Love can transform even the best-laid plans in this heartfelt Christmas novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.
Trapped in the middle of five siblings, Everly Lancaster always had big dreams. Now a top real-estate executive, Everly finds her work is her life, leaving no space for anything (or anyone) else. Sensing her stress, Everly's boss insists she take December off. At first, a month away seems crazy--how will the company survive without her? But Everly's mother convinces her otherwise. She deserves a vacation--plus, when she returns, she'll have no excuse to skip family Christmas like she did last year. But after her vengeful assistant books a guided cruise in the Amazon instead of the luxury beach vacation she expected, Everly is horrified to realize that she's about to spend the next two weeks trapped--with no Wi-Fi --in the rain forest. Not even Asher Adams, the ship's charming naturalist, can convince Everly that the trip will be unforgettable. Slowly but surely, she realizes he is right: the sights are spectacular. And with each passing day, Everly's relationship with Asher deepens, forcing her to take a long, hard look at her priorities. Everly and Asher begin to see magic in the possibility of a life together. But as the cruise nears its end, and Everly's family Christmas approaches, both must decide if love is worth the risk. A merry surprise may be in store in Debbie Macomber's newest holiday delight.
This is a Romance. I was approved for this book through Netgalley after it had already came out, and I had pre-ordered the audiobook for this book. I have to say I am so glad I brought the audiobook for this book. I loved the narrator was so good, and I loved it so much. I read the kindle book I got from Netgalley while I was listening to the audiobook. Debbie Macomber is one of my favorite authors, but her Christmas book is hit or miss for me. This one was a win for me. I love Debbie Macomber writing style and how she brings her characters to live. I do not think this was a Christmas story because the Christmas part was only her visiting her family during Christmas right at the end of the book. I do not care that Christmas was missing, but that may bother some people. I do not feel the cover of this book fits it. To me this was a cute short quick romance book, and I could not put it down. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
