A Bramble House Christmas was a sweet, entertaining story to read on Christmas Eve. It’s been made into a movie–which I can’t wait to watch. The book is also in a series, so I’m off to get more.
One of the things that I liked most about this book is that the couple acted like adults, upset when they learned of secrets that had been kept but still willing to have a grown-up conversation to work things out.
This book is a few years old, but one of my favorite re-reads during the holidays. I love everything about this story – the romance, the setting, and the heartwarming emphasis on family.
I loved this book. It was a great read. I have read it more than once.
Author C.J. Carmichael warms the hearts of her readers in this cozy, holiday romance novel, A Bramble House Christmas. This yuletide exultation takes a mother and son to Marietta, Montana; a reassuring place where goodwill, a family mystery, and an unlikely hero bids Willa and her son Scout a chance at future happiness. The novel was made into a Hallmark Channel Original TV Movie in November 2017, and this author was fortunate to have been invited to the viewing celebration. A Bramble House Christmas brings tidings of comfort and joy to Carmichael’s readers, and the sweet narrative will keep you smiling long after the story ends.
Yes, I saw the Hallmark movie, but I couldn’t resist this when I found it on sale on Chirp (audio). It’s a sweet story. I suspect I’ll read it again next Christmas, too.
Author CJ Carmichael puts plenty of heart in the holidays in “A Bramble House Christmas”. Single mom Willa Fairchild and her young son, Scout, travel from Phoenix, Arizona to Marietta, Montana to spend the holidays at the Bramble House Bed & Breakfast. Willa was an RN, and the trip was part of a bequeath from a patient who had recently passed away. The man, Greg Conrad, had become a good friend. Willa and Scout had been through some troublesome times, and the trip to Montana would be his first chance to see snow. Finn Conrad, a book illustrator using the last name Knightly, was also a guest at the B&B. He was there to observe Willa and to see why his father had left her a generous financial settlement after only knowing her a short time. However, Willa was anything but the schemer and swindler he had imagined her to be–she was naturally charming, and he was drawn to her. Scout had also worked his way through Finn’s defenses, but for one so young, there was an air of mystery about the boy. He seemed to have a certain wisdom beyond his six years, but he was experiencing many things for the first time. As Finn spent more and more time with Willa and Scout, he couldn’t help but wish that the circumstances which brought them together were different. Willa is also very attracted to Finn, and she finds her heart wanting to trust again. When Willa finds out Finn’s true identity and the reason he’s really in Marietta, will she forgive him? How will Finn react to the truth about Scout and why Willa is such a protective mother? Come and stay a while at the Bramble House Bed & Breakfast. Let the spirit of the season, the beauty of the setting, the warmth of the people, and the magic of Christmas fill you with love, peace, and hope.
