Faith Sterling relishes experiencing the great outdoors in style, so her job at Silver Bells Luxury Tours in Christmas Mountain, Montana is ideal. Sure, business has been slow of late, but hopefully the influx of tourists for the holiday season will give them the much-needed boost in sales they need.Adam Kline is a city-boy who inherited Silver Bells Luxury Tours when his dad passed away. Adam … away. Adam regrets not spending more time with his dad due to his busy work schedule heading a PR firm in Manhattan. Since the store is a painful reminder of that fact, he wants nothing more than to sell it.
But Adam doesn’t count on Faith, who’s determined to show him how fantastic her small mountain town is, and convince him to keep the store and his dad’s dream alive. Soon, Adam is thinking about more than the future of the store—he’s thinking of a future with Faith.
Will the enchanting outdoor excursions be enough to convince Adam to take a chance on keeping the store open? More importantly, will a little Christmas magic help Faith and Adam remember that business is business, but love is what matters most of all?

Christmas Mountain is where I want to go on holiday! With beautiful scenery and fabulous characters that are so believable and seem like genuine people I’d like to meet. Adam has many regrets about not spending more time with his Dad before he died and now coming back here is bittersweet. But then he meets Faith who worked for his Dad and she loves the place with a passion. When these two meet, I just knew there was going to be fun and plenty of wonderful romance. Susan Hatler is a new author to me and I’m really enjoying her terrific stories. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Most definitely recommended.
We are back in Christmas Falls to see Faiths story after she came back when Miss King’s health declined, Faith has gotten her life sorted out and loving her job at Silver Bells Luxury Tours until Mr Kline passes and now her life is a mess again. This is a story of childhood dreams, determination, loss, learning that just because people aren’t around it doesn’t mean they don’t love you and love can pop up when you are least looking for it!
Both Faith and Adam are both relatable in different way both have drive and ambition but for different things that will hurt the other if they succeed, this in turns leads to many a frustrating moment, laughs, warm fuzzies, surprise visits, banding together for a good cause and a love story that makes you warm all over.

I loved this story about Adam and Faith. They both end up in their home town. For different reasons of course. But this story was so much fun and addressed emotional issues with such finesse. Can’t wait to read more stories about the characters in this town!

This was a sweet Christmas romance. There were plenty of funny hijinks as Faith tries to convince Adam not to sell his father’s Santa land legacy Silver Bells and in the process falls for him. Adam never visited Silver Bells until now and all he can think about is how much he can make off it, so he can use it to advance at his NYC employer. He’s forgotten how magical Christmas can be. Faith loves everything about Silver Bells and Adam starts to see it too, but misunderstandings drive a wedge between them and she may lose Silver Bells and Adam forever. I would love to visit a place like this. There are so many wonderful things to experience. It made me feel like a child again.
Mr. Kline, owner of Silver Bells Luxury Tours, passed away, and his son Adam has finally come from New York to visit the company he now owns. Unfortunately, he has plans to sell the company. Faith can’t let that happen – it’s a wonderful place to work in a fabulous location, and the company embodies the Christmas spirit year round. She’s passionate about the company, and fights Adam every step of the way. Until she falls for him. And he falls for her. They have hurdles – business, personal and romantic – to deal with. The best part was bringing him back together with the father he’d abandoned years ago. This was a charming and heartwarming story to read, watching Christmas work its magic on Faith and Adam.

This is a wonderful small town Christmas story that will have you smiling. I loved the fun and quirky characters in the delightful small town. Faith and Adam are charming and loveable. The story line is captivating and well developed. I enjoyed this book and recommend.
Faith thought Adam was coming to take over the running of Silver Bells. But
He had come to sell it. She had to find a way to make him love Blue Bells as much as she did.
This book focuses on the relationship between Faith Sterling, who is employed by Silver Bells Luxury Tours at Christmas Mountain, and Adam Kline, who plans to sell the business after inheriting it at his father’s death. It’s up to Faith to convince Adam to keep the business. This enjoyable book is well written, has realistic and believable characters, great romance, and lots of Christmas spirit. The novel is a witty, humorous, emotional, and heartwarming romance. Susan Hatler has written another tender love story. I highly recommend this charming Christmas romance!

If you’re after a warm fuzzy Xmas tale this is for you. Silver Bells Luxury Tours saved Faith when she returned home for a Xmas favour to an old friend. Unfortunately the owner has died & his son Adam intends to sell the business & Faith does everything she can to save it.
There is an attraction between the two, a few misunderstandings as well. So will Santa save the day & Faiths wish be granted?
This is a clean, sweet tale.

Faith Sterling had unexpectedly returned to her hometown of Christmas Mountain, Montana, when her childhood choir teacher and mentor, Melody King, asked if her to come back to perform in The Christmas Extravaganza, an annual event. When her boss would not give her the time off, she quit her job, packed her belongings, and moved back to Christmas Mountain. She was out of money and needed to find work quickly.
A man named Larry Kline, who looked a lot like Santa, if she were honest, said he loved the song they sang for Melody. Larry said he was the owner of Silver Bells Luxury Tours that runs all year, and he offered her a job! He brought Christmas alive for everyone. When he died, he left his business to his city-boy son, who worked at a PR firm in New York City. Without Larry’s marketing skills, the business was suffering, but Faith had hope that Adam Kline would keep the business going. But when Adam returns to his hometown, his intention is to sell the property. It has hurtful memories for him. With Faith’s job of showing the tourists the beauty of her town, she needs to turn her skills toward convincing Adam not to sell. Which of them will be more convincing? Will their time together help them to discover feelings for each other that might lead to an entirely different path? Will the magic of Christmas work a miracle in their lives?
This was a cute story with good characters, a good story line, and lots of Christmas magic interspersed among the pages! Grab a copy and enjoy the Spirit of Christmas hovering over Christmas Mountain and see if wishes do come true!
Continuing the adventures of the women who had met as girls in Ms. King’s choir, Twas the Kiss Before Christmas tells of Faith, who finally feels like things are going her way. Until the unexpected death of her favorite boss, the man who helped her to find her place.
The conflict between Faith and Adam, as she sought to save the company that Adam sought to sell was interesting. The way that Adam was slightly oblivious to how bad his choice appeared was kinda endearing. Their struggle between the attraction they felt and the anger at each other for not seeing things their way worked and made for a good plot.
I especially loved what Adam found in the box of his father’s things – and the way it changed his perspective on just about everything. But I didn’t really get why he was so angry with Faith when he found out she was trying to prevent the sale of Silver Bells Luxury Tours. It seems like he knew she was against it. . .
Overall, this was a fun, sweet story that I can recommend.
A sweet lovely christmassy story! A emotionally stunted man and a woman who nearly loses hope in her namesake. A X-massy love story with more then just focus on the couple but on family, friends and others. Love comes from all sides… the love of a parent and of friends and love of self. It’s witty and emotionally charged with a most cherished holiday backdrop … Christmas. I love Susan’s work!! I’m never disappointed and just love how she flows as a storyteller with new and inventive plots. In fact the ending or near ending surprised me. I don’t want to spoil the book by telling parts; just buy it. You won’t be sorry! Thanks so much for allowing me to read it for an honest review. I cannot be more honest then I loved it! Now will go check out the rest of the series!!
Beautiful sweet holiday romance to get you in the mood for Christmas. Faith came back to her home town a year ago; needing the peace and joy the town could give her. Now the Silver Bells Resort where she has worked for a year is being sold by the previous owner’s son, Adam. Silver Bells is a Christmas themed resort in the mountains in Montana, but one of the new buyers wants to tear it down and make it into a spa. Can Faith change Adam’s mind and use the resort to re-connect him with his deceased father? And what about the sparks that fly when she and Adam are together. He is determined to go back to New York, but she has lived in a big city before and doesn’t want to again. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Christmas is magic. And this story just adds more fuel to that belief. I felt like I was reading a Hallmark movie, that’s how sweet and emotional Faith and Adam’s story is. Adam’s father’s passing has left a hole in both their lives that neither one has recovered from yet. Adam wants nothing to do with he memories Silver Bells brings up in him, while Faith wants to honor every one of the memories the tour company represents for her. The challenges facing this pair produce a roller-coaster ride of a read. I was enjoying this story so much, that now I’m a little sad it’s already over.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
I really loved this story of Faith and Adam. I wish I could go visit Christmas Mountain. This place is so magical. Susan did an amazing job making you feel like you were experiencing the tours. I was wondering how this would play out having the boss/employee relationship with their chemistry. I loved all the heart and memories in this story. Great book
About the best thing I can tell you about this book is that it made me smile! I love the holidays and to read about an entire town that jumps all in? Wonderful! This particular story is about another member of a long-ago choir team, Faith Sterling. Faith’s journey back to her hometown of Christmas Mountain hasn’t been an easy one however when her old mentor, Ms. King, asks for the team to grant her a dying wish, Faith knows she MUST come back, no matter the cost.
No spoilers but a wonderfully jolly gentleman (who will seem SO familiar!) offers her a lifeline, which she takes, and it opens up so much of the world to her and gives her, well, faith – something she never thought she’d have again. During her stay in Christmas Mountain, someone else who has been away most of his life, returns to tidy up some loose ends, and his name is Adam Kline. Adam, too, has much to deal with but working with Faith comes to mean so much more to both of them.
This is a sweet, wonderful, sometimes LOL funny love story for Faith and Adam. Each one has much to deal with in coming to terms with how they view their own pasts and of course, how well they work as a team. Lovely, lovely story that hit all the holiday ‘feels’ for me and I recommend!
This romance delivers a delightful combination of sweetness and emotion. I thought that Faith and Adam were both wonderful characters that were easy to relate to. Adam is reeling from the death of his father and the major regrets he harbors over their relationship. As many of us can attest to, this blend of emotions can often lead to short sighted decision making and even more regrets later on. I felt for him and was so glad that Faith entered his life at just the right time. Faith, I also felt was very easy to connect with. She loves her job, her life and where she lives. When all that is threatened she goes into full on “cheerleader mode” to show Adam all the important and charming things he just can’t see. This is just a truly wonderful read, that provides lots of smiles and feels. I am posting an independent impartial review.
Sweet story, but predictable and not compelling. If you love Hallmark Christmas movies, you will love this. It is well-edited, which is a plus.
