A Mommy for Christmas


A Mommy for Christmas (Christmas Town #2)
by Ginny Baird


What a delightful read to put one in the Christmas mood. The books title sure fits this story it is all about one little lonely little girl and her lonely father who have come to Christmas town to be in his sister’s wedding and watch over her home why she is away on her honeymoon.  Christmas town is an amazing town from the streets to the shops and some of the people have Christmas names. Just like all little towns everyone is in every ones business as they play match marker. The story is a mixture of secrets, love, joy, happiness as a town works to bring one of their own home for good. Sandy Claus is an unusual woman full of mystery and a few secrets as she pulls Ben and his daughter into her magical world.

 This story worked for me from the delightful characters to the wonderful events and the outstanding shops. You have to wonder what is up with those cookies they have a mystery of their own. Could the legend be true or is it all a lot of wishful thinking to make people show their true feelings?

Ben had it all a wonderful life, wonderful wife and a delightful family he just adored until the day it all came to an end leaving him lonely with just a small child to take care of. His family now broken with his love of a lifetime gone he is left to raise their little girl. He is a wonderful father always putting her first giving her the love and time she needs. Coming to Christmas town has shown him the things he is missing. It also makes Lily make a Christmas wish that didn’t come true last year.

With Christmas so near and two people pulled together as the attraction takes over they can hardly keep their hands to their selves. Will a little girl fondest wish come true or will a secret tear down a couple everyone wants together?

The scenes are very vivid I could picture the snow globe in my mind with the little reindeer at play with snow falling around them.  What a wonderful idea with the sled that she holds so dear to her heart. I loved the princess games and the story behind it. The characters were a delight as well as the wonderful supporting ones. Each adds so much to the story giving you a wonderful read. I did think some parts moved a little fast and I would have liked to have had a little more added to the ending. It really was a delightful story that had me smiling and at times laughing. This is really what the true meaning of Christmas is all about time for each other, love, sharing and giving of one’s heart. There are a few twists that will make you raise an eyebrow holding your breath to see what the outcome is going to be.  I loved the plot and theme it really was a delightful read. It truly warms your heart with characters that feel so real you could almost reach out and touch them. I can’t wait to read the next in this series and revisit with people I have come to love.

A MOMMY FOR CHRISTMAS
(Christmas Town, Book 2)

Northern Virginia attorney Ben Winchester has spent the past four years being the best single dad he could be to his eight-year-old daughter Lily. Yet, last Christmas, he was unable to give her the one thing she asked for: a mommy. Since his late-wife's death, Ben has scarcely dated at all. He's also had a hard time with the holidays. When Ben and Lily venture to Christmas Town, Tennessee for Ben's sister's December wedding, they discover a village infused with holiday joy. Upbeat Sandy Claus runs the Snow Globe Gallery...loves sleigh bells, winter and kids. She has a special way about her, and is the most caring and intuitive person Ben has ever met. When Ben finds himself falling for the beautiful blonde with big blue eyes, she hesitates about becoming involved due to some unusual family history. Despite complications that ensue, will true love prevail with Ben making his--and Lily's--fondest Christmas wishes come true?
