Kame's Review:
Whitney has very few people in her life
that is why when her best friend asks her to be her maid of honor she
packs a bag and leaves her ranch; her safe haven. She desperately
wants her past to stay in the past and to be able to enjoy this time.
Unfortunately when you are a former child star who is famous for some
not so wonderful publicity the chances of quietly being in your best
friend’s wedding are slim. Matthew is the brother who always felt
he had to earn his way into the Beaumont family, and he did it by
keeping the family image in good standing. Whitney coming to the
ranch is a dream come true and a nightmare at the same time.
I had strong protective feelings for
Whitney from the moment I met her on the page. I like how she changed
her life into something she was comfortable living each day. She was
a very caring person, you could see that in how she talked about her
animals and dealt with the horrid fans. She was written with lots of
emotion because I ached for her to find love. Matthew was a character
that intrigued me from the first book in the series. However in this
book he rather grated on my nerves the first few chapters. He is very
concerned with his place in the family and I had doubts that he and
Whitney would be a good fit. You could feel their attraction leaping
off the page.
The plot was easy to follow as it was
the days leading up to the wedding. I will say I got kind of lost on
how many days before the wedding Whitney came to the ranch, it seemed
like she came weeks before instead of just days. The conflict that
challenged Whitney and Matthew should have been one Matthew saw
coming (my goodness Whitney did!) and prepared a plan to avoid it.
This is a holiday book, my goodness
Christmas is even in the title, but Christmas takes a back seat. This
is a wonderful heartwarming story, but if you want a book that
flaunts Christmas and has many scenes of wonderful Christmas memories
to get you in the Christmas spirit – go find a different book after
you read this one.
This is not my
first Sarah M. Anderson book, I have read many, and it won’t be my
last. The conclusion of this book while satisfying has created
questions in my mind as to what is in Whitney and Matthew’s future.
I am hoping there is another Beaumont family book in my future so I
can check in on them.
4 STARS!
