Review: A Merry Bramble Christmas (Bramble House Chronicles Book 2) by CJ Carmichael


Bramble House B & B is booked for the Christmas season, and new owner Amy Arden and her husband Chet Hardwick are excited to spend their first Yuletide season as a married couple. To spread the joy of the season, they have carefully selected their guests for the week before Christmas including two very special people.

Oliver Rivers is coming to Marietta to fulfill his mother’s deathbed wish…to locate the daughter his mother gave up when she was fifteen. When that doesn’t go as planned, he finds himself gravitating to another guest at Bramble House.

Everyone calls Gemma Granger the runaway bride, but they don’t know she was deceived by her fiancĂ© and fled to Bramble House to nurse her broken heart. Instead, Gemma finds herself feeling an instant connection with Oliver and helping him bond with his long-lost family.

Oliver suspects Gemma is taking on him and other projects to avoid dealing with her heartbreak. But the truth is that with each passing day, Gemma is discovering that her real life and her real love might not be where she thought it was.

 

My Review:

A beautifully written Christmas story.

Falling in love wasn’t the plan, but when Gemma and Oliver met, while staying at Bramble House, it happened. They both needed someone and didn’t even realize it.  This book is so much more than just a romance.  It’s about starting over, discovering long lost relatives and learning to love again.  This is the kind of book that I can easily see being made into a movie.  The book is written so well that scenes are easy to visualize.  The story held my attention through the entire book and I had a hard time putting it down.  I think I even grew a bit attached to the characters.  This book will put you in the Christmas spirit.
