This novella is the perfect little treat for the Beaumont faithful, of which I am proudly one! Heidi McLaughlin gives us some Christmas cheer as the gang is back together again, for a Christmas getaway to Vermont. I loved seeing everyone again, feeling the love that is ever-present for all of our couples and their families.

There is a Christmas surprise involving Harrison and Katelyn that is both heartwarming and beautiful. It added a truly poignant element to this easy read and I even teared up a bit at how lovely this couple continue to be with each other and everyone who comes in contact with them.

There are memories that are a bittersweet together with a few other revelations I didn't see coming. All in all, McLaughlin delivered a great continuation that is sure to lead to a few more adventures within this ever-expanding crew. I loved it!

4 solid stars!

I really liked this one. It was all sorts of warm feelings, nostalgia rolled into one. It really shows how this big, crazy clan is such a close family and they are all 100% there for each other.

I really liked how Katelyn decided that the baby was hers and when Harrison saw him, he was 100% on board, as were the kids and everyone else in the gang.

I felt for Mack, his family is in flames, his teenage hormones are out of control, but he's found a safe place. I like the talks that both Liam and JD had with him.

The Beaumont Family Forever!

Every time I read a Beaumont Family novel I feel like I’m back home. This series will always have a special place in my heart. Seeing the kids grow and the next generation is always a happy place for me.

I have literally loved every book in this series up until the cliffhanger in this one!! It’s great though. The series is like a soap opera in literary form. Well and the fact that people are coming back from the dead in later episodes 😂

As a self professed epilogue junky, this book can't feed my addiction much better! It will put you in a holiday mood, it lets us catch up on the whole Beaumont series gang and it will pull at your heartstrings!

I loved seeing everyone together again over the holidays. I need more! Please give us some more good nuggets in the future so we can see this great family together again.

Perfect read for fans of the series. Be sure to grab it today!

Loved these books! The Beaumont series was sooooo good! Love sweet love, heartbreak, love loss, challenges. There are also a series of the Beaumont Next Generation that are just as good. ♥️. There are short stores between some of the books & at least in the kindle version there are some bonus chapters. Be sure to check out the movie based on the book from this series Fovever My Girl. It’s really good but different in a lot of ways from the book. The movie is where I started & l’m glad I saw that before reading the series!

Incredibly sweet update and set up for future books

Sweet little update on this crazy far flung family. Made family, not all blood family. I love that the band are really close in real life, brothers in arms.
This little novella shows a glimpse of each couple. And it sets up storylines for quite a few more books.
Katelyn and Harrison.
Noah and Peyton.
Elle - what’s going on with Ben?
Nick and Aubrey - what’s going to happen there?
Mack and Betty Paige - are they Liam and Josie all over again?
Why doesn’t the younger generation want children? Or, do they?
JD and Jenna. Her heartbreak.
Baby Ollie.

Amazing

Time and time again Heidi never disappoints. I have loved each and every Beaumont series and often wondered what happens next, especially after reading the Beaumont series: next generation.
A Beaumont family Christmas brings the gang back together for a Christmas family gathering.
Each family is learning to navigate a new chapter or challenge in their life while some are still stuck in wanting more. But one thing remains constant is the closeness and love for one another as a family.
Loved loved loved the book and hope there will be more.

Gahhhh I just love this whole blended family so much!!! Being back with them for Christmas is the perfect ending to a crappy year!! I love getting a glimpse back into their lives and seeing where future books can go. I am excited to Betty Paige and Mack for sure!!! I am really curious as to what is going on with Ben and Elle and I am hoping it leads to another Beaumont book, I will never get enough of them!!

Loved and NEED more!

I need more! I loved getting back in to this family and my only complaint is we need more.
Where’s Ben? Does Josie see more than Noah is divulging? Are thinks okay with Noah and Peyton? Will Oliver’s parents come back for him? And Mack... what will come of him and Betty Paige? Is he going to make it through the tough road that lies ahead for his family?!?
This was a great book and a great looks into these beloved characters 10+ years later

A Beaumont Family Christmas by ha. McLaughlin is a novella in the Beaumont Series. This novella should be best read in order with the other books.
Liam and Josie, Jenna and Jimmy, Katelyn and Harrison agree on a united family christmas in Vermont. Together with kids and spouses they're taking a break from everyday life.
An emotional, beautiful story that gives all the feels and at the same time makes you wanting to read more, new stories about the families, the kids and their partners.

I love visiting with one of my favorite book families again and again! In this book we get the perspective of all the original adults of the series, Liam, Josie, Katelyn, Harrison, JD, Jenna. I love catching up with them and their kids! We see them all come together for Christmas and it’s so heartwarming as they bring more people into their fold to make sure those without families can experience all the love they have to give!

What a great Christmas novella for those of us who are total fans of the Beaumont crew!

This was a beautiful story, but I for one, thoroughly enjoyed reading more about Harrison and Katelyn.

There is a beautiful surprise that I will not ruin for you, but I will tell you you need to grab this book pronto!

This was a cute little holiday story about our most loved characters from Beamount. I almost wished I would’ve went back and read the other stories first. I feel like I forgot who was who!
It was a very nice read, giving us more story of the years after we left them. I really hope the author doesn’t end the Beamount characters with this book, I would love to read more about them. Well done

Unexpected surprises

This book was a joy to read. Told from various pov's, it had me laughing and cry. I think that Katelyn and Harrison had the biggest surprise, followed closely by Nick and Aubrey. Even though it only covered a few days, there was still so much that happened. I hope that Paige, Mack, and Eden get their own books to tell their stories.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’ve been binge reading all these Beaumont books and haven’t reviewed any of them, but I need to stop and do that. This isn’t my normal type of romance book to read, but I’m definitely hooked on these. This book , especially, has been one of my favorites of the series, and I love, love, love it! Well done!

Simply adored this check in with my favorite families of the Beaumont series! Loved how Heidi weaves the points of view, gives glimpses of what’s happening and what may come next for all Westbury, Powell/James, Davis crews. Some things expected, some hoped for and others leave us guessing and hoping Heidi writes it next!

I really liked "A Beaumont Family Christmas" by Heidi McLaughlin. It's always a nice break to catch up with the characters from one of my all-time favorite series. This was a fun shorter read full of little surprises and I'm guessing some teasers for future books. If you are looking for a fix from this series - this is a great book to add to your collection.
Happy Reading...enjoy!

so good

I love the dynamics of this family! The crazy antics of JD the wholesomeness of Harrison and the steady father figure Liam! Their families are so perfect together! Hopefully we get to see JD and Jenna adopt a baby and fingers crossed Harrison and Katelyn get to adopt baby Oliver!

Love it

I really miss these guys and would love to know how the band
is doing. I love their stories and how the kids are. Still so much hanging in the wind. Did Harrison and Kate get the baby? Were there any problems. How were things going for Noah and his wife? Much much more. I don't get the bonus because the app ruins my pad.

A lot is going on in here for all the families through the series. We fast forwarded through time to see their kids are grown, but we also see they all still love each other very much. Coming together for the holidays to reconnect, and surprise. I’m sad there is only one more book in the series, but have enjoyed the ride.
