REVIEW WEDNESDAY - Inheritance For Christmas

 Good morning, readers!

I'm back on track with this week's book. My husband put a space heater in the office to pick up the slack of the split unit and I'm finally able to work with warmer fingers.

This week's book is a novella, only ninety-seven pages. Definitely a quick read during the busiest time of year. 



BLURB:

Inheriting my grandparents’ beloved Christmas tree farm was supposed to be a dream come true. But when I arrive in the charming small town of Holly Ridge, I quickly discover the farm is in serious trouble, and it’s up to me to save it.

Enter Blake Markham—the rugged handyman who’s been helping my family for years. He’s the strong, silent type, but behind those blue eyes and flannel shirts is a heart as weathered as the farm itself. As we work side by side to bring Holly Forest Christmas Tree Farm back to life, sparks fly in ways I didn’t expect.

But can I trust my bruised heart to someone like Blake? With the pressure of keeping my grandparents’ legacy alive, and my growing feelings for Blake, I’m torn between staying safe or risking it all for love.

I loved this story. A couple of typos aside, the book was a pleasant read. I curled up with the fireplace on the TV for background, a cup of mulled cider, a cozy blanket, and a cat to keep me company set the stage for a relaxing afternoon. 

My heart went out to Avery. with parents having gone through a bitter divorce years prior,  her grandfather and Holly Ridge held her happiest memories. She was going to keep the tree farm at all costs.  Then there's Blake. He'd had his own financial issues, thanks to his father and he wanted to protect Avery

There's a surprise secondary character in this story I think you'll like. With the quick read, I'll be picking up the remaining ten books in this series.

I'm giving INHERITANCE FOR CHRISTMAS...


All my best!

REVIEW WEDNESDAY - Technical Issues

 Good morning, readers!

I'm dealing with a couple of technical issues this morning.

1 - It's cold in my office. The heat just isn't keeping up. As a result, my laptop is not cooperating

2 - In a blind moment on my part, I read NEXT WEEK'S book last night instead of this week. So I'll be curling up someplace warm today and reading this week's book.  




Review for INHERITANCE FOR CHRISTMAS will run tomorrow.  

Thank you for your patience

All my best!

FRIDAY PHOTO

 Good morning, friends!

Did you get enough to eat yesterday? One of my traditions is to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Sadly, the presentation has changed a lot in recent years and doesn't have the same attraction but I watch anyway... because it's tradition.  Do you have a Thanksgiving tradition? Maybe just curling up with a warm toddy.
