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.

Christmans vibes
Romance
Family with three generations
Feel good story
Quick and easy read

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!

Typical Christmas feel-good book worthy of a Hallmark movie vibe? Yup! Small town, old flames rekindled, second chances all around, discovering the magic of the season: all the elements needed are checked off. Pretty saccharine, true romance with out salacious content, kind language make this holiday read cozy. So grab a cup of hot chocolate and a throw, set the fire, and enjoy the story. Many thanks to #netgalley, #pamelakelly thechristmasinn for the opportunity to read and review this book. 3.5 / 5 rounded to a 4.

3.5 stars. This heartwarming Christmas book is exactly what you are looking for in a Christmas book. It is like reading a Hallmark movie. This book is set on a small town in Cape Cod. The story deals with three generations of women who come together during the holiday season to bring each other joy and hope. They find lasting friendships and possibly some love sprinkled in there. Thanks to Netgalley for the advance copy.

Loved this sweet second chance story for several characters in this story . The Inn sounds like a wonderful place to visit , love that the characters at the Inn each had a story to tell .

I received this book free of charger from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Riley loses her job just before Christmas so she decide to head home to help her mom out. Her mom owns a B&B and recently broke her leg. She finds out that her high school boyfriend, Aiden, and his son are staying there while their home is being repaired. She loves reconnecting with Aiden, who lost his wife 3 years earlier but she has a boyfriend back in NYC. Jack is a lawyer who is workaholic trying to make partner and his firm. This doesn't leave much time for Riley. One of the other guests is Franny, who's sister recently died and left her 4 letters to read. One each week. I would love to see this story expanded on.

This was a fun read. Nothing earth shattering happens but a delightful rom-com. A solid 4/5 stars

This story was delightful to read. It's sweet, has big-time Hallmark vibes (even when it's not mentioned directly), and has something for readers of all ages.

One of my favorite aspects of this story is there is love for all ages. It can be romantic love, familial love, or platonic love. But also, you see love for hometown businesses and traditions. This was truly a story about finding joy in your life and I enjoyed that a lot.

Our story starts with Riley being unexpectedly laid off at work, due to AI taking over her team's roles on the Content Marketing team. She then finds out her mom has broken her leg and offers to come up for a few weeks to help out. When she tells her boyfriend, Jack(ass), he's nonchalant and Riley packs up her cat, Lily, and off they go.

Once Riley's back on the Cape, she finds herself spending time with her family, and guests at the family's bed & breakfast, including Aiden, her high-school sweetheart, and his son, Luke. Riley also meets Franny, who is visiting due to her older sister's passing and is fulfilling her last request, which was having Franny visit different places based on memories from their past.

One of my favorite parts of this story was that while it has the cheesy factor that we all love, there are some definite improvements over an actual Hallmark movie. For one, I liked that was some more realism for the characters and their careers. Riley has her job, and she's in a position where AI has eliminated her role: AI is discussed so much in the media, but I appreciated the author including such a relevant issue. I also really liked that Aiden has stayed in Chatham, but he has a successful career, and it didn't involve running some very obscure, niche, small business.

Another aspect I enjoyed was that, from a romance aspect, we see couples of all ages having a chance to connect. Riley's story dominates, but we see her Mom, and Sean, Franny, and her high-school-sweetheart, Joe. I appreciated this because as you age, your views on love and relationships change. The things you think are so important in your 20s may be less important in your 50s, or 70s. It was nice to see the phases of life and love be highlighted.

I would definitely recommend this book. It's a wonderful palette cleanser, especially if you usually read heavier books. From a purely holiday story perspective, this story has small-town charm, precious memories and second chances, and the love that makes the Christmas season so magical.

Pamela Kelley does it again; what cute Christmas joy to add to your list this year! ‘The Christmas Inn’ feels like watching a Hallmark movie in your fave cozy chair, wrapped in a blanket with a hot chocolate.

The novel follows Riley, who after losing her job unexpectedly, heads home to help her Mom run their Inn. There is a great cast of characters, with lots of moments of humor and love.

If you love sweet, holiday-themed books, add this one to your wish list this year!

Thank you to Netgalley and St Martin’s Press by the ARC of this novel; all opinions are my own.

The Christmas Inn had all the Hallmark feels in this book that I couldn't put down and highly recommend. Brew a cup of cinnamon tea, picture yourself in Cape Cod and treat yourself to this hearwarming story about second chances at love and the bonds that unite families. Make your TBR list and check it twice but put this at the top of the list. Pamela's Kelley's novel is heartwarming and will fill you with the holiday spirit!

This book give me HUGE Christmas spirit, and I was here for it. This gave me the hallmark romance vibes, the small town, EVERYTHING cute and cheesy that I like. I adore this author too.

My first Christmas book of the season. I loved it. It’s like a hallmark movie in a book. The Inn was a great setting and I loved the happy ending.

This story gives all the feel good Hallmark Christmas movie vibes. It’s a cute story with a very happy ending! Who doesn’t love a widowed single father finding love again with his high school sweetheart?!
This is an intergenerational story with multiple characters finding love.

The Inn made for the perfect setting! I love all of the descriptions of the inn, the activities, and the food they served. This story definitely made me hungry.

Overall, a sweet story that will put you in the mood for Christmas!

Wow! Just finished this sweet story of second chances. I simply couldn't put this novel down. Reading a Pamela Kelley novel is always a treat
I knew there was a reason I didn't like Jack. I don't like someone who's practically married to his work.
Riley is is a smart lady and I liked her immediately just not her name lol.
Sometimes it takes time and space for the right reasons for us to realize our dreams.
Did I say that the food in this story will absolutely make you drool? It definitely did me! Wow!
I really enjoyed this story.
I wished I had some of Luke's energy!
The cover is gorgeous y'all.
There's also no place like home. Home is the nicest word there is. Friends and family are what makes a home and sometimes just maybe even the town itself.
I love reading books with the setting of Chatham in it.
5 stars for keeping me engaged from start to finish
I highly recommend.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.
