Her Christmas Homecoming

by Lindsay Harrel

Will a reunion between them
Be the gift they need this holiday?

Planning a small-town Christmas festival with her ex-boyfriend is not what corporate executive Georgia Carrington expects when she returns home to care for her grandmother. After all, there’s a promotion waiting in New York City, and Mayor Nate Griggs only reminds her of her broken heart. Now a widowed father, Nate is hesitant to depend on the woman who left him behind thirteen years ago, but he needs her help to secure the future of the town’s youth center. Soon they’re bringing joy to the community—and to each other. But as the holiday deadline grows closer, will they choose a future together?

From Love Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.

Good book and characters.

[Elaine Applebury]

Lindsay Harrel is a new author to me, but I definitely plan to read more of her books! Ms. Harrel writes a sweet, heartwarming, second chance romance.
New York executive, Georgia Carrington, returns to Pineberry, Arizona to help the grandmother that raised her.
Now it is 13 years later. Nate Griggs, the old boyfriend, is a widower with a young daughter, Cassie. He needs help to get a youth center, a promise to his late wife, up and running.
Both think the other one deserted them. Can one little girl bring them together? Can Lindsay realize that she is more than “that drug addict’s daughter?”

I loved this story, and am eagerly awaiting the next two in the series.

A story of 2nd chances, both main characters are in need of healing and don’t even realize it because everything was the other person's fault. But God won’t leave it alone, and neither will Georgia’s grandmother. She’s incredible and really added to the story. And Cassie. What an adorable little girl who wants a mother, but doesn’t want to forget her own mother.

If you enjoy a clean romance, set at Christmas, you must read Her Christmas Homecoming. It’s got all the feels. And it has baby goats!

Lindsay Harrel is a new author for me, but I will definitely be looking forward to more books from her. I loved this story she created so much! It's everything I want in a faith-based Christmas romance story. It's a Hallmark movie in written form. I'm really hoping it becomes a series because so many of the background characters have stories I want to know the endings too!

This is the first time that I read from this author.

A very cute Christmas book and I like how the town was named.

The characters were easy to lead you to cheering for one or the other.

It also had many heartfelt moments and laughter.

Lovely little small-town story with plenty of Christmas, Hallmarky atmosphere. Sure, it might be a little formulaic, but it brought me a lovely hour in the reading of it and I’m quite content with it. I hope there are more books featuring Taylor and Caroline!

[Becca]

This is the first book I've read from this author. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and I hope it's a series for the three female friends. Good Christmas romance!
