Review: The Sprite Before Christmas by Roxy Boroughs

 

A wisecracking Christmas sprite takes a heartbroken woman on a magical journey to discover the true meaning of love and family, but only if she has the courage to act before it's too late.

 

My Review:

A heartwarming Christmas miracle.

On Christmas Eve, Faith Bridges was packing up her house.  She would soon be divorced from her husband, Noel.  While going through her jewelry box and came across the tiny sprite pin that Noel gave her the first time they met.  She wore it every Christmas.  The next thing Faith knew, the sprite came to life.  Her name was Holly Tinselberry and she was a feisty little thing, who would take Faith on a trip down memory lane in hopes to save her marriage.   

This book was a fun escape and really got me in the Christmas spirit.  I liked Faith and Noel and hoped Holly would be able to save their marriage.  They seemed so perfect together.  Holly sure had her work cut out for her.
