Christmas in the Alps by Melody Carlson

 


Can you believe it's less than 3 months until Christmas?    It's hard to imagine there will be Christmas lights, decorations and the days will grow shorter soon.  

I am a huge fan of Christmas novellas and Christmas in the Alps by Melody Carlson is a great one.  Simone finds a letter from her great grandmother after her grandmother has passed about a  treasure in Avre, France.  Kyle wants a second career in watchmaking and meets Simone on the plane to Europe.  I loved their natural chemistry, and delightful dialogue.   


This has all the makings of a great Christmas story where friendship and family are celebrated and people work through challenges in time for Christmas.  The author paints beautiful word pictures describing France at Christmas.  I felt snow on my face and saw the sparkly Christmas lights as I read this delightful story. 


 This sweet story has a mystery, a hidden treasure, romance and a happily ever after.  This beautiful hardcover book is one you would like to add to your collection or gift a friend for Christmas.  I recommend it.
