About the book:
All Emma Daley wants this holiday season is a white Christmas. But
the young teacher and struggling musician sure can't find that in sunny
Arizona. Luckily, there's someone living in a perfect mountain home in
the Colorado Rockies looking to make a vacation trade.
West Prescott is an in-demand songwriter and talented musician who put his own singing career on hold to write songs for celebrity acts to perform. When his mother convinces him to do a vacation trade for Christmas, he never imagined one of the houseguests would be so sweet--or so strikingly pretty. Naturally, he decides to stick around, and to get better acquainted, he poses as the caretaker of his own house. But when Emma's friend Gillian discovers his true identity and sets her sights on him, things get . . . messy.

My review:
This was a fun light read perfect for getting me in the Christmas spirit! I loved the idea of going to a ski town for Christmas, especially as Emma had never seen snow! It seemed to be a Hallmark movie kind of setting. I really liked Emma and her peaceful and peacemaking ways. Gillian and her mom were a bit annoying but it didn't get too bad. They definitely created some drama! West seemed like a good guy and prayed at different times in the story. Emma's parents were missionaries and that was about the extent of the faith content. There was a little bit of romance, some skiing and music and of course, Christmas! I read Melody Carlson's new Christmas book every year and I recommend this one if you're looking for a sweet, cozy Christmas story.
I received this book free from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
