This book is all the gooey Christmas magic of a Hallmark， with the added bonus of well developed three dimensional characters and deep emotional depth。I loved Anneka Walker’s metaphors and the way she wrote their flirty banter。 This story hits all the right spots！

Adorable！Oh my gosh！ I loved this book so much！ It was such a fun Christmas read， I loved every second！Brie and Rockwell have a past， one in which Brie got her heart broken。 Now， Rockwell is back in town for a little while and these two are getting a second chance at love！ Brie was such a sweetheart and Rockwell was such a great guy。 It just took a little bit of Kismet and Christmas spirit for them to rekindle what once was！！

I love Christmas books！ In Merry Kismet， Anneka Walker delivers the perfect length， romantic story with all the Christmas vibes & a touch of Christmas magic。 It’s a sweet， second chance romance that was kismet or fate & I loved every minute of it！Brie’s a darling first grade teacher who’s not looking forward to the holidays， especially with her upcoming family party where she’ll go alone， again。 She’s never gotten over her high school boyfriend who left her heartbroken seven years ago。 While sho I love Christmas books！ In Merry Kismet， Anneka Walker delivers the perfect length， romantic story with all the Christmas vibes & a touch of Christmas magic。 It’s a sweet， second chance romance that was kismet or fate & I loved every minute of it！Brie’s a darling first grade teacher who’s not looking forward to the holidays， especially with her upcoming family party where she’ll go alone， again。 She’s never gotten over her high school boyfriend who left her heartbroken seven years ago。 While shopping， she meets a clerk who looks a lot like Mrs。 Claus who gives her a mysterious notebook with Kismet printed on it & tells her to write her biggest Christmas wishes in it。 Brie gives it a try & writes down several wishes all involving her ex-boyfriend Rockwell。 Imagine her surprise when he knocks on her door a few minutes later。Rockwell left Bearwood， ID as soon as he could after his parents’ divorce。 Now a jaded business man， he returns to his hometown to help out a friend。 He just happens to be staying in the duplex right next to Brie。 Seeing her again brings back all the old feelings， but he’s just there to do a job & convince his mom to move back to LA with him。 Brie & her Christmas wishes get under his skin though。 Will this lovable grump take a second chance at love？This book had all the Christmas feels！ I enjoyed all the fun activities like making sugar cookies & stringing popcorn， watching Christmas in Connecticut， & the family party。 There were hilarious moments with a mischievous cat， arm wrestling， & meddling friends/family。 I loved Brie’s & Rockwell’s grumpy/sunshine relationship & watching Rocky lose his jaded outlook on love。 They’re a perfect compliment & support for one another。 Along with the cute， swoony moments， I enjoyed their realistic， heartfelt conversations about dreams & fears。 You’ll definitely want to add this to your Christmas list！ Though it’s part of the Gift-Wrapped Romance series， each book is meant to be read as a standalone。 I received an advanced complimentary copy from the author。 All opinions are my own and voluntarily provided。 。。。more

There’s something so magical about the Christmas season where anything can happen。 A chance encounter at the grocery store with a Mrs。 Cashier Claus leaves Brie with a Merry Kismet journal and when she writes the Christmas wish list of her heart on its pages， enchanted things begin to happen， beginning with her one true love appearing on her doorstep just moments later。Anneka Walker does such a brilliant job of incorporating romance， humor and swoon。 There were so many moments that made me laugh There’s something so magical about the Christmas season where anything can happen。 A chance encounter at the grocery store with a Mrs。 Cashier Claus leaves Brie with a Merry Kismet journal and when she writes the Christmas wish list of her heart on its pages， enchanted things begin to happen， beginning with her one true love appearing on her doorstep just moments later。Anneka Walker does such a brilliant job of incorporating romance， humor and swoon。 There were so many moments that made me laugh out loud and my heart was dancing。 But what really captivated me was the character growth and the interactions and flirtations between Rockwell and Brie。 I swooned hard for this second chance romance and the flutters just kept coming with every page turn。 If you love small town traditions， Christmas magic and snow， second chances， family reconnections， crazy cats， toe-curling mistletoe kisses， picnic dinners on blankets， and wish lists， this is the story for you！Content: mild romance*I received a complimentary copy。 All thoughts and opinions are my own and were voluntarily given。* 。。。more

Title: Merry Kismet Introduction In a world filled with unpredictable twists and turns， the concept of "kismet" or fate often carries a mystique and allure that captures our imaginations。 While the unpredictable nature of life can sometimes be daunting， it's also what makes every day a new adventure。 "Merry Kismet" is a celebration of the unexpected and a reminder that even when things don't go according to plan， there is joy to be found in the unexpected。 Embracing the Unpredictable Life is a journey filled with countless surprises， both good and bad。 These unexpected twists and turns are what make our stories unique。 Sometimes， it's easy to get caught up in the idea that everything must go exactly as planned for us to be happy。 But what if we took a step back and embraced the unexpected with open arms？ Consider all the moments in your life that have taken an unexpected turn。 Maybe you met your best friend in the most unlikely of places or stumbled upon a hidden talent that would become your passion。 Embracing the unpredictable can lead to some of life's most cherished memories。 The Joy of Serendipity Serendipity， the happy accident， often leads to some of life's most delightful moments。 It's the chance meeting with someone who becomes an important part of your life or the discovery of a beautiful place you never knew existed。 These moments of serendipity are like little gifts from the universe， reminding us that the world is full of wonder。 Remember the last time you stumbled upon something unexpectedly beautiful or found yourself in the right place at the right time？ Those moments are the essence of "Merry Kismet。" When we let go of our expectations and embrace the serendipitous， we open ourselves to the potential for boundless joy。 Turning Setbacks into Opportunities Life doesn't always go as planned， and sometimes， it can be incredibly challenging。 But even in moments of disappointment or heartache， there is potential for growth and transformation。 The setbacks we face can lead to unexpected opportunities and experiences。 Think about a time when you faced a major setback in your life。 It might have been a job loss， the end of a relationship， or a personal failure。 While these moments are undoubtedly tough， they can also be turning points that lead to something better than you ever imagined。 It's during these challenging times that "Merry Kismet" can shine the brightest， guiding us towards a brighter future。 Embracing the Present "Merry Kismet" is a call to embrace the present moment。 We often get so caught up in planning for the future or dwelling on the past that we forget to fully appreciate the beauty of the now。 The present moment is where life is happening， and when we pay attention， we can find joy in the most unexpected places。 Take a moment to look around and appreciate the beauty in the mundane。 A simple walk in the park， a warm cup of tea， or a conversation with a loved one can all become moments of "Merry Kismet" when we fully immerse ourselves in the experience。 Conclusion Life is a journey filled with unpredictable twists and turns， but it's in these unexpected moments that we often find the most joy and fulfillment。 "Merry Kismet" is a reminder that there is beauty in the unexpected， that serendipity can lead to some of life's most delightful moments， and that setbacks can be opportunities in disguise。 By embracing the present and letting go of rigid expectations， we can find happiness in the ever-unfolding story of our lives。 So， let's celebrate "Merry Kismet" and make the most of every unpredictable， beautiful moment that comes our way。
