The Magic Man
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've never read this author before and I certainly wasn't disappointed with her writing and definitely will be reading more of her books.

A beautiful story about love, loss, family and friends... follow Bee on her adventure of fostering, family and making new friends.

This was like a cup of hot chocolate for me from page one, it just grabs you into a big hug.

After losing her husband Bee finds it hard to celebrate Christmas and hasn't put a tree up in ten years but this year things have changed and Bee finds herself hosting a big Christmas for her family, extended family and friends.

With alot going on and missing her son Tucker who is away with the Navy, she finds out that life can be fun.

Will Tucker make Christmas and will Noel stay forever or was he just passing through to help mend broken hearts?

A wonderful story

I so very much enjoyed this emotional story for the holiday season. A spark of magic kicks off when a guest comes to stay at the inn of a grieving widow that still can't celebrate the holiday season due to the sudden death of her husband years before. A house fire brings a family in need to the inn and her grown children are finely all together at last. The house is bursting with emotions but most of the heart of the inn keeper. I highly recommend you enjoy the magic. As always happy reading

Just too long without much climax

I finished it by the hardest. Just way too long, like reading someone's journal, and too descriptive on EVERYTHING. Also, too many different storielines and it kind of exhausted me.

Heart warming

This was the perfect Christmas read. Full of lovely characters, a great plot, and lots of Christmas twists and turns, I recommend it highly!
I'll be following this author.

Good read!

I read a few books a week but when the book I’ve completed is exceptional then a written review will be made. Entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable!!

This book made me smile. Places where this mama's heart had years. Would make an excellent Christmas movie. Loved it!

Extremely BORING! I kept thinking something was going to happen but it never did! Very tedious...
