A Wild Goose Chase Christmas by Jennifer AlLee Review

Hello Friends :)

Does anyone else read Christmas books all throughout the year?


For some reason, I always do, and I think it's mainly because I love them too much to only read them during the holiday season.


A couple of weeks ago, I finished a really sweet one that emphasized family, friends, and understanding what's truly valuable in life, and today I can't wait to review it all for you guys.


A Wild Goose Chase Christmas by Jennifer AlLee:



Source: Library

Publisher: Abingdon Press

Publication Date: November 2012

Genre: Christian Fiction/Contemporary

Series: Quilts of Love

Synopsis:

Upon her grandmother's death, Izzy Fontaine finds herself in possession of a Wild Goose Chase pattern quilt that supposedly leads to a great treasure. Of course, once the rest of the family finds out about the "treasure map," they're determined to have a go at the treasure themselves. And, if that weren't enough, Max Logan, a local museum curator, contacts Izzy and says that Grandma Isabella promised him the quilt.

What is it about this quilt that makes everyone want it? Is Izzy on a wild goose chase of her own, or a journey that will lead her to the treasure her grandmother intended?

My Review:

A Wild Goose Chase Christmas was a light hearted, holiday read with a protagonist that you'll want to root for, a writing style with lots of spunk, an adorable budding romance, and an emphasis on the things that truly matter in life.

When Izzy Fontaine receives a quilt after her grandmother's passing, her life changes in unexpected ways that she never could have seen coming. The quilt is rumored to lead to great treasure, and soon Izzy's brother is caught up in trying to find the financial wealth he assumes this means. However, Izzy's grandmother was a smart lady who understand what's the "true treasure", and her last bequests will have her family on a quest to discover this for themselves.

Full of holiday cheer, many hysterics and hi jinks, and some great secondary characters like Max, Max's grandfather and Max's assistant, this one was a pleasant surprise, and I highly recommend it. If you're a fan of contemporary novels, clean romances, and sweet Christmas stories with a side of spunk, then you'll definitely love this one, and you'll want to go ahead and pick it up. This was my first experience with a Jennifer AlLee novel, but I will definitely now be checking out more books from her in the future.

Final Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐


Thanks so much for reading guys! I hope you all have a great rest of your day, and I'll see you all again soon.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...
