You’ve heard the saying “That the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” well this book is somewhat on that order……All Annabelle Denson wants is a white Christmas, She is so bored with the ole Mississippi Christmas that she has each year. She longs to go north to visit her cousins in Chicago who always have a white Christmas. Who knows maybe she will meet a dashing young man who she will fall madly in love with and he with her. She shares her longing for a snowy Christmas with her best friend Samuel Frazier. He is a long time friend of her and her brother. Samuel is just starting out in his own woodworking business. He is in love with Annabelle but has hidden his true feelings from her. He is afraid if she leaves she will never return. How can the shy Samuel let her know his true feelings for her? Will she remain in Mississippi? Will she return his love? Also it was interesting to read about the logging process in the Mississippi region during the late 1800s. There was and still is lots of pine trees. Still has a logging industry…..You will enjoy reading this novella in The Piney Woods Collection…….I received this book through The Calico Crew, and was not required to give a positive review, but am happy to do so.
The Evergreen Bride by Pam Hillman was originally part of the novella collection 12 Brides of Christmas. Now it is a standalone novella and part of the Mississippi Piney Woods series.
All Annabelle Denson wants is a white Christmas. And maybe a beau. What she doesn’t know is that her best friend, Samuel Frazier, already loves her.
Best-friend to lovers is not usually my favorite trope, but The Evergreen Bride caught me completely by surprise! It is incredibly sweet and heartwarming and left me all the good feels of Christmas.
If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas and looking for a story to give you that ‘aww’ feeling, then definitely download a copy of The Evergreen Bride. It’s so good!

Annabelle Denson has never seen snow, and she dreams of a white Christmas with her Illinois cousins. Her best friend Samuel Frazier is just starting out in his woodworking business, he had along hidden his true feelings for Annabelle, but is now afraid that once she leaves that she may not come back.
A sweet friends to lovers Christmas romance. I loved the strong sense of family and friendship, I liked how Samuel wants to be the best kind of man and provider for a future wife. Annabelle loves to learn and experience new things, I liked that she wants to branch out and explore a little.
Overall, a enjoyable Christmas romance, with great characters and themes of faith. It is a short read, so I don’t want to spoil too much!

What a fun historical novella that was originally a part of the 12 Brides of Christmas Collection. It’s a sweet friends-to-more story between Annabelle who is itching to visit snow and cousins in Chicago for adventure and Samuel who is the steadfast, hard-working, and tender-hearted Mississippi business partner and best friend of her brother. Their friendship is fun and genuine but Samuel harbors deeper feelings that Annabelle doesn’t realize until she’s ready to leave for her grand adventure. His tender care of Annabelle is quite lovely and I loved Annabelle’s large family. I also enjoyed learning about the logging process in the Mississippi region during the late 1800s. It’s a wonderful Christmas novella that you can finish in one sitting and sigh in appreciation at the end.

All Annabelle wants is to have a white Christmas, so she plans a trip to see her cousin Lucy in Chicago to borrow her snow (and maybe meet a boy not from her small town in Mississippi). But right before she leaves on her trip, she realizes that her brother’s business partner is far more interesting than some unknown boy in Chicago. Samuel puts his carving skills to the test making her a snow globe of their town so she can finally have her white Christmas at home. You know what they say! There’s no place like home for the holidays! So sweet!
