Review of: Christmas at Fireside Cabins
This is feel-good romance, set in a quaint little town at Christmas. Lila and her three best friends plan to spend a week in December together on a girls' getaway vacation, which may be their last as their lives are going in different directions. However, once they arrive at their resort destination, they find it is vastly different than the brochures had led them to believe - the cabins are run-down, the landscaping neglected, and in fact the whole town and people it in feel anything but cheerful or festive. However, the friends decide to make the best of it and celebrate their time together. In so doing, they meet Theo, the grumpy owner of the coffee bar, and Eleanor, the grieving widow and owner of the resort. The ladies soon take Eleanor and everyone else under their wing, determined to help the community and spread some Christmas cheer. While the premise of the story is wonderful, I didn't quite believe that four women with such incredibly different backgrounds and personalities would be friends, much less live in the same apartment complex. The characters were a little too stereotyped for my taste. I found Theo's backstory to be much too unbelievable as well. However, it was a charming story featuring characters with good hearts and a happy ending. Hence, I'd still recommend this book for a feel-good holiday romance read.
