Nicole's Book Musings
I'm a sucker for a good holiday romance book and this one fit that perfectly. I'm a Christmas nut just ask my friends and family so through the whole book I kept thinking I would love to live in Yuletide. I would fit in so perfectly. This story was great. My heart felt for Rachel. That was one thing that I didn't care for the town how the people had a grudge against Rachel and her mother. Those snobby people I could do without. I'm glad Rachel had Gavin in her corner. After learning the history between the two I was rooting for them the whole way. If anyone deserves a HEA it's definitely Rachel.

I truly enjoyed A Chance this Christmas by Joanne Rock, the third book in her Road to Romance series. When Rachel left her hometown the timing couldn’t have been worse. Her dad fled after embezzling money from the town, her ex-boyfriend hires a skywriter to propose to her, and she is caught kissing ex-boyfriend’s best friend Gavin. It was a relief for Rachel to reach design school and leave her troubles behind. Gavin attended a nearby prep school training to become a world class snowboarder. He enjoyed getting to know the teens in the town and interacting with them. After college and winning Olympic medals he returned to the town that never forgot Christmas, bought the house next door to Rachel’s mom and never forgot that kiss he shared with Rachel. When Rachel returns to Yuletide for the wedding of her best friend to her ex-boyfriend she hopes that the town will forgive her and to make amends with said ex-boyfriend. The chemistry and attraction Gavin and Rachel once shared is still there if not intensified. The more time these two spend together makes Rachel wonder if she can leave her dreams of NYC and give Gavin a second chance to explore the attraction and possible love they still share. I really enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting this book down, reading it in one day. Ms. Rock drew me in and did not let go until I read the last page. I definitely recommend this book to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
