Christmas At First Sight

The Christmas Collection #2

by Trevor McCall

Paige Langford’s life is about to change. The self-made author, and podcaster, accepts a bet from the mayor of a tiny town in New Hampshire to see if she can resist its Christmas charm. She never expected the owner of the local bed and breakfast, Eli Ryder, and his eleven-year-old daughter, Lucy, to be the charms she wouldn’t be able to resist. Unfortunately for Eli, Paige isn’t ready to fall in love with him, or Christmas, at first sight.

A magical story and it makes you Believe ! The ending was perfect.I hope there’s a sequel.

This was a hard book for me to get into. I was bored with all the inner dialog in the beginning of the book and quit reading right before Lucy gave the tour of the B&B. A couple of weeks later I picked it back up and started reading again. I actually liked what I read today. It was a sweet story. I think the beginning chapter(s) could use some editing and streamlining, but otherwise it's a very nice little Christmas story.

The Grinch meets her personal King Christmas, who tears down her inner protective wall almost at first sight.
This short story is perfect for everyone who wants to get into the right Christmas mood. Although somewhat exaggerated (and I think it has to be like this), this love story is funny and full of Christmas miracles with a touch of tragic loss.

This book was a surprise to me. I found it would go to spaces in time and therefore explain things. The story line is good with no dropped links. I enjoyed the characters, they were all pleasant enough. I had a sense that the author was male, but only a bit. Normally, there is a difference between female and male writing styles. Nothing wrong with that, just saying.

I believe!

I believe! What a whirlwind of emotions that were felt on this journey called life! The twists and insights were so heartbreaking and heartwarming as we learn of the struggles our heroine, Paige, has faced throughout her life. And the difference Eli and Lucy make in leading her to believe in Christmas and love.

Paige claims she can’t stand Christmas and states this during one of her podcasts. The mayor of a small New Hampshire town invites Paige to visit, claiming they can change her mind. After all, the town loves all things Christmas, so there has to be something that will sway her. Right? A little slow in the beginning, but a sweet Christmas story. This is a new-to-me author.

Great book!

I loved how Trevor brought each of the characters to life. It was interesting to see how he showed that what happens to us as a small child can influence how we are as adults and how to get past the bad times.

Interesting story

This story had a blurry beginning, but I stuck with it and enjoyed the read. Lots of great literary quotes. Really showed the depth of a writer's heart. There were some typos in the text, which always interrupts the flow of words.

No more walls

Beautifully written. This book was not romantic fluff but an exploration of the soul. Belief in others is necessary for love.

Christmas

Slow start but was really enjoyable as
I got further into it. I hope other people enjoy it as much as I did . I really love reading.

[Angel Graham · Rating 2 out of 5]

I ended up skimming to read the end. It's written in very bad third person view. It's essentially all telling, and no showing.

The ending doesn't fit with the rest of the book.

The style of this didn't click with me
