Cute Novella Just in Time for Christmas! 'America's Favorite Christmastown - by Dawn Klinge

 


About the book:

YouTube vlogger Alexis Jacobson knows how to create the perfect aspirational Christmas for her viewers. She has made promotional videos for resorts and far-flung travel destinations for several successful years. Still, the fantasy she creates isn't real, nor is her relationship with her co-star and business partner. When keeping up the illusion gets to be too much, Alexis finds herself out of a job with no place of her own to call home. That's when Alexis's Oma asks for help getting some new vacation rentals in Icicle Creek up and running. Alexis agrees to return to the place she used to call home to stop Oma's plans. Someone Oma's age should be taking it easy, right? So when Alexis discovers Justin Karon is the real estate agent behind the proposed deal, she questions his motives. Appearances can be deceiving-as she would know. Justin seems like a great guy, and yes, Alexis had a crush on him back in high school, but a lot has changed since then. Despite her misgivings, sparks start to fly between these two. But are these feelings real? And will going home help Alexis re-discover the true spirit of Christmas?

My review:

This was  cute story about a young woman who wants a fresh start after her business partner leaves her high and dry.  I liked the plot about going back to your small town and helping your grandmother but we didn't get told any details.  The same thing happened with her helping create a video for the contest they entered.  A lot of cute moments could have been explored as they created it but we're just told they're going to and then it jumps to the end of the story.  I liked Alexis and how she was so protective of her grandmother and jumped in to help her.  Justin seemed like a great guy for helping her grandmother so much, among other things.  There's a brief mention of God's blessings but otherwise I would classify it more as  a clean read.  There's some romance.  Overall, if you're looking for a clean Christmas read you might want to check it out!

I received a free ebook of this book from JustRead Tours.  I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.
