About the Book

Everyone’s getting ready for Christmas in Icicle Falls, especially on Candy Cane Lane, where holiday decorating is
taken very seriously. Tilda Morrison, town cop, is looking forward to
celebrating Christmas in her first house…until she discovers that she’s expected
to “keep up” with the neighbors, including Maddy Donaldson, the inspiration
behind the whole extravaganza. But this year, someone’s destroying Maddie’s
precious candy canes! Thank
goodness for the cop in their neighborhood.
Tilda already has her hands full trying to sort out her love life and
fix up her fixer-upper. Oh, and won’t it be fun to have the family over for
Christmas dinner? Not really… Then there’s her neighbor, Ivy Bohn. As a newly
single mom, Ivy can sum up the holiday in two words: Bah, humbug. But she’s
determined to give her kids a perfect Christmas.
Despite family disasters, irritating ex-husbands and kitchen
catastrophes, these three women are going to find out that Christmas really is
the most wonderful time of the year!
The
eighth book of Sheila Roberts’ Life in Icicle Falls, Christmas on Candy Cane
Lane offers a heartwarming read for series’ long-time fans and newcomers
alike. This book focuses on three women in Icicle Falls during the hectic
holiday season. As each figures out complications of love, neighbors, and
holiday spirit, I found myself alternating between smiling, groaning, and
wanting to knock some sense into the characters (like I did in my previous trip
to Icicle Falls, The Tea Shop on Lavender Lane) and enjoyed every bit of
it. All in all, Christmas on Candy Cane Lane tells a delightful story
for the upcoming holiday season, and readers of contemporary romance will not
want to miss this return to Icicle Falls.
Thanks to Pump Up Your Book, I received a copy of Christmas
on Candy Cane Lane and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was
not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed
are my own.
