In the enchanting mountain town of Chestnut Ridge, where tree farms blanket the hillsides and the promise of a white Christmas is ever-present, a heartwarming holiday romance is about to blossom. When Sheila's best friend convinces her to help decorate a tree in the annual Christmas Tree Stroll fundraiser, she embarks on an unexpected journey of self-discovery, all wrapped in the cozy embrace of a tight-knit community. As she immerses herself in the joy of twinkling lights, hot cocoa, and the camaraderie of the townsfolk, Sheila's world begins to transform, and she finds the sense of belonging she never knew she needed.

Meanwhile, Tucker, the town's reliable fire captain, is gathering volunteers to help a family with four young children who have just lost their home to a devastating fire weeks before Christmas. Sheila offers her helping hand, and as the town rallies to support the family in their time of need, sparks of love begin to flicker between her and Tucker.

In this charming town where dreams come true, and Christmas magic is everywhere, come along for a tale of love, community, and the true spirit of the season.

 

A sweet and sentimental holiday season! With the second book in her Chestnut Ridge series, Nancy Naigle brings us a delightful tale of friendship and warmth during the holiday season as Natalie from the first book in the series persuades her best friend Sheila to come for a visit over Christmas. The characters are familiar and endearing and seeing Sheila let herself be submerged into smalltown life is heartwarming. I wanted a little more follow through with Sheila and Tucker, but overall I enjoyed the story and recommend it to anyone that loves a downhome Christmas feel in a sweet holiday romance.
