Catching up on Christmas Reads :-(

Christmas Lessons -Patty Smith Hall

ABOUT THE BOOK -
Love isn't always enough.
If it were, history teacher Claire Davenport would have married her childhood sweetheart Billy Warner in a heartbeat. But Billy has big dreams of coaching college football, a plan that could be sidetracked by Claire's disability. Fearing he'll resent her, Claire breaks their engagement and sets out to build a life around the children at her school.

But Christmas is the Season of Miracles!
Two years later, Billy Warner is back in Marietta, the new head coach at the school where Claire teaches, and determined to find out why she broke his heart. Working together to give Christmas to needy families in their community, they can't deny the love they've always shared, but will it be enough to last a lifetime? 

MY THOUGHTS -
This was a cute, sweet Christmas read. Nothing really wowed me about it, but still a nice one for the holidays!

A (Kinda) Country Christmas - Krista Phillips

ABOUT THE BOOK -
Sadie Jenkins lives and breathes Christmas every, single day of the year. Owner of Bethlehem's Boutique in the tourist mountain town of Gatlinburg, TN, she has no room for the bad boys of her past and devotes her whole life to the struggling boutique and her teenage daughter, Maribelle. She's perfectly happy with her country-living life until he walks into her store.

Nate Myers travels the globe for his job and has the bank account to prove his success. The former "bad" boy is in town for a short visit with his sister and is determined to not get caught up in all the Christmas hype. But then he falls for the beautiful shopkeeper—quite literally. 

MY THOUGHTS -
Fun and sweet Christmas story. I liked the relationship between the mom and daughter. I also loved the Christmas shoppe setting.
