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?

About the Author

Writing has been a passion for Janice Carter since elementary school but her second career after teaching began with the publication of a Harlequin Intrigue, many years ago. Since then, she's been very lucky to be able to do what she enjoys most - writing about the connections between people, their families and the places where they live. And of course, love is always at the heart of those connections.

My Thoughts

A Christmas Promise by Janice Carter is part of the Heartwarming Harlequin line. This means that while it has romance, it is not overly implicated. It is a sweet romance. This book is the second in the series - however I was not lost at all. I was able to follow along. The author did a good job of making sure that all the history was recapped. In this book - we see main character Ella Jacobs return to the coastal town of Lighthouse Cove. She returns after 17 years after a tragedy chased her and her family out of town. Ella and her best friend were accused of having something to with a classmates drowning. Now she has returned and runs into Ben. He still harbors hurt and anger.

This book is a second chance. It's a book of redeeming friendships. The author has written some realistic characters. The description of the town is so real that you want to go visit it. I enjoyed this book.

I received a copy of this book through Prism Book Tours -- all thoughts are my own.
