Christmas in Silverwood by Dorothy Dreyer

 

Christmas in Silverwood

Published by: Rosewind Books
Publication date: November 9th 2021
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Holly St. Ives is in a rut. Once a celebrated artist making waves in New York City, she finds herself uninspired and unmotivated. Her recent break-up is the last push she needs to spend Christmas alone in the small mountain cabin her father left her in his will—a family getaway she hasn’t visited in years.

After a near accident in Silverwood, she meets Nick, whom she learns is responsible for everything in the small town running like clockwork—including the upcoming Christmas festival and the town’s entry in the state-wide tree decorating contest. Holly doesn’t have time for Nick’s beguiling charm or mouth-watering holiday cupcakes, but after meeting his father, she discovers there’s more to the town’s obsession with the contest than meets the eye.

Touched by the prospect that the whole town is willing to pitch in for a good cause, Holly can feel her Christmas spirit making a comeback as Nick—and his team of Alaskan Malamutes—works his way into her heart to show her the meaning of Christmas again.

My review:

This was a short but cute festive romance that takes place in the small town of Silverwood.  It was the perfect book to snuggle into a blanket and read on a chilly day.  The characters were charming, and the Alaskan Malamutes were adorable.  I loved the names the author chose for the main characters; it went along with the festive spirit of the book. 

Holly St. Ives's career as a famous artist in New York has been on the downslide.  She goes to Silverwood where she had many happy Christmas memories from childhood, hoping to find inspiration again.  She feels her holiday spirit grow as she sees the community work so hard to win the tree decorating contest to help one of their own.

Nick Mason has taken up all the responsibilities for the town's Christmas festival.  He is determined and motivated for the town to win the state-wide Christmas tree decorating contest.  

This book would make a perfect Hallmark movie.  Nick and Holly’s cute-meet was funny and sweet.  They were such a perfect couple and I loved seeing Holly find herself.  This was a fun and quick read and I really enjoyed it.

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