 When Lisa takes a last-minute Christmas trip to her hometown of Evergreen, she finds that the historic general store has closed. The place was a beloved local tradition, and she decides to use her skills as a professional retail designer to bring it back to its former glory. She charms a local contractor, Kevin, into working with her, and the pair find themselves facing one surprise after another. One of the biggest surprises of all is finding the mysterious 25-year-old letter to Santa that never made it to the North Pole. Who really wrote it, and will its request come true at last? And will Lisa and Kevin figure out what they’re truly wishing for? This sweet small-town romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Incredible Apple Dumplings. My Review: This sweet Christmas story really struck a chord with me and sends you on a chase that somethings are just not what they seem. Lisa and Kevin's chemistry is awkward, but enjoyable as they come together in what can be a challenging time of year for some. Their character quirks really makes their romance so much more natural though. Does that even make sense? :-) Do you remember that first time you met your significant other and battling those flutterings and trying to talk yourself out of having a crush? Honestly, you won't regret picking this one up. 5 hearts on this one and this will be one of those I add to my re-read list on my Kindle. GRAB YOUR COPY TODAY!

Read an Excerpt: “That’s enough for today, you can put your shoes on.” Her words confirmed that the door was firmly shut. I set about doing as I was told, trying to find a way to get that warm look back in her eyes. I felt like today was the day to push it. She had let down her defences, if only for a moment, and I’d had enough waiting. “So,” I said, moving in to stand close enough I could smell her. Shit. That sexy aroma would stay with me all day. “The answer is no, again,” she muttered, not looking up from her device. “You don’t know what I was going to ask.” “Yes I do. You are going to ask me out for a drink or dinner. Again. And I am going to blow you off. Again.” “And what if I have a different sort of proposal?” “Will it end up with you asking me out?” she asked on a sigh but looked up at me with her big eyes partially hidden by her dark hair dancing across her brow and falling at her cheek. This look, the dancing spitfire eyes, a smirk on her mouth, head tilted to the side exposing her neck and shoulder as she waited to pounce on my next words, was one of my favourites. It’s what I conjured when I took care of myself lying in bed, in the shower… Enough. “Well, that would be up to you. If you want to go out after, then sure, but I don’t do relationships,” I told her, unable to hide my grin as her brows furrowed. “After what?” she asked, trying to look bored and failing. I could see the heat in her cheeks as she figured it out. I stepped closer, forcing her back, and she ended up against the shelves. About the Author: 
Returning from the States, her career took a different turn as she started working at the Red Cross and completed her Masters of Law in Human Rights. As one of the few non-lawyers in the class, her essays were far more floral than the rest, something that caused the discerning professors to shake their heads. Through working and studying, she realised there are other ways to win hearts and minds. While she’s spent the last 14 years as an advocate against poverty and homelessness, the desire to change the world through storytelling has only got stronger. She now lives in the Alpine Valleys of North East Victoria, Australia with her husband, daughter, son, two dogs and seven chooks. When she’s not doing the whole mum thing, working at a homelessness agency, renovating her farmhouse, or trying to do laundry bleary-eyed at midnight, she is writing.

A Down Home Christmas was a heartwarming read. It's easy to get swept up in trying to make the right career choices, and thinking you're making the right decisions for family, but fate sometimes has another plan for you. Kris Trabeau learns that very lesson and gains so much more in return. 5 Hearts for this read and I highly recommend you get this book right away.
