REVIEW:

The Christmas Ring by Karen Kingsbury was my first Christmas book of the year! I have to admit that I am a softie for any Christmas story and if it contains a love story that is even better! I even love Christmas movies. This book gives us a double whammy because it has been made into a movie. How fun is that?

This story is about an old family heirloom ring that was lost and may never be found again. Vanessa is a military widow and her daughter has just started college. After she moves her daughter in the dorm and is on her way home again, she makes a detour to get gas. She sees an interesting antique store and decides to take a look and see if by chance she can find her ring. She meets Ben and the rest is history. I can’t tell you anymore about the ring. The search is a huge part of the story.

I can tell you that if you like Karen Kingsbury, you will most likely fall in love with her latest novel. I haven’t read too much of her work but I found the story and all that happens intriguing. I love the search. I love antique stores and wonder about the backstory of the items I see there. 

I truly enjoyed The Christmas Ring by Karen Kingsbury and if you are like me and like anything Christmas, then this book is for you. It is going to deserve a spot on your nightstand for the upcoming holidays! Until next time…Happy Reading!

SYNOPSIS:

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

While searching for her family’s long-lost heirloom ring, military widow Vanessa Mayfield meets handsome antique dealer Ben Miller. The two are drawn to each other and forge a friendship that soon becomes a deep and breathtaking romance. But neither are sure that what they’ve found can last.

As Vanessa organizes her annual Columbus Cares Christmas Military Dance, she looks forward to her daughter’s return from college. But Vanessa hasn’t told Sadie about Ben. After all, Vanessa hadn’t anticipated finding love again after losing her husband. And now she wrestles with feelings that are becoming hard to ignore.

Just as Ben is about to declare his love for Vanessa, he learns more about her missing Christmas ring: her great grandfather found it in France on D-Day, and engraved on the band is a single meaningful word. The details confirm a terrible truth, one that Ben cannot ignore.

Certain he now knows where Vanessa’s ring is, Ben leaves town in a frantic rush. But can he stop a certain sale, or will Vanessa’s ring be lost forever? Days before Christmas, when all seems hopeless, Ben and Vanessa learn an important eternal truth: Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
