Review of:  Christmas in Evergreen: Tidings of Joy

Nancy Naigle

This is an adorable, heart-warming Christmas romance with all the festive trappings of the season and more!   Reading this makes you feel like you are whisked away to an enchanted place.  Sure enough, dreams come true in Evergreen, where Christmas magic always abounds.  I absolutely loved the author's inspired creativity with elements such as a wishing snow globe and the mystery of the time capsule!  This book centers around the story of Katie, a newcomer to Evergreen who is a bit jaded and skeptical.  She is there on a vacation to gather inspiration for her writing and get away from her mother who is trying to control her career.  She meets Ben, a local resident, who quickly sees that Katie needs help to believe in true love and kindness.  Their love story is the perfect holiday treat and is enhanced with secondary romances between more of the town's citizens.  I haven't seen the movie or read the other books, but I do think it probably would have made this book flow better if I was already familiar with the cast of characters.
