This is the 2nd book in the Snow Valley series, although each book is a stand-alone novella that can probably be read in one setting. It is also part of the Keepsake Christmas anthology. Hugh comes back to Snow Valley because his Aunt Betty has died and he is her only heir. Her will stipulates that he has to remain in Snow Valley and keep her book shop open for a month. Hugh is hesitant, but feels he owes it to his aunt. He meets a young girl, Harper, at a coffee shop where she works and eventually meets her mother, Allison, when she comes to spend the Christmas holidays with her daughter. Read the book to see how it all ties together. It’s a great feel-good story!

Oh, how I adored this sweet little holiday read. It was like stepping into a Hallmark movie and my heart was beyond warmed. It has a very magical feel to it and you get that meant-to-be tingly sensation all over.

I am a sucker for second-chance romance and a big believer that timing matters. As circumstances reunite our two main characters and make it tempting to go down the “what if” road, the maturity of these characters takes the wheel and redirects them into “what now” territory.

I just love it! Perfect book for drinking a cup of cocoa and kicking off the holiday reads!

NOTE: I received a copy of this book from the author. This is my honest review.

Do you have an author that you read anything by them and you don't even have to read the blurb on the book? I have several and Tammy L Grace is one of them! I love her writing. She always pulls me in and keeps my interest until the very end. As soon as I finish one book I'm waiting for the next new book.

One Unforgettable Christmas is her newest release and boy, oh boy, is it a good one! It takes place in a small town that is all in on Christmas traditions. She paints such a pretty picture and I want to live right in the heart of Snow Valley. There is a coffee shop, a diner and best of all a cute little Bookshop. What more do you need? 

I particularly like the characters in this story. They're so nice and they are all helpful and caring. Of course, just like any small town, they all know your business. That's just the way it is. It's not because they're nosey, it is just they've known you your whole life. This book gives you all the Christmas feels and then some. 

One Unforgettable Christmas is book two in the Hometown Christmas Series. Christmas in Snow Valley is book one. I highly recommend this series. If you haven't read book one, pick up both of them. They are quick reads and you'll be happy you did. 

Happy Reading!

One Unforgettable Christmas by Tammy L. Grace. Beautifully written second chance Christmas romance. An Unexpected second chance romance that caught me completely off guard as the story unfolds. The charm of a small mountain town works its magic to bring together and blend the lives of three people destined to love each other forever. Their busy lives are transformed by the peace and harmony of Snow Valley. The slower pace and familiar surroundings bring tranquility to a stressed-out ER doctor, a workaholic public relations executive and a young woman trying to figure out her future. After spending the Christmas holiday in this magical town, they must decide if they should go back to their busy lives or stay and blend their lives together. So incredibly crafted you will not be disappointed.
Thank you to Tammy L. Grace for this advanced review copy. In return, I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review. All opinions and thoughts are my own. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am freely sharing my opinion.

One Unforgettable Christmas, by Tammy L. Grace, is the second book in the Snow Valley series, which I wasn’t aware of when I began reading. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I think it would have been even better if I had read the first book in the series prior this one.

One Unforgettable Christmas is a novella about a man who comes back to Snow Valley upon his aunt’s death, and finds that the will states he must run her small town bookshop, which is deeply involved in the community, for a month before making any decisions or changes. Soon after arriving, he meets Harper, who assists and befriends him, and eventually introduces him to her mother, who comes to visit for the holidays. Not so surprisingly, a romance ensues and secrets, which were meant to stay buried, are revealed, causing their own commotion, but eventual healing and HEA.

An Unforgettable Christmas is a rather simplistic, predictable, but sweet, festive story. I am not a fan of the main trope that was used, but still found it to be a quick, easy, seasonally descriptive story that is perfect for the holidays.

One Unforgettable Christmas is a great choice to ease romance readers into the holiday season.
Long kept secrets are revealed and hurts are healed as those who are emotionally injured by those secrets offer forgiveness.

Even in the confines of a novella, I felt as if I got to know the primary characters. As a reader I got to know them well enough to understand their feelings and reactions to specific situations. If you love animals, then you will also enjoy the presence of a dog in the story.

This is the second book in a series that that Tammy L. Grace has set in Snow Valley. However, it is easily read as a standalone. I had not read the first one and did not feel as if I missed anything. Of course, I enjoyed this story enough that I want to go back and read first one.

If you are looking for a feel-good story set at Christmastime, then I encourage you to read One Unforgettable Christmas.

One Unforgettable Christmas

As always Tammy L. Grace delivers a warm cozy romance. Christmas is a magical time of year for families and friends coming together to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and all the beautiful blessing we are given and thankful for. This is a heartwarming story of family, the loss of loved ones, and a second chances to be a family. You will love this uplifting Christmas romance. Happy reading.

One Unforgettable Christmas

I enjoyed this short story about returning home and finding love. A mother visits her daughter for Christmas and meets her former boyfriend. She needs to share a secret with him and her daughter.

[Amanda · Rating 3 out of 5]

One Unforgettable Christmas is a sweet Christmas story with small town Hallmark vibes. I loved the message of second chances, cherishing the moment and the family we may not realize we need, but indeed do need.

Thank you to Tammy for an ebook copy in exchange for my honest review.
