Happy Wednesday Everyone :)
I hope you're all having a great week so far, and that you've gotten to enjoy some quality time with amazing books.
My week has been pretty busy; but I have still gotten to enjoy some time with my hubby, and also some time curled up with some new amazing reads.
Can you guys believe that Christmas is just over two months away? That seems crazy, and yet at the same time exciting, as there's nothing I love more than the Christmas season.
If you've been reading my blog for awhile, then you'd know that I adore Christmas books. I read new ones each and every year, and since we are getting closer and closer to Christmas, today seemed like the perfect day to review a new one for all you guys.
The Clause in Christmas by Rachael Bloome:
Source: Complimentary Copy From The Author As Part Of Her ARC Team
Publisher: Secret Garden Press
Publication Date: October 29th, 2019
Genre: Clean Romance/Sweet Romance
Series: Poppy Creek Novels
Synopsis:
Sometimes home is where you least expect it...
Cassie Hayward hates Christmas. Especially this year.
No job. Flat broke. And an ex most definitely on the naughty list.
But the unexpected inheritance of a Victorian cottage in the idyllic town of Poppy Creek may be the miracle Cassie needs. Except for one problem: a clause in the will. Cassie must complete a series of festive tasks for each day in December leading up to Christmas. Overseen by the disarmingly handsome, Christmas-loving lawyer, Luke Davis.
Luke is as strong and steady as the bespoke furniture he crafts as a hobby. He has to be. Stepping into his late father's shoes as the town lawyer comes with a sleigh full of responsibilities. Which means the alluring stranger collecting her inheritance is a distraction he can't afford.
As the unlikely pair works together to complete the daily tasks, fighting their attraction becomes more futile than putting good ol' St. Nick on a diet. But when Cassie's ex reappears with the offer of a lifetime, she'll have to choose between love and the life she always wanted.
Curl up with a cup of hot chocolate and visit a town that feels like home. This endearing, sweet romance will warm your heart and fill you will hope. A "must-read" year after year.

My Review:
The Clause in Christmas is a true gem, and a story that will have each and every reader immersed in the Christmas spirit. I adore Christmas stories, and each year I try and read at least a few new ones in the weeks leading up to Christmas. I can honestly say that after finishing this one it's a definite new favorite, and I'm already in love with this quirky small town, and its heartwarming cast of characters.
Rachael Bloome has an immersive writing style that brings the characters and the idyllic small town setting to life on the page. Right from the start, I was completely enthralled with the story, and I enjoyed each and every character. I loved the focus on the Christmas Calendar, and the various holiday traditions that Cassie has to take part in throughout the month of December. This entire book just swarms with Christmas spirit, and gave me the warm fuzzies the entire time I was reading it.
With an idyllic small town setting, a swoon worthy romance, a journey of self-discovery, a vibrant cast of three dimensional characters, and most importantly, a true emphasis on faith, Jesus and the true meaning of Christmas, The Clause in Christmas was a delight from start to finish and I can't recommend it enough.
I honestly feel like it would make the perfect Hallmark Channel Christmas Movie, and that's about the highest compliment a book can receive from me.
Definitely pick this one up this holiday season, as I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Final Rating: 5/5
Thanks so much to Rachael Bloome for allowing me to advance read this!
