My Review:

I wanted to read this around Christmas, but didn't get to it. I tried to return it to Kindle Unlimited, but couldn't. I had to go ahead and read it.

This is a very light, fluffy read. There is strong spiritual content, and the characters communicate clearly.

Read for:

🎄marriage of convenience

🎄enemies to more

🎄villainy relatives

🎄clear communication

🎄Hallmarkish vibes

I think my biggest complaint is that there was a lot of telling rather than showing. They had long chats, but the reader is left wondering about what. I think the story would have been better if given the length of a novel, instead of a novella. The author could have fleshed out the characters and plot line more.

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

While Heather MacLinn is still reeling from the unexpected death of her uncle, she discovers he’s left behind a will with some very not so twenty-first-century-like stipulations. If she’s to inherit the home she was raised in since she was twelve then she needs to be married by the end of the year. However, her uncle’s unplanned death doesn’t leave her with much time as Christmas is only just around the corner.

On top of grieving her uncle’s death, and searching for a husband, Heather’s mortal enemy Jed Canopy returns to her life to wreak more havoc. Or at least that’s what she thinks. But can Jed be an unexpected friend when unknown relatives start bringing trouble to her already heavy heart?
