Summary

From the USA Today bestselling author of the book-to-TV stories Coming Home for Christmas and Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses , with over one million copies of her books sold, comes a heartwarming holiday read that’s perfect for fans of Sheila Roberts, Debbie Macomber, and Jill Shalvis。

Traveling writer and researcher Stella Fisher is working in London when she's called home to her family’s farmhouse in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee to help her mother through the first Christmas without her father。 Compounding the situation, her younger sister Lily has run off to get married without telling anyone。

When Stella arrives home, she doesn’t expect to find Henry Dutton , the man she’d left behind。 As she could guess, after her heartbreaking exit so many years ago, he isn’t speaking to her。 What she doesn’t realize, however, is there’s a much bigger reason to blame for his unfriendly reception。 She quickly becomes the one person he believes can fix everything, but she isn’t sure about that。 She thought she’d buried her past, yet the look in his alluring blue eyes brings it all right back to the surface。

Under the glitter of the holiday trees at the local lot called Christmas, Stella uncovers more than she’d ever imagined。 Will she be able to return to her old life? Or will the unexpected be the biggest Christmas gift of all?

A heartwarming holiday escape that will have you rushing to your loved ones this Christmas。 If you enjoyed the Christmas movies based on Jenny’s books and are looking for more feel-good, small-town romance, look no further!

Or will the unexpected be the biggest Christmas gift of all?MY THOUGHTS: Jenny Hale has written a sweet and heart wrenching Christmas story involving second chance love。 There is love, grief, family, friends, secrets and some big decisions to be made。All the way through, I was keeping my fingers crossed for Henry and Stella but there seemed to be so many obstacles in the way of them rediscovering their love for one another, not least the devastating secret that Stella is keeping, not only from Henry but from everyone。 Stella and Henry are both grieving: Henry for his lost past, Stella for her recently deceased father and the future she has lost with Henry。 Stella seems adept at running away and avoiding difficult situations。 I became cross with her at the way she kept evading answering Henry's questions, reading and muttering "Tell him! Just get it over with and tell him!'Meet Me At Christmas is an easy and entertaining read, and sure to put you in the mood for Christmas。 I listened to the audiobook and Emma Love is a superb narrator。⭐⭐⭐。7#MeetMeatChristmas #NetGalleyTHE AUTHOR: When she isn’t writing, or heading up her romantic fiction imprint Harpeth Road, Jenny can be found running around her hometown of Nashville with her husband, two boys, and their labradoodle, taking pictures—her favorite pastime。DISCLOSURE: Thank you to Dreamscape Select, Harpeth Road Press via NetGalley for providing an audio ARC of Meet Me at Christmas by Jenny Hale for review。 All opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own personal opinions。 。。。more

Meet Me at Christmas is a joyous novel about a second-chance relationship between Stella and her ex, Henry。 After losing her father, Stella returns from Europe to the small town she used to call home, where her work allows her to continue writing her academic articles on the brain and memory。 While working, Stella finds that the only participant who signed off on her studying them was her ex, Henry, who is acting strange, like he has no clue who she is。 I enjoyed this book; I thought Stella and Meet Me at Christmas is a joyous novel about a second-chance relationship between Stella and her ex, Henry。 After losing her father, Stella returns from Europe to the small town she used to call home, where her work allows her to continue writing her academic articles on the brain and memory。 While working, Stella finds that the only participant who signed off on her studying them was her ex, Henry, who is acting strange, like he has no clue who she is。 I enjoyed this book; I thought Stella and Henry's relationship developed organically, considering their situation。 The miscommunication trope usually annoys me due to the nature of the lack of communication。 Still, I felt the author justified the reasons in this book well, even if I probably would've done something different。 This book touches on tough subjects like infertility, the death of a loved one, and TBIs。 I thought the author did a great job incorporating these touchy subjects in a cohesive and well-thought-out way。 。。。more

Stella has come home for Christmas, not expecting to find that her sister has run off to get married and Henry, a man she once loved, has returned to Leiper’s Fork, but he’s a different man from the one she once knew。I’m a sucker for a Christmas book, no matter the time of year。 I mean, who doesn’t want to read about Christmas parades, snow falling, and cookies and hot chocolate, even if it’s sunny outside? (It wasn’t, by the way)!

I really enjoyed this latest offering from Jenny Hale and immersed myself in the comings and goings in Leiper’s Fork。 Jenny writes as though she’s right there, in the scenes she’s describing and I imagined myself being there too, soaking up the wonderful Christmas spirit under the cosy smell of the pine trees at the heart of a fun-filled, people-packed place which is actually called Christmas。When Henry left Stella a message to say ‘Meet Me at Christmas’ I wanted to go along with her to get away from ‘Storm Babet’ which ripped its way through the UK this week and to find out just what Henry and Stella got up to。I would definitely recommend that you buy this book for yourself or a friend, and buy it right now, even if it’s not Christmas!Thank you to Harpeth Road Press for the opportunity to read and review a copy of Meet Me at Christmas by Jenny Hale。 。。。more

This is a book set at Christmas mostly focused on a family dealing with grief, some long buried secrets, and the mystery of a found heirloom。 There are some Christmas feels but it's secondary to the story。Stella just annoyed me for most of the book。 I had issues with her ethics dealing with a conflict of interest with a patient。 I found her pretty selfish and not very empathetic to her mother who was dealing with her first Christmas without her husband。 I also roll my eyes at the promotion award This is a book set at Christmas mostly focused on a family dealing with grief, some long buried secrets, and the mystery of a found heirloom。 There are some Christmas feels but it's secondary to the story。Stella just annoyed me for most of the book。 I had issues with her ethics dealing with a conflict of interest with a patient。 I found her pretty selfish and not very empathetic to her mother who was dealing with her first Christmas without her husband。 I also roll my eyes at the promotion awarded at Christmas which will require immediate travel on December 26 trope。 The narrator is very good。 She also narrated The Magic of Sea Glass that I listened to earlier in the year。 Her male voices do tend to sound similar but in this book there are only two main male characters to keep track of。 Thank you to Dreamscape Select and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy of this audiobook。 。。。more

What will happen when Henry starts remembering small details of his past? Things get even more complicated when Stella’s mom confesses, she is in charge of the annual Christmas parade, a parade her father always organized and has not even started to plan it and now the parade falls in Stella’s hands。 How can Stella possibly manage everything in such a short amount of time?This holiday novel by Jenny Hale is absolutely wonderful。 The mix of characters, the topics of losing a loved one, a brain injury and a complicated past, all weave together into a sweet second chance romance。 Right from the beginning I fell in love with Stella and Henry and could not put this book down。 I enjoyed the depth of the characters, the story line and of course the beauty of the Christmas season。 I am so thankful to Harpeth Road Press and the author Jenny Hale for my advanced copy which I read and reviewed voluntarily。 A wonderful novel to curl up with this winter。 。。。more

No other author that I have read has ever chosen this field for their character。 It was one of the main aspects that hooked me into the storyline。 I would love to learn how Jenny came up with the inspiration for that particular storyline。 Jenny’s tackles many very important issues and topics in Meet Me At Christmas。 With Meet Me At Christmas we were blessed to meet so many characters with multiple storylines all wrapped into one book!

Thank you to Netgalley, Dreamscape Select, Harpeth Road Press, and Jenny Hale for giving me an ARC copy to review。 The opinions are my own。I was excited by this book because I enjoy hallmark-style stories: the girl with a big job returns to a small town for Christmas and reunites with her high school love。 But I could not forgive that the main issue has such an easy and obvious solution。
