From the moment he strode through the iron gate and into the offices of Two Love Lane on a crisp December day, it was obvious that Deacon Banks was something different. He wasn’t a Charleston
native, not with that adorable Yankee accent. And unlike the usual client at the elegant matchmaking agency, he had no interest in finding a woman to marry—just a few no-strings dates while he was in town.
Macy Frost takes her professional services very seriously—how could she not, when she’s rumored
to be a direct descendant of Cupid? Tech entrepreneur Deacon says he’s just trying to make his
social-climbing aunt happy by being seen out and about with a few prominent beauties, but Macy
insists she can make her client fall in love…for real. And Deacon can’t help but think she might be
right. As charming as the palmetto trees and magnificent harbor may be, it’s the beautiful, breath-
of-fresh- air Macy who’s become Deacon’s favorite part of the scenery. But can the hopelessly
romantic Southern belle stop trying to fix him up and just let Cupid do his work on her own heart?
Overall I really enjoyed this book. I feel like I've read a book with a similar story line but this book had so much going for it with an good set of characters with interesting backgrounds. I loved that there was the dual point of view between Macy and Decan. I honestly loved watching how everything played out in the book. Its hard to explain what I loved about this book without spoiling it! So heres the thing if you are looking for a good holiday book with unique set of characters with a bit of drama thrown in. This really was a enjoyable book.

In the last year, George's life has drastically changed. The formerly homeless veteran now has a job
he likes, a family in the residents of Darling, VT, and for the first time in years, a home. But while his
present is good, he's still haunted by the past, a past that appears shortly before Christmas when
the older sister of his brother-in- arms hunts him down and finds him in Darling, working at the
Ladybug Garden Center.
Amy’s looking for closure for her family after her brother' s death in the Middle East, but the serious
man she finds working in Vermont doesn’t resemble the soldier she remembers from years before.
This man is hardened and yet somehow fragile, too, and in her desire to find out what really
happened to her brother, she learns more about George than she ever expected.
With a little Christmas magic and the whole town supporting them, can these two bruised hearts
make a future together?
This is a story about loss and learning to get back on their feet and learning to love. I loved seeing the connection between the two. It was obvious things were going to be tough for both of them with the shared grief and love that they one shared. I loved seeing how they were able to help and heal one another. This was such a uplifting book and I really enjoyed it. If you are looking for a quick holiday read, that also has a clean romance then I recommend you lovely readers to check this book out.

Will has believed in love at first sight since the day he first laid eyes on Mina Harper five years ago.
There was only one problem: She was happily married. Then, when Mina’s husband was killed by a
drunk driver, Will figured she’d want nothing to do with a guy who owns a whiskey distillery. So
he’s kept his feelings locked away, knowing that not even a Christmas miracle would be enough to
melt Mina’s heart. . .
Mina believes her days of true love are behind her. Since losing her husband she’s kept to herself,
content to do her own painting and stay out of the limelight that comes with her famous family. But
when, after a freak accident, Will comes to her rescue, Mina can’t quite get him out of her mind. As
curiosity turns into a fling during Cloud Bay’s first Christmas Festival, she finds it harder to
convince herself that her feelings for Will are just mistletoe-inspired. Could Mina be ready to lay the
past to rest and finally admit that what she really wants for Christmas—and forever—is Will?
I like this book I only issue was pacing was a bit slow for me but other then that this book was pretty enjoyable. If you got a day to relax and want a bit a holiday feeling that really isn't shoved down your throat then this book is it for you. It has its bit of holidayish things going on but isn't overpowering. Sometimes I love a good holiday book but some of them can get down right cheesey with how much holiday things are going on and this book was pretty decent about it. I enjoyed seeing that romance between Will and Mina. It drove me nuts when ever I see her pulling away from that obvious attraction. I loved seeing drama unfold that kept things interesting. Overall this was a pretty good book I really enjoyed it.
Emma Douglas would love to live in a world where professional napping was a thing. But until then, she thinks writing books is a pretty awesome alternative. When not writing about imaginary people, she can be found reading, doing something crafty, binge-watching TV, playing her latest song crush on repeat, or singing badly in her car. She lives in Melbourne, Australia in a tiny house stuffed full of books, too many craft supplies and two cats who take up more space than you would expect.

Miss Merry Parks makes a deathbed promise to a schoolfriend that her infant daughter will be taken to her absent father. There’s only one problem—to find the baby’s father, she’ll have to consult his cousin, Viscount Wrotham, the man she jilted five years ago. The man she couldn’t forget.

Historical romances are not my thing, if I had knew that before going into this book I probably wouldn't have picked it up. Being that I had already started I figured what the heck and continued through this book. I surprisingly found this book more enjoyable then I thought I would. I loved a bit of drama and that there was a few mishaps to keep things interesting. I loved seeing that passion between Merry and Alex. Overall this was a pretty good book and I found it enjoyable, a quick and easy holiday read.

I was going to write more in that summery but wasn't sure how to do so without spoiling the book so I'll leave it at that. You know what I really enjoyed this book. There was never a moment where I felt like it was dragged or something felt unnecessary to progress the story. This was plain and simple a good clean holiday romance. I liked that it as a subtle romance where things were kinda slow and sweet. I liked seeing how Sydney and Mac where. There was enough of everything to make this book really enjoyable, it was sweet and heartwarming and recommend you lovely readers to check it out.
