About this ebook

The best Christmas present? The unexpected romance that brings two former classmates together for a lesson in holiday magic. . .

With its festive Snowed Inn and year-round Christmas store, the pretty town of Tall Pine knows how to do the holidays right. But this year, Liv Tomblyn’s homecoming trip may be bittersweet. Liv’s grandmother died soon after Thanksgiving, leaving a lifetime of belongings to sort through. Soon Liv is surrounded by memories, including a retro silver Christmas tree. And there’s Liv’s old friend Scott Leroux—the one-time class clown who’s become the town’s go-to handyman.

Scott enjoyed helping Liv’s Nammy with little fix-it jobs in recent years, but now he’s wondering if the crafty grandma had a much larger project in mind. Everything—from Nammy’s mysteriously malfunctioning heater to that silver tree—seems to be conspiring to throw Liv and Scott together. Not that Scott objects. For though Liv insists she’ll leave Tall Pine when the holidays are over, he’s hoping their holiday kisses might thaw her resolve and make this Christmas truly unforgettable. . .

Ratings and reviews

A wonderful heartwarming story of going home, remembering good times, and finding new love all wrapped up in the magic of the holiday season. Liv Tomblyn hasn't been back to Tall Pines in four years. She always thought there would be time but now her beloved Nammy is gone and she's returning for her service and to help her mother and sister handle things. A lot about Tall Pines is just as she remembered them but some things have definitely changed. One of those changes is standing in front of her. Scotty Leroux, once the class clown has definitely changed and now appears to be a town favorite. Liv soon realizes she's missed a lot by not coming back but her life is in Dallas now. Right?? Or maybe if she opens her mind and heart to it, she might find all she needs right here at home. Definitely a must read for the holidays. I highly recommend it.
