Book Description:

The Buchanan sisters all share special childhood memories of their Aunt Sassy’s beloved Juniper Inn. There, they frolicked in the snow, baked sugar cookies, and celebrated the town’s annual Christmas extravaganza. They haven’t been back to Colorado in nearly fifteen years, but when their aunt invites them for one last Christmas, they can’t say no . . .

With her ex-husband whisking her children away for the holiday, Dahlia decides it’s time to do something for herself. Juniper Springs is just as beautiful as she remembers, but it’s also full of surprises — including the town’s handsome doctor, who makes her feel like herself again for the first time in years.

To the outside world, baker Magnolia has the ideal marriage. Only the pain and sorrow of infertility have strained her relationship with her husband, perhaps beyond repair. But a holiday miracle is about to change her life.

After a whirlwind romance, youngest sister Rose is about to be married, but as the wedding draws near, she’s unsettled by her fiancé’s expectations that she become a society wife. Spending Christmas with her family could be a necessary reality check — or the beginning of a brand-new happily ever after.

Thanks to the strength of their sisterhood, some mistletoe, and the love of their Aunt Sassy, the Buchanan sisters will discover what it is they truly want this Christmas.


Thoughts:

I am such a “mood” reader. If you asked me what my favorite genre is, that’s an easy “mystery / dead bodies” response, but then when summer and Christmas roll around, I love romance and contemporary reads to match the light-hearted moods of those times of the year.


This was such a cute “Hallmark-ish” feel of a book. It’s about three sisters who are called back to the Inn their aunt runs for one last Christmas together. They are all dealing with various issues (infertility, divorce, engagement) and they re-discover themselves. This book touches on self-discovery, family, romance, forgiveness, acceptance, identity and strength.

I really enjoyed this sweet and charming story and can’t wait to read the second in this series The Summer Sisters.
