THE TROUBLE WITH CHRISTMAS by Amy Andrews 9/25/19
This is the first book I’ve read written by Amy Andrews. Thank you to Bookish First, the author and publisher for the ARC. All they want is an honest review which I am happy to give.
I really enjoyed this book. I love stories at Christmastime and I LOVE love-stories with snow/blizzards! This book has both.
How much can a little white lie hurt or affect your life? Suzanne St Michelle finds out when, to avoid spending Christmas with her parents, she invents a Christmas-loving rancher boyfriend... based on a neighbor near her. As things turn out, her parents (who are having marital problems) decide to go to Suzanne's for Christmas. Now, Suzanne must come up with a boyfriend. Joshua Grady is a NON-Christmas- loving rancher. He also is not Suzanne's boyfriend. But, he agrees to go along with the "little white lie" to help her out. He's person #2 who is affected by the little "white lie".
The characters seem real and they are very likable. They have some very stressful situations. But, it's a "warm-fuzzy" story. The story is fairly predictable as to what's going to happen, but it is written in such an interesting way that it becomes a page-turner.
The author uses the "f" word a little more than I like. It's appropriate in some places but seems to be added more than needed. There are a couple of love scenes that are pretty explicit. It isn't x-rated by any means, but is for mature readers.
I strongly like and recommend this book. It's great to read any time of the year, but with the Christmas season not far off, it's a perfect read for now. I will definitely read more of Amy Andrews’ books.
