My Review:

This & Every Christmas is the first book I have read by Jaycee Weaver, but it will not be my last. This is the first novella in the Sinclair Sisters trilogy.

I was immediately drawn into the story of Clari and her family visiting the Christmas tree farm when she was thirteen years old. This is the first time she meets Noah. Fast forward to the present timeline, and she meets Noah again under different circumstances. The story alternates POVs between her and Noah, with flashbacks of Christmas' past.

This & Every Christmas is a super sweet, fun, unique, Christmas story. The story is seamlessly woven together. While it bounces between the past and present day, it is done well. There is a strong emphasis on family, traditions, and faith.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

As teens, their paths crossed every Christmas. This year, their paths intertwine.

Single father Noah Appel has suffered more loss than a man of twenty-five should. Between his grief and the mounting pressure of the approaching busy season, he’s overwhelmed—until an incident at his daughter’s school reintroduces him to a girl whose wild hair and quirky family always stood out from other visitors to his family’s tree farm. Only now, she’s a beautiful woman with a kind and helpful heart who throws him and his young daughter a welcome lifeline.

Offering to alleviate some of Noah’s stress seemed like the natural thing for music teacher Clari Sinclair to do, considering his family’s tree farm was the site of so many wonderful memories with her Christmas-obsessed family. Especially since the charming boy she once knew has grown into a handsome man whose burdens call to the deepest parts of her romantic heart.

Can these two turn memories of Christmases past into a future worthy of the Appel legacy?
