Christmas / historical novella
Two
years ago this Christmas, Sadie Bennett's beloved husband was killed in a
tragic accident at the local sawmill. What was once her favorite time of year
now haunts her, with its cheerful trappings a cruel reminder of the love she lost.
The
young widow would like nothing more than to hibernate until the festivities are
over. When she finds herself assigned to the committee tasked with picking a
Christmas tree for the town square
of Little Hickman Creek
Reed
Harris owns the local livery, and while he's friendly enough, good-looking,
too, Sadie isn't ready to invest in another relationship. In fact, she may
never be ready, unless a Christmas miracle manages to thaw her frozen heart.
CHRISTMAS
COMES TO LITTLE HICKMAN CREEK is a novella to finish out Ms. MacLaren’s popular
Little Hickman Creek series. I
enjoyed getting to know Sadie and Reed. Reed is completely devoted to Sadie,
pursing her despite her obvious disinterest.
I
also liked how Sadie, despite being still in deep grief over losing her husband,
still participates in the community celebrations. I did worry a bit over Reed
pursing her while she was still grieving, but it is fiction and a novella…
Fans
of Ms. MacLaren’s Little Hickman Creek series
will be thrilled to have this latest installment to the series and catch up
with previous characters. CHRISTMAS
COMES TO LITTLE HICKMAN CREEK has a nice holiday feel, and one could almost
feel the crisp air, and see the inch of snow covering the ground as the story
begins. So grab a cup of hot cocoa and a few cookies and settle in for an
enjoyable holiday read. 144 pages. $9.39 Kindle. $10.64 paperback.
***I
loved the snowflakes on each page and the pine tree artwork separating each
chapter in this book.
