Book Review: Christmas Charms

Christmas Charms by Teri Wilson

Share

If you love Hallmark Christmas movies, you’re going to want to read Christmas Charms by Teri Wilson. It’s basically the book baby of It’s a Wonderful Life and Groundhog Day. And be honest…you can’t pass by either of those while channel surfing without stopping to watch for a little while, am I right?

I’m a big fan of author Teri Wilson, so I was excited to get the opportunity to read and review this one before its October 6, 2020 release date — shout out to Hallmark Publishing and NetGalley.

You know I love a second chance romance! So, when I saw this one involved our heroine Ashley heading back home for the holidays and running into high school boyfriend Aidan (who is now a hunky firefighter), I couldn’t resist.

Ashley, of course, does try to resist. She continually tries to leave town to head back to Manhattan only to have her plans foiled over and over again in a way that reminded me of Groundhog Day.

Normally, I’m not a big fan of any sort of magic in my books, but I make an exception at Christmas for Hallmark movies, so I figured why not make an exception for a Hallmark book?

The magic in this book revolves around an antique charm bracelet Ashley is gifted by a stranger on her train ride home. It’s not long before she realizes that each charm on the bracelet represents something she wished for as a child at Christmas…and now each thing is coming true.

I don’t know about you, but I loved charm bracelets when I was a kid, so it brought back some fun memories. And who doesn’t love a little magic and romance at Christmastime?

I sincerely hope Hallmark decides to make Christmas Charms into a movie, because it makes me smile every time I think about it. If you need a cozy little Christmas treat, grab this one and a hot cup of cocoa and snuggle in for a good read!

Want more second chance romances? Check out these books!

The hubby @seegreatart and I took a road trip to F The hubby @seegreatart and I took a road trip to Fort Pierce, FL this weekend to see the latest Florida Highwaymen exhibition at @aebackusmuseum. 🎨 

My hubby has written extensively on the Florida Highwaymen, and we are lucky to get to see so much of their work here in Florida. This group of more than two dozen African American painters captured the Florida landscape in bright, vivid colors from the 1950s on. They could often be found selling the paintings out of the trunks of their cars. 

You used to be able to nab these paintings in garage sales around the state from people who didn't know what they had. However, those days are long gone. Now, these paintings can go for tens of thousands.

One of the original Highwaymen, Roy “R.A.” McLendon, was in attendance last evening. How work hangs in the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture.

Have you ever seen these paintings around FL?

The woman blushed and seemed embarrassed that Lucy had caught her looking through the shelf. "Do you have Hydrangeas on Hill Street?"

"I do." Lucy nodded, moving to the left of the woman and plucking the title off the shelf. "I read it when it first came in. It's a lovely book."

"I feel a little silly." The woman opened the book and turned it so Lucy could see the author photograph on the back flap. "It's my first book. I still get a little thrill every time I find it in a bookstore." Her cheeks still flushed pink, her eyes not meeting Lucy's.
