This was a total 5-star read for me. It's not just a romance, it is also a story of redemption. Tori has been dealt some hard blows in life that have left her grappling with her faith. So much so she becomes angry with God and starts questioning his hand in her life. But thank goodness for the guidance, patience and persistance of her best friend Micah. Micah and Tori have been best friends since they were kids and nothing ever came between them, that is until she married his brother Joel. But the more Joel is away (in the service) the more Micah comes back around to support his friend Tori, and his nephew. When Joel is killed in the line of duty Micah steps it up to be there for Tori and Aiden (his nephew). But when Tori's home is lost in a fire, and she and Aiden have to move in... it is a bit too much for Micah to handle. He's always loved her, but that's his SIL and she will never see him like that. Plus, he's spent his life in Joel's shadow, he certainly isn't trying to step in and be a backup option for Tori. But Tori needs Micah, as a friend, a male in her sons life, and just guidance as she struggles with her faith. As they feel a pull towards each other, they both try to ignore it, but for how long? And when a job opportunity gives Micah a chance to get the space he needs from his feelings for Tori, what happens if he takes it?!

What to expect:
Christian Romance
Faith themes / bible verses
Friends to Lovers
Widowed/single FMC
Firefighter MMC
BOTH are teachers
They are BIL & SIL

Mindy is an amazing author, I literally picked up this book TODAY and read it all TODAY, I just had to follow through with this story. Plus, I am not going to lie.... Micah is pretty much a dream MMC, so yeah, I half stuck it out to keep reading more about him, and how amazing he is, lol. LOVED this story, can not wait to see what is next for Mindy!

I received a free copy of this book, but my review expresses my own opinions.

Rediscovering Christmas is a continuation of a series. I love the series and Mindy as an author. I just found it difficult to finish because of the subject matter. I still loved the book.

I loved this one.
I loved Tori instantly. She's one amazing lady. One I enjoyed in getting to know.
My heart went out to her in losing everything because it's hard to start over. You can star over but it won't be easy or the same for sentimental reasons.
I love how this sweet story of love, faith and family comes together.
I will miss these characters for they have become my friends and their town my home.
Beautiful cover too!
5 stars for a sweet and relaxing read that I finished in an evening. I recommend.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

Tori's house is destroyed by wildfire, and she loses everything. she moves in with her mother and brother-in-law, she has always been great friends with her brother-in-law, but is it more than friendship?

I absolutely love Harlequin Love Inspired books and especially their books about Christmas. Mindy Obenhaus "Rediscovering Christmas" is a wonderful, spirit-filled book.
