Can Tyler and Jaycee admit they have feelings for each other?
A Miracle for Christmas by LeAnne Bristow is the first book in the 12 Days of Heartwarming Christmas, and this story is the first of the six bridesmaids. Ms. Bristow does a great job telling Jaycee's story and still keeping it true from the first novella to this full-length novel. I do love Tyler as well. I enjoyed this book immensely, and I can’t wait to read the other books in this series.
Jaycee Garland
The main female character is Jaycee Garland, and she is the cousin to Lisa Garland. Jaycee is going to be one of the bridesmaids at the wedding. However, she doesn’t understand why Lisa would pick her. Besides the fact that they are family and that Jaycee is doing the family a favor. At least that is what Jaycee thinks. Jaycee has a hang-up about her height that she allows to distort her self-image.
What I liked:
- I like about Jaycee is that she does what she wants to do. By doing that she makes it so that people only see her as a tomboy and one of the guys and not possibly anything to do with being feminine.
- I like that she loves basketball.
- She likes teaching in Christmas Town because she knows this is where she belongs. The reason I like that is that she could easily go someplace else, but she loves this small town.
- And the last thing that I like about her is a search and rescue worker.
What I didn’t like:
I don’t like about Jaycee is that despite trying to be proud of who she is and embracing the fact that she is a beautiful young woman she lets bullies degrade her. Also, she can be a bit too stubborn for own her good, especially when it comes to her and Tyler.
Tyler Gibson
The main male character is Tyler Gibson, and he is Jaycee's best friend and the love interest. He also is a teacher and coach at the school in Christmas Town. Tyler is probably going to end up being a date that Jaycee brings to Lisa’s wedding. He is still trying to figure out what he wants to be in life since his Hockey injury took him out of the NHL. Tyler grew up on the ice and has been trying to make his dad proud of him since his first day on a hockey team. Now, Tyler has to reinvent himself, but he truly has to find something to make him happy.
What I liked:
- I like about Tyler is that he has been friends with Jaycee through thick and thin of everything and they have stuck together.
- Another thing that I like about him is that he is trying to do the two things that he loves the most while not knowing which one he really wants. Tyler is the hockey coach at the high school and the teacher of culinary arts. He is really good at both.
- Even though Tyler's dilemma is trying to choose between his two careers, he and Jaycee are still best friends.
What I didn’t like:
The first thing that I dislike about Tyler is that he doesn't stand up to his dad. Seriously, man up and tell him to bud out.
And the last thing that I don’t like about Tyler is that he is just as stubborn as Jaycee. Perhaps if he could open his eyes and listen to his heart, he would see that he wants Jaycee to be more than a friend.
Five Star
I am giving A Miracle for Christmas by LeAnne Bristow a five-star rating. I thought that Ms. Bristow did an excellent job writing this story. I did love the dynamics between Jaycee, Tyler, and especially Miracle. These two are perfect for each other, and I can’t wait to see more about them in the future. Another thing I am looking forward to is reading more books by LeAnne Bristow in the future.
Anyways until the next time enjoy this review brought to you by,
