Review: The Christmas Promise

The Christmas Promise The Christmas Promise 
by Janice Carter
My rating: 4/5
Blurb:
The Christmas season…

Is perfect for new beginnings

After a tragedy seventeen years ago, author Ella Jacobs never wanted to come back to Lighthouse Cove. Not to the whispered rumors, the judgment or even to Ben Winters, the boy she loved. Now she’s returned in time for Christmas—and some much-needed closure. But old flames burn bright. Can Ella find her way back to Ben…or will the secrets of their past extinguish their love for good?
 

My Review:

This was a heartwarming second chance Christmas romance that was beautifully written.  It follows His Saving Grace and although I read it as a standalone, I feel like it would have been better if I would have read the previous book.  The characters were genuine, and their emotions touched my heart. 

Ella Jacobs returns to the small coastal town of Lighthouse Cove seventeen years after one youthful prank led to the loss of a teenager’s life, years of guilt, and lost friendships.  She never wanted to return but when Grace Winters, her childhood friend, asked her to come Ella thought she could get her some closure by returning.  Ben Winters had loved Ella and would always wonder what their life could have been if the truth had come out at the time of the tragedy.  Instead, all the secrets led to Ella being blamed by the town residents.

This was a very emotional book and my heart hurt for Ella.  It took a lot of courage for her to return and face the people who blamed her.  She finally had the chance to tell her side of the story and receive some closure.

I received an ARC and am willingly leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
