Summary:

Hearts are lighter and wishes burn a little brighter at Christmas…

Elizabeth Hamilton has been lost. Trapped in a tangle of postpartum depression and grief after the death of her beloved parents, she couldn’t quite see the way back to her husband and their two beautiful kids…until a car accident stole away her memories and changed her life. And when she finally remembered the sound of little Cassie’s laugh, the baby powder smell of Bridger and the feel of her husband’s hand in hers, Elizabeth worried that they’d moved on without her. That she’d missed too much. That perhaps she wasn’t the right mother for her kids or wife for Luke, no matter how much she loved them.

But now, seven years later, Luke finds her in a nearby town and brings Elizabeth back home to the family she loves, just in time for Christmas. And being reunited with Luke and her children is better than anything Elizabeth could have imagined. As they all trim the tree and bake cookies, making new holiday memories, Elizabeth and Luke are drawn ever closer. Can the hurt of the past seven years be healed over the course of one Christmas season and bring the Hamiltons the gift of a new beginning?

My Thoughts:

With this being the 10^th book in the series it may affect my review with not having read the previous books.

This book was heartbreaking, heartwarming but I could not get into the story. I felt like the book was lacking something. With this being a second chance romance, I thought that this one was going to be good because I love books that are about second chance romances. This one just wasn’t for me an I hate to say that. I didn’t initially know anything about the book other then the synopsis. Just from reading that it felt like it could be turned into a Christmas movie. Does it still after I have read the book and didn’t like it? Yes, why? Because I think that more people would be more interested in watching the book than reading it. One of the things that I did like was that they talked about post-partum depression. The way that the author dealt with it was both serious and helpful. This is a serious topic and imo I think it was done well in portraying what its line to have Post-partum depression.

I would recommend this book to people that would like to have a better understanding of depression
