The Christmas Inn A Novel by Pamela Kelley [REVIEW]

SPORTOCHICK’S MUSINGS: If you want a book that makes you feel all warm and mushy inside this book is for you.

DESCRIPTION

Explore this delightfully cozy and joyful novel of second chances at the most wonderful time of the year, from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Kelley.

A feel-good novel as delightful and comforting as a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter’s night, The Christmas Inn is bestselling author Pamela Kelley’s most heartwarming and magical book yet.

Riley Sanders didn’t plan on losing her job as a content marketing manager right before Christmas. When she calls her sister Amy to vent, she learns that their mother has broken her leg and could really use some help at the inn. Riley decides to head home to the inn, nestled along the shores of Cape Cod, in time for the Christmas rush. She is happy to help and needs something to distract her as mistletoe is hung and snowflakes begin to fall.

When she gets there, she not only finds delicious cookies and a crackling fire to lift her spirits, but also the sense of family she’s been missing all along. There’s Franny, a woman who has just lost her sister and has four unopened letters from her that she plans to use to open her up to new experiences on the Cape. And there’s Aidan, her high school sweetheart, now a widower, who is staying at the inn with his nine year-old son, Luke. What begins as a quick stay over the holidays to help her mom turns into something that means much more—a second chance at romance, a deeper sense of found family, and all the joy and wonder that comes with Christmastime on Cape Cod.

REVIEW

If you want a book that makes you feel all warm and mushy inside this book is for you. This delightful love story is about family, loss, and new beginnings.

Riley the main female character loses her job and is struggling with her personal relationship. I like that she has a place to go to lick her wounds and recreate herself. With her mother’s injury what a perfect way to help her mom and give Riley time to think. Her journey is done with empathy, grace, and a surprising decision.

The main male character is Aiden, a widower with a son and Riley’s high school sweetheart. Author Pamela Kelley did a brilliant job of building the interaction between these three characters in a manner that was not only believable but filled with compassion.
