riley fue despedida, su mamá se lastimó y aprovecho para ir a visitarla y cuidarla. Tiene una relación de años, pero cuando se aleja se da cuenta que no lo extraña y además se encuentra en su primer amor.

-Beth es mamá de Riley y Emy, sufre de depresión. Es dueña de una posada. Tiene años soltera porque su matrimonio terminó mal y no cree en el amor, pero conocerá a alguien que la hace dudar sobre mantenerse soltera y tendrá que decidir sí luchar contra sus miedos de salir lastimada o amar libremente.

-Franny es viuda, acaba de perder a su hermana y antes de su muerte le hizo prometer que se quedaría en Chatham en la posada de Beth. Además le dejo cartas con instrucciones con cosas que debería realizar.

This was the first book I read by Pamela Kelley. A 5 star read for me. It was an enjoyable book that I couldn’t put down. Finished it in one sitting . Felt like the perfect Christmas hallmark story. It made you feel like you were there with the characters in the story. I felt Riley’s sadness and regret once she went back to Manhattan after being home. It was heart warming once she went back home to Chatham. Will be reading more of her books.

what a wonderful story. Riley and Aiden deserved this second chance. Even the back up characters were great. Get some cocoa or tea and read this

The Christmas Inn by Pamela M. Kelley is beautiful romance with a Christmas theme. Second chances at love with three ladies from three generations. Ideal combination of festive joy, romance, and cozy sentiments. An enjoyable and fun reading experience all around which I will be rereading during the Holiday Season.
Thank you to the author, St. Martin's Press/St. Martin's Griffin and Netgalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

This was fantastic. This was fun, cozy, and an all around good time. I can’t wait to reread around Christmas. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC!

This is a lovely Christmas-themed romance that follows all of the rules.

I will warn you that a few things will have you rolling your eyes in disbelief. For example, when trimming a Christmas tree, they put the lights on after the garland and ornaments. Then Riley's mother, who not only owns the inn but also has her own house, just ups and leaves the Inn for hours without ever letting us know that someone works the front desk.

The unique aspect is that three different romances follow women of three different generations.

I found the inclusion of every bite they ate and every sip they took to be a bit too much filler. There was a lot of repetition, also.

Not everyone is as picky about these things as I am, however, so I definitely recommend this book to those who love clean romances with triple happily-ever-afters!

It is feel good Christmas story. No steamy sex scenes which makes a nice quick winter read. Grab a cup of Cocoa and let Riley's, Beth's and even Frannie's stories warm your heart

“The Christmas Inn” by Pamela Kelley is a sweet, cozy read that totally gives off Hallmark movie vibes. Such a cute Christmas on the Cape read! It is about Riley who loses her job and heads home to help her mom at their struggling inn. The inn’s got some issues, but with a few new ideas and the magic of Christmas, things start looking up. Plus, there’s some romance with her high school sweetheart, Aidan, who’s back in town with his son.

This book has all the festive feels you’d want. It’s light, cheerful, and perfect for getting into the holiday spirit. Some parts are a bit predictable, but overall, it’s a nice, feel-good read for the holidays.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Highly recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley aan the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Loved reading this book. I was hoping it would turn into a series. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Happy reading

This book is the written version of a Hallmark Christmas movie. Our main character Riley loses her job in New York due to her whole department being replaced by AI. Right around this time she finds out from her sister that her Mother has broken her leg. This sets us up for Riley to return to her hometown to be able to help her mother with the Inn she owns. Here we get to meet a few of the people staying a the Inn, One of these people is Franny who is back in town because her sister is very sick. We get to see part of the book through her point of view along with Riley's. We also get to follow Beth, Riley's Mother, in this story. I thought it was wonderful getting to see their little town from different points of view.

This book had all the lovely touches you would expect if you went to an actual Inn at Christmas time. It is the perfect mix of holiday spirit, romance, and cozy feelings.

Overall I think this book was very well written and is perfect for getting you into the holiday spirit,

Ai love Pamela Kelly’s books and this is no exception. A delightful story of second chances at love for 3 generations of women that bring a smile and warmth to your heart. Pamela writes with such detail that I have pictures in my mind as I read and became vested in the women’s stories. Set on the eastern coast in a cozy b and b you will lose yourself in this sweet Christmas tale.

Once again, Pamela Kelley gifts a delightful Christmas romance to her fans! Set on Cape Cod, Kelley weaves a tale of true love, and happiness for multiple generations to enjoy. Characters from previous novels are reintroduced as good friends, adding to the joy of the season in Chatham. It’s the perfect read as the season changes, and you will want to enjoy it by a warm fire with a hot beverage. Put your pre-order in today; you won’t want to miss this Yuletide gem….it will lift your spirits this holiday and make a great stocking stuffer too!
