Jingle All the Way: Cosy up this Christmas with the ultimate feel-good festive bestseller

by Debbie Macomber

Could a holiday romance save Everly's Christmas?

Everly Lancaster has always had big dreams, but her high-flying career has left little time for anything - or anyone - else. When the opportunity arises to take the whole of December off, Everly decides it's time to go on the holiday she deserves. Little does she know, there's more than one surprise in store for her this Christmas . . .

To escape the massive snowstorm on the way, Everly prepares for a sunny, relaxing cruise - until a mix-up with her booking lands her on a tour of the Amazon rainforest. At first, not even the handsome tour guide Asher can improve her mood, but soon the spectacular sights - and Asher's charming company - open workaholic Everly's eyes to all she's been missing in life.

As Christmas approaches and the tour comes to an end, will Everly finally realise there's more to life than work? And could Asher be the person to help her see it?

Jingle All the Way is a warm and wintry delight from the #1 New York Times bestselling author. The perfect Christmas read for fans of Heidi Swain, Carole Matthews and Milly Johnson

The tale begins in Chicago, then whisks us away to the Amazon before taking us home to the farm for the holidays.

This story had all the makings of a Hallmark movie. Overworked executive’s partner suggests she take a month long holiday when she wants to fire his niece. Said niece books a cruise and our heroine Evelyn ends up cruising down the Amazon. LOL.

On the cruise she finds herself smitten by Asher Adams, the ship’s charming naturalist. But Evelyn and Asher are from two different worlds. She is city; he loves the remote landscape along the Amazon river.

The story didn’t feel like a typical Macomber holiday read, and it took me a while to slip into the story. The last three-fourths of the book really grabbed me, particularly when Evelyn went home.

For me, the romance was a side-story to these two characters finding a work/life balance. I loved the farm, talks of fudge and the family members we met from siblings to cousins.

Jingle All the Way ended up being an enjoyable read, but not my favorite by this author. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
