The Christmas Wish
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
What an enchanting story! As the beginning of a series, this is a wonderful start. I look forward to more from Sunshine, Colorado.
This story is written in a dual POV format. Getting a glimpse into both characters' thoughts really help me to fully understand and connect to them.
I would recommend this story to anyone who loves the second chance of romance. These characters are 39 and 40 which is something that I also enjoyed. There are just a few kissing scenes. I would also suggest that a tissue be ready in case you tear up easily. I do and I sure needed one a time or two.
Melinda Curtis’s The Christmas Wish
Sunshine Valley, Colorado has a new town manager, Everett Bollinger. In order for the town to prosper, he needs to cut back on the Christmas festivities. So he has earned the nickname ”Scrooge” throughout the town. This is also the town where the Sunshine Valley Widows Club(the secret Sunshine Valley Matchmakers Club resides. They pick a person to make a match without that person knowing what is happening. This year Rosalie Reyes, a widow and owner of the new Sunshine Pets shop with a Saint Bernard dog named Remy will be the one to be matched. Everett is divorced and receives a surprise, when his ex-wife’s terrier mix dog named Tinkerbell who is a real trip arrives on his doorstep. Mix a town Scrooge, a widowed pet store owner, a Saint Bernard & terrier mix for an adventurous read!!! There was definitely chemistry between Rosalie and Everett but will they overcome their issues to act upon it. They will if the Sunshine Matchmakers manage to succeed. Both the targeted two couple were well fleshed, realistic and relatable main characters. The supporting characters were well written. This is intricately woven story that will delight and entertain the reader. A magical, heartwarming read!!! I volunteered to read The Christmas Wish. Thanks to the author and publisher via NetGallery for the opportunity. My opinion is voluntary and my own.
