“This is a heartwarming holiday read that I think everyone who loves romance should read.” – Shakespeare’s Wench Book Blog

What a difference One Christmas makes…

All Irene wants is to have a peaceful celebration with family and the new man in her life at her annual Christmas Eve dinner. But the appearance of her arrogant ex-husband, Dean, dashes her hopes as he seeks a second chance.

Meanwhile, Irene’s adult children, Anthony, Gloria, and Jake, as well as her nephew, Christopher, are all caught in their own webs of romance and heartache.

Anthony yearns to warm the lonely heart of Ava, a barista in his mother’s coffee shop. Only she’s completely sworn off romance.

Gloria is determined to bring holiday cheer to her brooding neighbor, Lucas, and convinces him to be her fake boyfriend so she can make him see the light.

Jake thinks he’s found a woman he could finally commit to and works hard to gain the trust of her guarded young daughter, Josephine. Only he’s taken by surprise by a secret admirer.

As for Christopher, he tries to fight the attraction he feels to Jake’s girlfriend, Morgan, a woman he let slip away years ago.

Everyone’s set to meet at Irene’s traditional Christmas Eve dinner, where sparks are sure to fly. But with a little bit of the season’s magic, this Christmas might become one they will never forget.

This is Book 1 in The Celebrations Series of standalone books.

This story of five endearing couples yearning for love and facing significant romantic obstacles over the Christmas season will warm your heart and make you want to read it again and again. Click now on "Look Inside" to get started.

This is Book 1 in The Celebrations Series of standalone books. The story gives us five couples yearning for love and facing significant romantic obstacles over the Christmas season. It can be a kind of roller coaster at times with emotions. It is not what I had been expecting, which was something lighthearted, fun-filled, joyous Christmas type read. The reader must also pay attention to the characters to avoid getting lost in the story. It wasn’t a bad read, just not what I look for when diving into the Christmas spirit.

Family Drama that leads to a beautiful holiday

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2020

IT is hot and sunny as I write this review and I can not help it....my soul aches for the colder weather and Christmas. This is a fantastic "movie" that plays out page after page. Has Hallmark grabbed it up yet for the holiday season??
There is no one front and center love story instead it is a family drama that plays out leading up the annual Christmas Eve dinner. The only obvious trope is Grown up Child, Gloria and her fake romance to avoid all of the why aren't you married questions. Matriarch of the bunch Irene will have plenty of questions thrown her way as she deals with ex-husband and her new beau all while their three grown children and one nephew have their own romantic landmines to navigate during Holiday everyone feels pressured into enjoying.
But what is this Christmas all goes exactly the way everyone hopes for?
Told through Multi-points of view, starting with Irene.
Very satisfying contemporary romance to get you looking forward to the Holidays.
If you love tv shows such as "brothers & Sisters" and "Parenthood" you will LOVE this novel.

One Confusing Christmas

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2020

You know a book is going to have a lot going on if the author not only provides a character list showing the multiple interrelationships between them, but that list has 20 characters to follow! I found this book far too busy with too many characters to keep track of. Something interesting would happen in one person's storyline, but we wouldn't get back to that for several chapters. And, of course, that kept happening over and over. The relationships explored seemed too similar. With so many characters, I would have loved to have seen a variety of types of romances, but they all seemed to share too many commonalities. Some characters I certainly didn't like, including ones that other characters eventually got together with. I'm not a fan of seeing bad heroes get the woman. All in all, I did not like this book.

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

Full of emotions and twists

Well talk about a twisted web we weave!!! This book is full of emotions and twists. Each chapter seems to be about a different character or pair of and I found this a bit confusing until I worked out who was who. Basically it's about a mother looking out for her children in the rollercoaster ride of LOVE!! She herself has been very hurt by her ex who now wants her back. Everybody seems to have a skeleton in their cupboard, that seems to appear at just the wrong moment to ruin that budding relationship. It's also written on the countdown to Christmas. The book finishes on Christmas Eve at Irene's (mother) traditional family meal. What a mess, will some be lucky in love or are some too damaged????

Characters all around!

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2020

I really liked the idea of this book. However, I found it difficult to keep up with the all the characters and the plot line for each story. I found myself flipping back and forth to the character page or looking at the picture on my phone to remind me of who each person was in the story. It was really interesting how all the characters lives intertwined with each other. There's a little something for everyone in this story: second chance romance, holiday romance, family restoration...it's got it all.

A family full of issues and romance during the holidays. Over a week, we meet the mother who has to deal with an ex I would like to strangle, children who each have a connection to make and a nephew who wants an ex girlfriend back. Lots of drama and fun times as well as this group navigates the upcoming holiday and all their intense feelings. You will not be able to put this book down and the ending is worth it. What a wonderful mini vacation into this world.

Love and heart-breaks are in the air as young and old find out they aren't with the ppl who really love them for who they really are. The ones they are with in the beginning of the story just brings the other person down but later after heartaches and heart breaks and all the emotional confusion with the side of stressful debates and situations they risk it all. This is a drama filled Christmas romance more than what im used to but in the end it was a pretty good book.
I got a free copy of this book and i voluntarily read it thru the ARC.

This is the 1st book I've read written by Karine Saint Jacques; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
