I volunteered to read A Glorious Christmas. My opinion
is my own.
Returning to Christmas Town introduces us to Gloria Chavez. She is in town to help her best friend, Savannah, who is about to give birth to her and Kurt’s first child. Gloria knows that Savannah is trying desperately to match her up with Kurt’s brother, Walt, but Gloria’s convinced that she can resist. After all, she’s got her life in Miami. Right?
Walt Christmas has been a widow for 10 years. His twin daughters are now grown and in college. But, is he really ready to date again? Get married again? He knows that his sister in law is trying to get him together with her best friend, but his heart is still with his former wife, Rose. Can he really say good bye to Rose and love another?
When Gloria shows up in Christmas Town, Walt’s Christmas magic goes haywire and he’s determined to figure out what’s going wrong and how to handle it. As far as Gloria is concerned, she’s drawn into Walt’s presence like a magnet. But, she’s determined to figure out a logical explanation.
What follows is a cute story of mild magical elements and gentle romance. Even though the events themselves happen rather quickly, I didn’t get a sense that the romance is rushed. The magic surrounding them is a compelling reason to believe in it.
Romance – Steamy PG. There is implied / closed door romance and kissing.
Language – clean
My rating – 5 stars.
A Glorious Christmas (Christmas Town Book 5) by Ginny Baird. This is Gloria Chavez and Walt Christmas’ story.
A fun and sweet story. I really enjoyed the characters and the magic of Christmas Town. Oh my goodness there was so much magic! Walt was so funny trying to hide all the magical things that were happening from Gloria. It was so much fun watching Walt and Gloria’s journey to find love.
This is a great story to escape from daily struggles. Get comfortable and enjoy a few laughs because magic is in the air.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I loved Gloria and Walt’s story!! Gloria brought out the magic in Walt. Literally. It was hilarious to watch Walt as he tried to suppress that magic and his attraction to Gloria. He was adorable! Then, when he decided to just accept what was happening – oh, my! That man knows how to woo a woman!! But it wasn’t all about romance. I loved the deeper moments and understanding between them. I also loved the support they received from Walt’s daughters, especially Noelle.
It was great to be back in Christmas Town! I felt like I was right there, seeing everything with Gloria. The descriptions of the inn, the town and the shops were vivid and made everything come to life. I also felt pulled into the friendships and love that the people there have for each other. Christmas Town truly is a special place!
This is the fifth book in the series, but can be read and enjoyed without reading the other books. However, you may understand some things that happen better if you read those first. But whether you start here or earlier in the series, you’ll fall in love with Christmas Town and its’ inhabitants!
I received a copy of the book, which I voluntarily reviewed. I have given my honest opinion.
What a delightful Christmas book!
It’s a touching story, filled with
Christmas magic. Gloria is visiting Christmas Town. She lives in Miami.
Gloria is there for the birth of her BFF,
first baby. She will be staying at the Christmas Inn, that is owned by Savannah’s brother-in-law, Walt.
Walt has been a widower for the past
10 years. With the help of his family,
Walt raised his twin daughters, & ran
the Christmas Inn. Savannah has talked to Walt & Gloria for the past year, about how perfect they would be together. They both were not interested. Till Walt & Gloria saw each other for the first time.
That’s when all the Christmas magic started. I love Walt & Gloria’s story!
A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE!!!
Loved it. It has been awhile since I read the previous books in this series and I was happy to get reacquainted with many of the previous characters. Salt and Gloria’s story was another in the series that is a very feel good story.
