There’s no place like home for the holidays…

As a girl, single mom Lauren Maxwell hated Magnolia, South Carolina. And she thought she’d left her hometown in the rearview mirror years ago, but a message from her beloved baby brother, Brody, changes all that. He’s getting married on Christmas Eve. So a holiday at Camp Blossom, the rustic sleepaway camp that had been a haven during her growing-up years, it is. Lauren won’t even have to see her dictatorial father. Or her ex-husband, Ben…

When Ben greets her at the surprisingly decrepit cabin, he’s just as stubborn—and as irresistible—as ever. And when she discovers he’s working with her estranged father to buy the campgrounds and rebuild them as luxury housing, Lauren is furious. She won’t let the man who broke her heart win. So she and her daughter stay in town to block the sale.

But the magic of the Christmas season brings back memories Lauren tried so hard to forget: his crooked smile, their daughter’s laughter at the breakfast table, the feel of her hand in his. As the spark between them rekindles, Lauren realizes that second chances are real. And they’re worth fighting for.

Bonus Novella!

A Carolina Song

Country Western singer Walker Calloway thought he was making romantic progress with shy and lovely schoolteacher Meghan Jacobs. After all, he’d written her a love song! But she thought it was for his ex. Now it’s up to him to prove that his heart already belongs to Meghan…for keeps…

The Christmas Cabin

“But it does suck,” Hannah complained. “If you’re trying to annoy me, it won’t work,” Lauren answered, leaning forward to gaze through the rainsplattered front windshield. It wasn’t as if she could see very far in the darkness of the early December evening. Her headlights managed to illuminate enough of the gravel driveway that led into Camp Blossom, situated on an inlet of the North Carolina coast, that she wasn’t worried about driving into a ditch. At least not totally worried.

My Thoughts 

What do a small town. named Magnolia, unchecked sibling rivalry, a teenager with a DUI, a second chance romance, a summer camp named Blossom, and Christmas have in common.
Well nothing... actually!
The fact that they are part of the plot of the newest offering in the Carolina Girls series not withstanding.
That's right.

Book #6 is hot off the presses.
Loaded with more family drama than an all day Dr. Phil marathon.
A second chance romance plot twist so heartfelt that Hallmark should be taking notes.
All tied in the perfect bow of love and forgiveness that only stories set in the Christmas season can provide.

Yes...its true.
The Christmas Cabin is all that and a bag of Christmas cookies.
That is once the oldest two siblings decide to grow up.
The younger brother stops playing the martyr.
Everyone learns to ignore the overbearing ass of a father.
And the teenager with the DUI proves on more than one occasion that she is the most emotionally intelligent person in the room.

This is a quick, if not light read that is sure to touch your heart in the way that dogs that are so ugly they can't help being cute, and surly old grampas do.
With an unmistakable charm and real world honesty that is not to be missed.

Thanks to Negalley and Harlequin for providing the review copy on which this honest critique is based.
This book may be read as a standalone. Though it is the 6th in a continuous series.
This book also contains bonus material.
