Synopsis
The very thought of
Christmas is enough to darken Carrie Jones's day. "Jingle Bells" and
eggnog? Not for this girl; not anymore. But running into a handsome old crush
might make this year different…
Home to celebrate with his
parents, Nick Johnson loves the holidays and all that comes with them, from
trips to the tree lot to the very last strand of tinsel. Stunned to bump into
Carrie while on a coffee run, he realizes that his former study buddy has grown
into a drop-dead-gorgeous woman. One with whom he'd like to share all the
joys—and hidden pleasures—of the season. Spending time with Nick
and his warm, close-knit family, Carrie can't help but feel the very beginnings
of that elusive Christmas spirit. She's falling in love with all of
them...until an unexpected visitor arrives. It will take putting her trust in
Nick—and all her newfound happiness—to overcome the ghosts of Christmases past.
My Thoughts
I found A Christmas for
Carrie a fresh kind of take on the Christmas tale. I love a lot of things about
this cute read. I enjoy that it’s a quick fast paced novella but it reads like
a full story near cutting corners. I loved the storyline and the chemistry between
the two characters. I loved how it’s Carrie who is the one who dislikes the
holiday, usually in these books it’s the male who does and the female is
all Christmas crazy.
Carrie has her reasons for
not really being gun-ho about the holidays but I found myself rooting for these two
to get together. Nick just kind of stole my heart, I mean I guy who loves
Christmas as much as I do…YES please!
In the end I can’t say
anything more than just read this cute Christmas romance story. It’s good and won’t
take a lot of time. It's a story of finding yourself and being able to trust and opening yourself to all things again, including love.
