Stacy's Reviews > Shaking the Sleigh

I have read many of this author’s other books and liked them - this one does not disappoint either! And if you are a fan of her other books, some of those characters make an appearance in this one.

Callan is a former soccer player who suffered a career ending injury. He moves across the country to a small town in Maryland where his recently windowed brother and two young nieces live. He is lost, unsure how to rebuild his life.

April is a TV producer who is working on a Christmas home decorating show for her uncle. After her last disastrous job, this is her last chance in TV and she has to make it a success. And she is stuck in an over-the-top Christmas town when she hates Christmas.

Callan owns the house that she absolutely needs to be on her show. What starts as a stand-off becomes a friendship, then a romance. Both of them are lost in their own way, trying to figure out what comes next. The small town embraces them and shows them what they are missing by keeping to themselves.

This is a well-written holiday story.
