Book Synopsis
USA Today bestselling author Annie Rains returns to Somerset Lake, North Carolina, with a heartwarming Christmas story about a midwife and her ex-fiance who face high stakes when they must team up to compete in the neighborhood house decorating contest, in this trade paperback that will help get readers in the holiday spirit. Once upon a Christmas, she gave him her heart. This year, he'll have to win it back again . . . When Lucy Hannigan returned to her childhood home in Somerset Lake, one of the first things she did was join the local book club. And thank goodness, because now that Lucy's first Christmas without her mother is bearing down upon her, she can use all the help and support she can get. Especially when she has to take in a tenant and the only person interested is Miles Bruno, her ex-fiance. Lucy's friends keep teasing her about the way Miles is trying to make up for his mistakes but forgiving and forgetting isn't coming easily to Lucy. With bills piling up and her mother's finances in disarray, however, Lucy isn't in any position to say no. As the small town prepares for the holidays and competition heats up in the Merriest Lawn decorating contest, Lucy can't help feeling like a Scrooge. Her mom loved the holidays and won the contest each year, but as much as Lucy would like to carry on the tradition, she isn't sure she has it in her to deck the halls this holiday. Yet when Miles shows up with tons of tinsel, dozens of decorations, and lots and lots of lights, Lucy begins to wonder if maybe the spirit of the season will finally mend her broken heart.Review Quotes

This was a sweet, super hallmark style holiday romance that I enjoyed for an uplifting read this time of year. The romance was light, and the small town setting was perfect for this second chance romance. I thought Lucy and Miles’ romance seemed a little insta-love and would have loved to feel more angst/wanting between them. Check out The Christmas Village for a cozy holiday book, perfect accompanied with hot cocoa and a fire! Thank you @readforeverpub for the gifted copy for an honest review

This heartwarming Christmas story kept me engaged from the start about the love story between Lucy and Miles. He is the deputy sheriff that has issues with his upbringing and they've gotten in the way of his past with Lucy but he finally realizes she is his one true love. Lucy on the other hand is still grieving her mother & isn't sure if she should give Miles another chance after he broke her heart years ago. I enjoyed getting to know the town's characters and the friendships Lucy has with the bookclub members. This Christmas story should be on your reading list because it definitely gets you in the Christmas spirit.
