Unexpected Christmas Joy

GIVEAWAY


MEYER, GABRIELLE
UNEXPECTED CHRISTMAS JOY

Her surprise inheritance could make them a family.

It's a plot twist actress Kate LeClair never anticipated: becoming guardian to toddler triplets. But with guidance from experienced single dad Jacob Dawson, she and the boys can move on by Christmas. Pastor Jacob can't ask Kate to swap stage for small-town Minnesota -- even if he's falling for her. But these tiny matchmakers might prove she's found the only role she really wants.

My Review:

A holiday love story brimming with joy and hope.

Sniffle. This one has all the feels. I was laughing and fuming and swooning and eye-rolling and angsting. And completely falling under Jacob's spell. It's not often that a pastor gets to play the hero so that aspect brought an interesting angle to the story. His congregation plays a pivotal role -- for better or for worse! -- in the story and they sent me into conniptions from time to time. Gah! :-) 

And poor Kate! I felt the beginnings of an anxiety attack during the first few chapters as she suddenly finds herself responsible for triplet toddlers. Those scenes are so well written that I immediately felt a kinship with her...and just as overwhelmed and bewildered. 

What a perfect way for Jacob and Kate to bond as he steps in to help her transition into instant motherhood. And his adorable little girl has a definite Mary Poppins flare when it comes to triplet wrangling! Absolutely loved their angst-riddled and laughter-infused journey towards a happily ever after.

    1. I became a Gabrielle Meyer fan reading her historical so glad she transitioned into writing contemporary romance when LIH closed. Good luck, Kay!
