RELEASE DAY REVIEW: Mary Christmas – Hanna Park

Amazon Link: amazon

I saw her through the melee of holiday shoppers, decked out in an ugly Christmas sweater with an elf hat atop her strawberry curls. Her emerald eyes sparkled. Her smile dazzled. Mary Christmas, the girl who stole my boyish heart and years later sent the man packing. I vowed there and then to rekindle the fire in her heart.

I could have married Christopher Northbrook. When he popped the question, I hadn’t said no—I didn't say yes. Like my father and grandfather, I was charged with keeping the Christmas secret safe. Leaving Forest Falls was out of the question. So, I watched the love of my life walk away. Now he’s back, a handsome widower with twin boys in tow. Fa La La La La.

In Forest Falls, second chances come wrapped in holiday magic!

Mary Christmas has lived in Forest Falls all her life and ten years ago the man she loved asked her to marry him and her answer was, she can’t leave. Christopher Northbrook took her answer as a no and left and that was the last time they saw or spoke to each other.

She heard he had married and hoped he was happy and then he ended up standing in front of her while she was wrapping presents.

When Christopher saw her, he wanted to get back what he lost, the woman he always loved. His wife is dead, and he has six-year-old twin boys Alfie and Dash, and he bought a house that has stood empty for years since it was believed to be haunted. There are many secrets that Christopher is unaware of, secrets that cost him the love of his life Mary.

Mary lives alone with her dog Tinsel, helping in her mother’s bakery and running the Christmas tree farm. Although Mary has never stopped loving Christopher, she can’t reveal her secret, so she continues to push him away.

This is the perfect book for Christmas, a Christmas story about miracles and second chances.
