From Amazon bestselling author Diane Moody.Sometimes the best Christmas presents aren’t found under the tree . . .Working late on Christmas Eve, college senior Hannah Brooks is in the midst of a full-blown pity party. When a last-minute customer brimming with holiday spirit invites her to a candlelight service and a late-night family dinner, Hannah reluctantly accepts. She has no idea this … accepts. She has no idea this kindhearted woman is the mother of Jason McKenzie – leader singer of Out of the Blue, the hottest band in the country – and Hannah’s childhood idol. The evening ends with an innocent kiss (sans mistletoe) as Hannah is swept away by Jason’s unpretentious manner.
Over the holidays Hannah and Jason’s relationship grows, but when turmoil and tragedy strike at the very heart of his famous band, their newfound love is put to the test in the glare of the paparazzi spotlight. Throughout her rollercoaster of experiences with Jason and his friends, Hannah comes face to face with her own beliefs. Who knew she could learn more about prayer and faith by hanging out with a bunch of rock stars than she ever learned in church?
The author first wrote Blue Christmas as a gift for her then-teenage daughter in honor of her affection for a wildly popular band in the late 90s. The short story grew into a full-length novel, eventually surfacing on one of the band’s fan fiction websites where it became quite a phenomenon. More than 80,000 readers stopped by to read the story, with over 1000 of them sending personal emails to the author who still enjoys reading them today. Though the story’s details have been changed, its band and all characters now fictional, the story line remains the same. Author Diane Moody has dedicated Blue Christmas to her now-grown daughter, Hannah Moody.

Meh- just ok.
I loved the book and wished I could really meet the characters. Disappointed when it was done!
I wanted to like this book, but the main male character in the story is incredibly childish, selfish, and annoying. I don’t know how any woman could fall in love with him. Maybe he matures throughout the book, but I couldn’t make it that far to find out. The author seems like a lovely lady, so I hate to give this such a low review.
I thought the writing a bit forced. I thought Jason was frantic and selfish. I guess that might be resolved in the next book. However, I’m not interested enough to buy it.
Good story.
Very enjoyable read.
It kept my attention because you never knew what to expect next. Loved it
Wish it had of been longer.
Such a lovely story bringing together a music star and a college student. Life deals them some curves along the way. Faith is dealt with beautifully. Great read!!
I enjoyed the story very much. Different type of plot, which is always refreshing.
A little too steamy to me. But very interesting.
I liked it.
Was a bit contrived – small town girl meets singer from boy band and he falls head over heels in love with her within a few days…..right!
This book has a way of sucking you in and not letting go. If you want an enjoyable weekend to yourself, this is the book for you.
It’s a quick, clean read!
Couldn’t put it down, so good. Will read again soon.
Loved this book!
This story had me laughing out loud at Kylie and surprised at other times. While most of the world aren’t celebrities you can imagine yourself meeting one and your reaction.
Not interested
She didn’t let me down in this book either. I loved her tea cup series and loved this one also.
