You Make it Feel Like Christmas by Toni Shiloh


 


Back cover: As if going home for the holidays jobless and single wasn't bad enough, she's dragged into a holiday season full of activities leading up to her sister's uber-romantic Christmas Eve wedding--to Starr's ex-boyfriend. But when her brother's best friend, Waylon Emmerson, attends their family Thanksgiving, she starts to wonder if maybe coming home for Christmas isn't so bad after all.


As Starr finds the perfect distraction in helping Waylon make over his late mother's Christmas shop, the most wonderful time of the year works its magic and the spark between them grows. But with the holidays fast approaching, Starr must decide what she wants out of life after the gifts are unwrapped and the ornaments are put away--to go back to New York City or to open her heart to a love that will last beyond Christmas Day?

 

Review: I am in full holiday swing with a second Christmasy title this week. "You Make it Feel Like Christmas" is a jingling, romantic, snack-sized Christmas tale - spiced with tricky family politics and sweetened with an adorable romance. When Waylon is invited to his best friend's family dinner, he just about falls over when a beautiful woman opens the door - when did his buddy's little sister grow up? He agrees to hang out over the holidays and help shield Starr from some family unpleasantries, but the whole 'friend' deal? Yeah, that lasts all of two seconds. 

This was a super cute Christmas story - Starr and Waylon were so sweet. I loved how Toni Shiloh wove Biblical messages of prayer and seeking God's will into the story. Well done!

 

Thank-you to Graf Martin for a copy of this book.
