Big city business woman Kylee Spokes gains custody of a pair of four-year-old twins after sudden death of her sister and her husband. Her plans to return to the city are delayed when she finds herself out of her depth with children, paramedic Evan Hollister isn't about to abandon his godchildren, so he offers to help share the responsibility for the kids as they find their new normal.

A heartwarming romance where big city meets small town, the children are adorable and are craving stability after their world fell apart. Evan is great with the kids, and has known them all their lives. I liked how he helps Kylee think of things in a new light, and encourages her to get in touch with her roots.

Overall, a sweet heartwarming Christmas romance with great characters, faith and family in a small town. Great for fans of cozy Christmas movies!

She's coming back to her hometown to take over guardianship of her sister's twins. Adjusting to her new life will be harder than expected. He's been helping take care of the twins the past few months while waiting for her to come. Did his best friend and her sister make the right choice? Will she be the right person to raise the twins? Where will she live with them? In the only home they know or back where she's been living? Be prepared with tissues as they deal with the changes in everyone's lives and grief.

I loved A Guardian Till Christmas. It wasn't a second chance love story but it is a story of second chances & redemption. Kylee & Evan were a wonderful match, and I absolutely adored watching them care for the twins. Sweet Christmas story.

A Guardian till Christmas by Danielle Thorne is a sweet story. I like the author’s friendly writing style which made the story easy to read. I enjoyed getting to know Kylee Spokes, Evan Hollister, and the rambunctious twins. I thought the characters were realistic and developed. I felt for Kylee as she adapted from managing interns to taking care of high-spirited four-year-old twins. It can be challenging to keep track of one lively child, I cannot imagine two mischievous tots, especially when you are out and about. It provided some amusing moments as well as some touching ones. I liked seeing the characters grow and relationships develop. Faith was nicely woven into the story. The ending made me happy and left me smiling. A Guardian till Christmas is a heartwarming tale with a painful loss, a beleaguered businesswoman, a troubled godparent, energetic twins, loads of laundry, a caring grandparent, a meal emergency, and a cheerful Christmas.

What a delightful read! The opposites attract mian characters encounter some bumps in the road while trying to make a family with the orphaned twins. It was so inspirational and I enjoyed seeing their relationships grow as they all become a new family. Faith filled stories are my favorite to read. Danielle Thorne writes them so well and I love reading her books. Sweet story, great characters and a heartwarming Christmas romance. You will love this book!

Kylee returns to her hometown after her sister Mia and her husband die in an accident, leaving her as the guardian of their twins. Though she only plans to stay through Christmas, she meets Evan, the twins’ godfather, who feels guilty for not being able to save Mia and her husband. As Kylee and Evan care for the children, romantic feelings develop, but Kylee plans to return to New York while Evan wants to stay in their small town.

The story is a heartwarming Christmas romance, focusing on family, healing, and the bond between Kylee, Evan, and the children.

This is a sad in some places, yet heartwarming story for the Christmas season. Kylee, a woman who has a high powered NYC job comes back to her hometown after the loss of her sister and brother-in-law in a tragic accident. They left their young twins in her guardianship after their deaths and she is there to get them ready to move to NYC.

After arriving she meets their honorary uncle Eric, a local firefighter paramedic. He loves the kids and would love nothing more than to be the one to raise them and keep them right in their small town in Georgia.

I liked that this is a sweet romance for Christmas and that the kids in this book have some funny antics for the adults in their lives. Eric is definitely a hero that many would swoon over while reading this book. This is a hallmark type story for sure for anyone looking for that type of read for the Christmas season.

Thank you to Netgalley and Harlequin Books for an opportunity to read an ARC of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Any time twin children are in the storyline, it brings a smile to my face. When the children are put in the custody of their aunt whose life has been centered around her job and not children, it made for a delightful book as she tries to navigate and get used to her life being turned upside down. Such a delightful book and would make a great Christmas gift for someone. It is scheduled to be released 10/22/2024 from the Harlequin Love Inspired series.

A cute little story that I very much enjoyed.
Finishing this book in one afternoon was a pure delight.
I felt like I was a part Kylee's family and friends. I really enjoyed in getting to know each character.
Especially Henry and Annabelle. It's sad how they lost their parents at 4 but they still had lots to offer us readers. I laughed at some of their antics.
I love these heartwarming stories. They bring me joy
And leaves my heart feeling full and satisfied.
I appreciate the value of forgiveness in order to move on.
Sometimes it's hard but it's a must to give us a peace of mind.
I really enjoyed this story. 5 stars from me.
My thanks for a wonderful read. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

Kylee has spent her life feeling like she had to compete with her sister Mia. So much so that she left her hometown to make a name for herself in New York. She was successful, but was she happy? When an accident kills both Mia and her husband, Kylee has to head back to her hometown to take over guardianship of her sisters twins. She plans to stay only for Christmas , that is until she runs into the twins godfather, Evan. Evan blames himself for not being able to save his friends and is determined to me make sure the twins are okay. So when the inexperienced Kylee comes to town, Evan finds himself constantly overstepping out of concern for the twins. With time they find they both love the twins and they need to work together. But as Evan and Kylee spend more and more time together feelings start to develop. But Kylee has no plans to stay in town. And Evan has no plans to ever leave. So where does that leave them, and the twins?!

I loved this story. It was just a sweet read and I read it all in one day! I think in the beginning I expected one to be the hero and the other rescued. But really both Kylee and Evan are both struggling personally and they need each other and they need to do right by the kids. And in some ways it competes with each other, trying to show who is more suited as the kids guardian. But in other ways they balance each other out and quickly become what the other isn't. Sweet story!
