The weather forecasters said the snowstorm would miss the eastern seaboard. They were wrong. When Ally Henderson’s flight from Southern California to New York City for Christmas gets diverted to the tiny Midwestern town of Bethlehem, she’s desperate to get back in the air and back to the Big Apple. But with all the airports closed, she’s forced to rely on Midwestern hospitality to wait out the storm. And she soon learns that she has a storm of her own to weather. One that could shatter her life.

Living with a kind stranger is one way to spend a snowed-in Christmas, but when she meets the local diner owner, Jake, sparks fly. Only, Ally’s a big-city girl with big-city dreams, and Jake will always be a Bethlehem boy

Ally is on her way to NYC to have the wedding of her dreams when a snowstorm derails her plans and becomes the start to lot of revealed bad news. While the plane is grounded in a small town Bethlehem the passengers  have to wait for the news to get back on track they will stay with host families. She didn't expect to like the town, make new friends and maybe even fall in love in this small town but the storm will pass and she will eventually have to go back to where she came from.

You know what this reminds me of every cheesy hallmark movie out there but I can't help but love this book all the more. I loved getting to know the characters and seeing the type of things this small town had to offer. I loved that connection between Ally and Jake and that it was a clean sort of romance. I loved the connections being made between people as well with making news friends and this was just a sweet book to read. If your a fan of cheesy christmas hallmark movies but in book form where its not just that one hour and a half fix, and really gets into the story and characters then you'll want to pick this book up.
