Romance Holiday | Romance Contemporary

THE FOREVER CHRISTMAS TREE is the first book in the Bell Sound series by Sandra Hill and is a contemporary holiday romance novel. A story of love, loss, and second chances. Hill writes with humor and heart making this a book that you are sure to get lost in. THE FOREVER CHRISTMAS TREE is the type of story that makes you want to sit in a comfy chair in front of a fire with a cup of hot tea! Hill has created a group of characters that are well-developed with interesting backstories that are relatable. Characters that are realistic and you can see yourself being friends with or they remind you of someone you know. You are sure to have a few that you favor more than others but all are shine on their own. There are a few I did want to shake or slap some sense into. The setting has a gorgeous Christmas backdrop with loads of Christmas celebrations and lots of romantic angst. Plus a few steamy romantic scenes that are sure steam up your glasses and require oven mitts to hold the pages. Who doesn't love a good romance at Christmas? THE FOREVER CHRISTMAS TREE is a captivating romance that is sure to draw you in from the beginning and hold your attention until the very end. A romance story that is sure to stay with you long after you read the last page, the last word. I highly recommend THE FOREVER CHRISTMAS TREE to anyone who loves a steamy romance with a hint of Christmas magic.

SUMMARY

The Christmas bells are chiming across the Outer Banks town of Bell Cove, North Carolina, but there’s one local ‘grinch’ who’s not listening . . . He’s got bad-boy looks and a Bah Humbug attitude, so when the local paper asks the villagers to vote on the “Biggest Local Grinch” as a fund-raising project, Ethan Rutledge isn’t surprised to hear he’s made the ballot. He might own the local Christmas Tree Farm, but the holiday hasn’t been welcome in his home since Wendy Patterson left him heart-broken twelve years ago. But now Wendy’s back, fresh from a tour of duty as a female Navy SEAL. She’s bold, beautiful, and has five Navy buddies trailing after her—as if she needs a bodyguard! And what’s all this about them wanting to start a treasure hunting company right here in Bell Cove’s failing bell factory? Then Wendy learns about how Ethan’s been nurturing the one thing he has to remember her by: a gorgeous Norway Spruce tree. Can the magic of Christmas and the spirit of the town help rekindle the romance between two people who thought they’d left love behind years ago?
