Reggie still feels a measure of pain from when she and Toby broke up but the two of them are working together on a holiday project while she is in town. Meanwhile, it soon becomes clear as to why Micah might find drawing close to Dena becoming a problem.

The language and grammar of the novel seemed professional. But some of the characters (Lizzie & Mike) were underdeveloped. Others were only shown in a one-dimensional light. The big question of whom Gaby is going to marry is teased throughout the book, but not really developed. In the end, her choice seemed random.The Christmas Wedding is centered around Gaby and her four grown children - Claire, Liz, Emily and Seth. In the first half of the book, there are several chapters dedicated to each child. I thought that this was an interesting way for the reader to learn about Gaby's kids without being told the information. The book worked best for me when it centered around Gaby's kids and their lives. A traditional Christmas cake adorned with holly and ivy, or a more modern take on the classic fruit cake.

The premise of the story is so stupid. The bride of this Christmas Wedding is Gaby. She's in her fifties and lost her husband four years ago. She has decided it's time to be loved again and how serendipitous! Three, good looking, eligible bachelors of suitable age have asked her to marry them at the same time! So she has decided to use the occasion to manipulate her four children and their families. To find out who Gaby will marry, they must all show up to the wedding – on Christmas day. Which, they haven't been together since her husband died, okay. The problem is, she won't tell the three men who proposed to her who she has chosen until their wedding day. So this supposedly caring, loving person has decided that for her to have something "for her" she has to deal heartbreak and humiliation to two men she claims to love as friends and force them to watch her marry the third in front of a bunch of other people. Nope, not a selfish bitch at all. She's so hip and with it that she makes video messages for her kids…and then sends them Fed Ex to the kids instead of putting them up on YouTube or something. (This was published October of last year.) Gaby is the kind of egotistical woman who makes her grandchildren call her by her first name because grandma "makes her skin itch." Cue my epic eye roll. She's supposed to be such a caring, giving person who has spent her life doing for others and even feeds the homeless in her barn every day (though she actually says she feels like they should pay something for the meal and collects whatever money they can give). Really she completely reminds me of but she has none of Blanche's wit, charm, and self-awareness. Micah, incapaz de escribir desde que perdió a su esposa, encuentra inspiración en la determinación de Dena por ser mamá.Inesperadamente, Toby, su primer amor, también está de regreso, y la chispa entre ellos brilla tan intensamente como siempre. En el espíritu de la temporada, ¿dejarán atrás las heridas del pasado y recibirán juntos el Año Nuevo? Ten years after her teenage daughter went missing, a mother begins a new relationship only to discover she can't truly move on until she answers lingering questions about the past.

It’s nice to get out of town any time of year. With the cold wind and snow in the forecast, a sandy beach is exponentially more attractive. This is the perfect time of year for honeymooners to soak up the sun. She planned to stay awake so she could remember every moment. She would need the details for when she was eighty and reliving the past. In his pursuit of Daisy, however fruitless, Tattersall invites them all to dine at Creek Manor. Aunt Eleanora was thrilled at the prospect and soon began hinting at what a wonderful catch the squire was. Daisy couldn't be more repulsed. But the squire has charmed her aunt and she wouldn't hear a bad word about him, believing Daisy to be unfair in her assessment of the man. Daisy soon realises to truly escape the repulsive squire, she must return to London and find work there. A Christmas wedding in the United Kingdom can be a magical and beautiful event.

The one trope I probably hate the most is “I can’t love you (or you can’t love me) for *stupid illogical reason*. And this book has it happening in both of the sister’s burgeoning relationships and is still being painfully dragged out 70% into the book, so I have to stop here. I was hoping for a cute Christmas story to put me in a holiday mood but instead I just want to shake some reason into fictional characters, so that’s a fail.
