Ready for a feel good read that will ease you into the Christmas spirit? Join forty-three-year-old newbie innkeeper Jenny Beckett at the Lakeside Resort on beautiful Heron Lake. Jenny’s dreading Christmas. With almost no cabins booked for the holidays, she’s accidentally made promises on social media about dazzling Christmas festivities happening at the Lakeside Resort. Trouble is, the holidays … holidays are fast approaching, Jenny’s not begun to finalize plans, and she keeps running into roadblocks.
Stretched tight, Jenny scrambles to book a decent Santa Claus, a horse-drawn wagon for Currier and Ives-style sleigh rides, and the Christmas choirs she’s so enthusiastically described online. To complicate matters, Mama has a frightening fall, Charlotte and Ashe are at odds about their upcoming wedding, and Jenny’s getting the jitters about marrying and building a cabin with her fiancé, Luke.
When Jenny shares her fears with Luke and her best girlfriends, she starts to feel the wonder of the season. Friends gift her a new vintage camper, Mama and Landis make a startling announcement, and friends and family pitch in to help her deliver the dazzling Christmas she’d promised. Jenny realizes she already has all she needs for a magical Christmas and a happy future.
With cozy romance, classic carols, horse-drawn sleigh rides, and happily ever afters, Christmas joy is always on tap at The Lakeside Resort.

I love this series and the writer has a gift for telling a story. However, this is the 3rd book I have read by this author and am very disappointed by the number of typos and grammatical errors. It was the same in the previous two books. I kept hoping it would get better with each book but Nope, it did not. She really needs a proofreader. She is such a talented writer but the lack of editing makes her appear to not take her craft seriously.
This is the third book in a wonderful series. I highly recommend checking out the other two books in the series, but this can be read as a stand alone. (If you read the others it will be a more enjoyable
Its a short little holiday story, but perfectly crafted so that everything moved along at a lovely pace. Great for a cozy afternoon indoors.
Jenny is still trying to make a go of her resort and looking for holiday activities to pull in guests, all while suffering a small case of wedding jitters of her own. She sent out a newsletter promising fabulous holiday activities, but she has no clue of what they’ll be!
Oh and then there’s her bff Charlotte’s wedding. There’s a particular scene there that will warm your heart as she helps her friend shop for her wedding gown. (No spoilers here, but let’s just say, Jenny’s a friend we all want to have)
This was a delightful journey through the holiday season, with Jenny and all her friends and family. I can’t wait for the next book, which should be Jenny and Luke’s wedding! Squee!!
