Pinewood Falls

by Samantha Seestrom

Grace Martin lives a lonely life in her studio apartment. Once a Christmas-loving girl, Grace lost the magic when her mom passed away three years ago. When she pulls her Christmas village set from the back of her closet, Grace is met with more than just fond memories of her favorite holiday.

Noah Stone has been living blissfully in Pinewood Falls for two years, serving as the town’s beloved sheriff. When Grace wakes in the snow with no memory of who she is or where she is, she wanders into a town that seems vaguely familiar. Noah is eager to show her the mysterious village, bustling with Christmas spirit, but soon finds this woman may hold more than his attention. As Grace struggles to uncover the mystery of Pinewood Falls, she’ll find comfort with the town’s sheriff and make unexpected enemies.

Will Grace and Noah be able to escape the town known for its holiday cheer or will they become prisoners to the magic of Christmas?

Such a cute story with the right amount of moments that make you go “awww” and a splash of Christmas magic, and a dash of spice. My goal now is to create a Pinewood Falls cookbook (I mean I know there was only a handful of specific things mentioned, but I still think it would be fun)

Also the ending was everything I wish rom-coms would give!

Basically it was a fun read and I’m so glad I finally got to read it! And I think everyone should pick up this Christmas gem ☺️

Such a heart-warming, unique Christmas read! There’s romance and a little mystery. With each chapter I was coming up with theories as to what the heck was going on in Pinewood Falls! This is a perfect book if you’re a fan of Hallmark Movies and WandaVision.

Okay, so this was an insanely fast and easy read: think Hallmark Christmas movie meets Urban Fantasy.

The writing was a little on the nose, didn't leave a lot of subtext, and there were whole pages of characters telling each other what they just did the prior chapter.

A sweet story I'm happy to have stumbled on in time for Christmas, just a little tighter writing would have enhanced the experience.

Great holiday story

Honestly, I’d love to be stuck in pinewood falls at Christmas. The atmosphere is perfect. I need to go chop down a Christmas tree now. Such a good holiday book with a dark twist so it’s not all snowflakes and cookies. Def recommend!!

I thought it was really boring. Could not relate to any of the characters.

I loved this book! It has all the Christmas vibes my holiday heart desires. I love Sheriff Noah! Total book boyfriend material!
