REVIEW: I have had the wonderful pleasure of having a nice visit back in Granite Ridge with the lovely folks that live there and I feel like I’ve known these folks for the last three years. I started reading and reviewing Soul Sisters at Cedar Mountain Lodge from the very beginning and have read every book in the series. I think there are two more coming out this year and they are on my radar so keep your eyes open for my reviews.

This book is about Leslie and Eric. They were married several years prior and relocated Seattle. They eventually divorced and Eric moved back to be near family in Granite Ridge. Three years ago Leslie lost her father and moved back to help her mother with the Christmas Tree farm that belongs to her family. She has avoided Eric like the plague. You should know if you live in a small town, you are going to eventually run into someone you may not want to see. I’m keeping my mouth shut about what occurs when that happens!

If you’ve read any of the other books in this series you will recognize cameo appearances by other characters you remember. That’s what I love about this series. You get to catch up with the characters you’ve come to love in the other books. This is such a heartwarming series and since it takes place at Christmas time, that just makes it a little more special.

If you know Tammy Grace, you know she always includes a dog or two…or more! I love the furbabies and I want to be able to sit down to love on them a little bit. They are the ones that truly bring “special” to these books. I always wish that my babies were as well behaved as the ones in the books!

If you love small towns, holiday stories with the addition of good dogs and characters you  know well, then this book and series is for you. By the way, the first book in the series is still a free download! It is called Christmas Sisters and if you haven’t started the series, now is the time! Until next time…Happy Reading!

I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the author. Opinions express in this review are completely my own.

SYNOPSIS: Random circumstances brought them together. Love made them family.Years ago, Leslie and Eric divorced, with Eric returning to Granite Ridge and Leslie staying in Seattle. Now, Leslie is back in town and grappling with the recent loss of her mother, while struggling to run the family tree farm on her own.

She’s done her best to steer clear of Eric, but their worlds collide at the local Christmas fundraiser, sparking a heated disagreement. Eric attempts to make amends, only to be rebuffed by Leslie’s lingering resentment.

As the holiday season unfolds, with the help of Jo and Luke, these two wounded souls meet again and bond over their quest to help bring some Christmas magic to someone who needs it even more than they do. Will their shared commitment bring healing and hope to their fractured hearts?

Christmas Hearts is a tender holiday tale that reminds us of the transformative power of love, the strength of the human spirit, and the holiday magic that can be found in the most unlikely circumstances.

If you’re a fan of small towns, heartwarming family holiday stories, along with a few furry friends, you’ll fall in love with the latest book featuring more from the Soul Sisters at Cedar Mountain Lodge Series written by USA Today bestselling author, Tammy L. Grace.
