REVIEW:

Under A Christmas Star by Tammy L. Grace is the third book in the Hometown Christmas series. It is my second Christmas book of the year and my favorite one so far!  There are a few reasons for that, so let me tell you why.

First of all, I am a huge fan of anything by Ms. Grace. She always makes me yearn for my hometown. She writes mostly about small towns and the wonderful people that inhabit them. Life is different in a small town. More like things were when I was growing up. We lived in a small town during my high school years and I loved the freedoms that I was able to have. You behave differently in a town where everyone knows your name, your parents, and all your business.

Second, if you’ve read the first two books, you have already met some of the characters in this book. Harper is the main character in this book and I was hoping she would get her own story told. She is a new elementary school teacher at the local school and lives in her grandmother’s old home. 

Third, she always includes dogs in her books who are always faithful companions. I have a couple myself and know how much comfort they can be if you are down or not feeling well. They are the best!

Fourth, Tammy offers us a wide variety of books to read. She has a few different series out including a detective series that is really good. She has also started a new thriller series that promises to be awesome.

If you have not read anything by Tammy L. Grace yet, I strongly encourage you to give her a try. Whenever a new book by her comes out, I’m ready to get a drink and snuggle into my recliner for a good read. Her books always bring me a feeling of well being and peace when I am done reading. Check out her work and pick something for the tbr pile on your nightstand. You won’t be sorry. Until next time…Happy Reading!

Return to Snow Valley this Christmas where amid the snow and festive lights, hope shines brightest.

Jake Bennett fled Snow Valley after graduation, thriving in Seattle’s fast-paced journalism world. A quick holiday visit to his snowy mountain hometown turns into a heartfelt journey of healing and unexpected surprises. Stranded by his father Curt’s stroke, Jake wrestles with the grief of recent losses, while his six-year-old daughter, Ruby, masks her heartache with tearful outbursts.

As Snow Valley’s twinkling lights and festive traditions wrap them in holiday magic, Ruby blossoms and Jake’s guarded heart softens.
