Review: Up-coming, Martha
Stewart-wanna-be Lexi Alexander has moved from her old life and ex-husband to …
Christmas Lane. She’s trilled to create a holiday hubbub for her son and
daughter but, on the first day at her new house, she finds a stranger pulling
the head off the snow man that she and her family just made. What kind of Scrooge
would destroy a child’s snowman?
Kyle Miller is stuck. Current author
in vogue of children’s adventure novels, Kyle is struggling to make his main
man, character Jared Strong … do … anything … What has possessed this Christmas
miser to pull the head off a neighbor’s snowman?
Personal Review: I thought the
novella was cute. It took a while to get into the characters of Lexi and Kyle
(since this was a novella that’s not a good thing). But, once I got to the
middle and enjoyed Christmas Eve with the family, I had to say I was in tears.
Just as quickly, I found myself saying “this plot is moving too fast. There is
no build up to this. This would not happen in real life.” Understandably since
this is a novella things need to move fast but I think that this was a little
lacking at the end. The climax and resolution happen in the last page and a
half. I would have rather a little more development in plot. Characters were
well styled and ambitious. They did not fall flat; rather the plot could have
used a little more buoyancy at the end.
Recommend to: romance readers, fans of free stuff, kindle reader
