Book Review - Be My Heartwarming Valentine

Be My Heartwarming Valentine
February 2020

Christmas Town to the rescue! 
An abnormally cold and snowy winter wreaked havoc in Christmas Town. Pipes froze, snowy roofs caved in, and even the famed gazebo in the town square was blown over! But the hardest hit was the historic town library, where pipes burst – flooding the main floor and destroying all the books and computers. While insurance helps, it won’t cover everything. 

Christmas Town’s solution? 
Calling all bachelors! The Knotty Elves decide a Valentine’s Day Bachelor Auction kills two birds with one stone – raising money to save the library while working their matchmaking magic. From a personal chef to the town’s snow plow operator, there’s one thing all these handsome, homespun heroes have in common: they’re about to find love, Christmas Town style.

Between The Pages 
This is such a wonderful set of stories about love, romance, and second chances. I enjoyed each and every story in this book set. To review each one individually would take some time, so I’ll highlight my favourite parts, which are included in all stories. The theme is perfect – a bachelor auction for not the bachelors, but for their professional services, such as a handyman who builds furniture, an electrician, a chef, a snowplow operator and jack-of-all-trades, an accountant, a dinner and dancing date, another handyman, and ski lessons. Each story has an emotional journey for the main characters that captures the attention. Even though the stories are short, the characters are strong and well developed, as are the story lines. There’s humour and fun, and lots of enjoyable secondary characters such as the Knotty Elves. You’ll find sexy apples, one hundred smackerels, adorable children, and plenty of peppermint pie. If I had to choose a favourite story, which is hard because I thoroughly enjoyed each one, I would lean slightly toward the bachelor that arrived on stage with a baby in his arms…that bachelor would steal any woman’s heart. A must read collection!
