Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for It Started With Christmas by Jenny Hale! I am super excited to share this with you as I adore Jenny's books and she's such a lovely lady!


Description:
 
A beautiful, feel-good Christmas story. You’ll laugh, cry, and fall in love with this wonderfully warm and MAGICAL festive romance…

Holly McAdams loves spending the Christmas holidays at her family’s cozy cabin, with its little red door and twinkling lights, tucked in the snowy hills outside Nashville. But this year will be different. Someone unexpected is joining them…

After Holly and her beloved Nana struggle through a snow storm to reach the cabin, they discover gorgeous and wealthy Joseph Barnes, who has been renting the cabin for the last few weeks, is now snowed in. And it looks like he’ll be staying for the holidays.

Determined to make the best of the surprise situation, Holly tries to bring everyone together by baking delicious treats and decorating the cabin with plenty of festive sparkle. She finds herself growing close to handsome Joseph, who is unlike anyone she’s ever met before, even if Nana isn’t so keen on the dashing stranger with the mysterious past.

But charming and irresistible musician Rhett Burton is also back in town. Thrown into close proximity with the person who used to be her best friend and the man who broke her heart, Holly realizes it’s time to face her feelings and figure out what she really wants from her life. But to complicate things, both Joseph and Rhett have secrets to reveal…

Will Holly be able to find herself and the love she’s always dreamed of this Christmas?

Author Bio:

When I graduated college, one of my friends said, "Look out for this one; she's going to be an author one day." Despite being an avid reader and a natural storyteller, it wasn't until that very moment that the idea of writing novels occurred to me.

Sometimes our friends can see the things that we can't.

While I didn't start straight away, that comment sowed a seed and several years, two children, and hundreds of thousands of words later, I completed a novel that I felt was worthy of publication. The result was Coming Home for Christmas, a heart-warming story about the magic of love at Christmas, and 2017 TV movie on The Hallmark Channel. 

The rest is history. 

When I'm not writing, I'm a mother of two boys and a wife to a very supportive husband.

My Thoughts on It Started With Christmas:

For me, it just isn't Christmas without a new Jenny Hale book. Her festive stories always make me feel warm and fuzzy. They bring romance, drama, laughter and a good sprinkling of Southern hospitality. They make me reminisce about Christmases back home in Canada and they make me so happy!

Holly and Nana are the perfect duo to enjoy reading about. They are the sweetest family and when you add Joe to the mix, things get more interesting. Joe is a sleek big city boy who should be out of place in this cabin in the woods, but he isn't. He is relaxed and cool and I really like him. When he manages to engage Nana, their exchanges are so cute!

When Rhett enters the picture, things get complicated for Holly. Nana knows what she thinks should happen but Holly has been hurt by him and is afraid to risk that happening again. So she keeps herself busy planning the festivities and entertaining the unexpected guest. There is a fair big of intrigue, will they or won't they, happening in this book and I loved it!

It Started With Christmas is the loveliest way to unwind and relax. Grab yourself a big mug of hot chocolate, light the fire and get lost in this Nashville Christmas! 10/10



Big thanks to Noelle at Bookouture for allowing me to participate in this tour!

2015: The year of working, laughing, loving and living

Well, here we are. A week and a half into the new year. Are you all sticking to your resolutions? I am, so far. I decided that I want to be more Sparkly. That to me, means happier, nicer, more kind and caring. It means feeling good about myself and my choices. It means feeling free to love and laugh. Over the years I have lost my giggle. That was one thing my Mum told me in a letter she wrote me before she died. Never stop giggling. And I'm sad to say I did stop. People have noticed, family and friends have commented on it. My fiancé has mentioned it more than once and it was starting to cause problems. I got quite depressed and struggled on a daily basis. Books were kind of a saving grace as was Twitter. But the real world and my REAL life were shut out. So, this year I have decided to change all of that. 2015 is my year of laughing, loving, travelling, working, smiling, playing and giggling. I will still read and review, but only the books I choose. No more blog tours unl...
