A Wedding in December: A Christmas Romance

This book kind of drove me crazy with all the secrets everyone was keeping from each other and what happened when they started being revealed. Maggie is the mother of Rosie and Katie, she and their father Nick are keeping it a secret that they have been discussing getting a divorce and have been separated for several months. Maggie is also keeping a secret from all her family. Katie has been avoiding her family and trying not to come apart because of a traumatic event that happened to her at the hospital where she works, plus she is considering not being a doctor. Rosie has been sitting on her feelings for a long time because she does not like confrontations. It takes Rosie getting married in Colorado at Christmas in less than a month's time to shake up her family enough to start them on a path to healing, but in the process Rosie might lose the man of her dreams. I loved the ending of this book as it was full of sage advice. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Whenever I pick up a book by this talented author, I know, without a doubt, that I will not only be enchanted but I will also be loving it as well. This one proved the point. Yes, it’s a romance that is not rushed and one to be savored, but it’s more than that . It’s a story about the complexities, and dynamics of family and secrets that are being kept. In this case the White women, Maggie, Katie, and Rosie are the ones keeping the secrets . Each woman is filled with uncertainties about their futures. Will Maggie, Katie and Rosie find happiness and peace in the season of hope and new beginnings? A perfect holiday story filled with complex characters that are perfect in their imperfections. I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

This is a heartwarming and touching Christmas story set in the beautiful Rocky Mountains (I may be biased as I live in Colorado😊). I enjoyed that it is told from alternating POV’s of the Mother, Maggie, and two daughters, Rosie and Katie. They are each facing different major milestones in their lives and learning to be the person they really want to be. It has humor, real life family drama and of course, romance. I loved the detail of the scenery and the winter wonderland setting it had me envisioning. I highly recommend this book to put you in the Christmas Spirit. Not going to post a spoiler, but I would really love a continuation of Katie’s story in the future. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader copy of this book.
