This review was first posted on Music, Books and TeaI wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when I went into Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor. I haven’t really read a lot of straight-up romance, only Nicholas Sparks books, which I enjoy, but I’m sure I’ve been missing out on something more. I was pleasa...

I am shocked. I didn't believe it was possible for me to EVER dislike a Kleypas book. How could this have happened?Before I start this review, I must first go back in time a few days...DATE : December 23TIME : Lazy afternoon with the kids out of the houseACTIVITY : My viewing of a taped movie - Chri...

This book is short, short, short and utterly lovely. Longer than a novella but still only 200 pages. It does work, because it's a holiday story and things get to move fast then.Mark is, well, quiet, I liked him. He takes good care of his niece. Sure he has some silly ideas, but he is good. Maggie ,...

I finally was able to get a hold of this book, which is a part of the most recent series by one of my all time favorite authors. When I first picked this up I had my doubts over whether or not I would like it, considering how short it is and all....however I was delightfully surprised by how enjoyab...

Such a sweet book, like balm for the soul. Exactly what I needed after the tragic week we've been having in the U.S. It was nice to escape to a wold where kids are cherished and their Christmas wishes can come true.

Sweet and very nice. Not much for plot twists. It's just sweet and endearing. Alarmingly short. Yep. Very different to Kleypas' usual writing pattern.

All fluff, no substance but that's okay since it was what I was going for mood-wise. I believe I prefer this author's historical/regency romances to her contemporaries.

Since I received the second book in the series, Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas through goodreads giveaway, I felt compelled to read the first one, Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor. To quote Publishers Weekly - “Sweet, romantic, and genuine…a refreshing holiday treat.” This is the story of a young ...

I LOVED it! This was such a warm holiday story and the romance was lovely. The dynamic between Maggie and Mark was wonderful. The dialogue in this book is just excellent. I should note that I am not generally a fan of children in the books I read. I tend to steer clear of them as a rule. Holly, Mark...

I have to agree with another review saying that things were too rushed. Even at the beginning, Holly goes from being completely mute to suddenly talking when a complete stranger gives her a conch shell and tells her its magic. It's just handwaved.And because a lot wasn't fleshed out, the characters ...
