Description

All I Want for Christmas is a big, cozy Christmas story about the importance of family, the strength of childhood friendships, and learning to trust your heart. Fans of Carole Matthews, Susan Wiggs and Susan Mallery – and anyone who likes the glow of Christmas lights and the rustle of wrapping paper – will fall in love with this feel-good Christmas treat. Christmas comes once a year . . . But true love comes once in a lifetime. Snowflakes are falling, there’s carol singing on every corner, and Leah Evans is preparing for a family Christmas at her grandmother’s majestic plantation house in Virginia. It won’t be the same now that her beloved Nan is gone, but when Leah discovers she has inherited the mansion, she knows she can give her daughter Sadie the childhood of her dreams. But there’s a catch. Leah must split the house with a man called David Forester. Leah hasn’t heard that name in a long time. Not since they were kids, when Davey was always there to catch her. Now David is all grown up. He’s gorgeous, successful, and certain of one thing: Leah should sell him her half of the house. They can’t agree, but as they share memories over wine by the log fire, Leah notices a fluttering in her stomach. And by the look in his eyes, he’s starting to feel it too. Will it be Leah or David who must give up their dreams? Or, with a little bit of Christmas magic, will they finally understand Nan’s advice to them both about living life without regrets … and take a chance on true love?

In the first half of the book the spirit of Christmas was missing completely but then it turned out to be a cozy Christmas read. But I already read better stories of the author.

Ich habe in den letzten Jahren immer schon gern die weihnachtlichen Geschichten von Jenny Hale gelesen und sie haben mir fast alle sehr gut gefallen. Bei dieser Geschichte hat es mir allerdings etwas zu lange gedauert, bis die richtige Stimmung aufkam. Die Erbschaftsgeschichte zog sich einfach so in die Länge. Aber ab der Hälfte war es dann dieser winterlich weihnachtliche Wohlfühlroman, wie ich ihn von der Autorin gewöhnt bin. Die letzte Botschaft von Nan hat noch dann auch zu Tränen gerührt. Es ist kein reiner Liebesroman, sondern es geht auch um Freundschaft, Familie und Zusammenhalt ❤️

3.5 I have been a huge fan of the previous Christmas books by Jenny Hale, so I have been very excited to read her newest book. At the beginning I had some trouble getting into the story and the pulling over the estate couldn't hold my interest all the time. But the story grew more and more and me and to the end I really liked it. There was such a cosy and homely atmosphere, which I really enjoyed. There were some happy tears several times. The characters were really sweet. I liked David, Leah and especially Sadie. She was such a cute little girl. The love story was predicatable and came rather too quick for my taste. I wish there would have been a build of chemistry earlier. All I want for Christmas is a great seasonal read about the importance and the love of family ties.
