Firstly, congratulations Karly for putting me in the YuleTide mood, despite it being March! Absolutely adored the setting of Christmas Creek, especially when it turned into a typical Christmas village! How I wish a place actually existed here in Australia!
This book is just so lovely and joyful! As teenagers, December Doyle and Seth Hunter were in love. However, it wasn't accepted by society. Seth was the local lad with a bad reputation, and December was the local sweetheart, well protected by her family. Our two lovebirds had to sneak around, keeping their relationship a secret, until poor Seth was wrongly accused of arson. Heartbreakingly, Seth told December to give up on him when he was sent to jail. This decision drove December into the arms of Seth's nemisis, Dan McPherson (not the actor, despite what you may think). If this doesn't crush you, the moment where Seth turned up at the church on December's wedding day will. Basically, poor Seth was told that he missed out on his chance, and he drove out of town and December's life.
Twelve years later, December's marriage is over and she's back in Christmas Creek. Seth is back as well, and he's shaken up the entire town. This community hasn't changed their views of the reformed bad boy, and yet again, December is the only one who believes in him.
Still, Seth is out to prove that he has changed. Despite reigniting old adversies, he is still madly in love with December. But will December risk it all to get her happy ending with the only man she's ever loved?
My favourite character has to be December's Gran! The eighty three year old is sprightly, snarky, over protective and unpredictable. Her finest moment is getting arrested... By her own grandson. Love, love, LOVE Gran to bits!
A laugh out loud moment: December sticking it to a former school mate in the supermarket, asking for a price check for hemmoriod cream 😆 Classic.
Loved every moment of this book!
