Mediocre as Hallmark Christmas movies go. No real chemistry between the main couple nor urgency to the plot. I did enjoy the fact that there was just one couple (estranged) so no side villains to keep an eye on. It was definitely going for a Chip & Joanna "Fixer Upper" vibe with their main cast, who started their own company. Held my attention while working, but wasn't anything special.

I read the second installment to this series a lot faster than I read the first one. Although there seemed to be less happening in this book, it was nice to see the character development, and to meet entirely new characters.
I still love the relationship between Ethan and Lena, and cant wait to see what happens in the third book. Hopefully I can add it to my christmas wishlist.

In this collection, Rachel Joyce connects seven short stories that span from just before Christmas Eve through New Year's Eve. What is most interesting is that Joyce not only arranges these tales chronologically, she also links them with other elements. You can read my review of this book (that I'm giving 4.5 stars out of 5) here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2017/04/15/the-eves-of-winter-stories/

I remember going to see the first 'Expendables' film in the nougthies.

They seem to have been getting progressively worse ever since.

In this, the latest (at the time of writing), the spotlight is largely taken away from Stallone and concentrates instead on Jason Statham's Christmas but, I'm sorry, I just couldn't roll with Megan Fox as being the (temporary) new leader: she can't act for the life of her!

Not just for young adults
My daughter bought this book on a whim, so whilst she was finishing up reading another book, I decided to read this, and I’m so glad that I did!
The story is well written, and you can feel the emotions coming from Juliette like you are in the room with her. I’ve already ordered the rest of the books, 6 in the set now, for Christmas!
