Review: Loving You at Christmas by Kristin Wallace

Widowed stage actress, Annaliese Matheson is convinced she’ll never love again. This Christmas will become the opening act for her holiday happily ever after.

Annaliese Matheson once had the perfect life, with a successful career on Broadway and a loving husband who was her greatest champion. Then her husband died. Devastated, she left the stage behind and only returned when her best friend, Grayson Kendall, asked her to perform at The Paradise Dinner Theatre in tiny Shellwater Key, Florida.

Annaliese is convinced she’ll never love again, but when she steps in to direct to Middle School Christmas Show, nothing will ever be the same. A man unlike any she’s known awakens her buried heart, giving her a second chance at forever with the last person she would have expected. It will take a miracle for Annaliese to let someone else in and embrace happiness again...but then it is Christmas.

Kristine's Thoughts:

Loving You At Christmas is #3.5 in the Shellwater Key series but it can be read as a stand alone. There was a lot of name dropping in this novella that would probably make more sense if you were familiar with the series.

This novella followed the typical formula for a contemporary romance but on warped speed because it was so short. It felt a little too insta love but most romances that are packed into so few pages are. Set during the Christmas season, it wasn't hard to get behind the characters and wish for a happily ever after. This story succeeded in giving me exactly what I was in the mood for. A quick and easy Story set during the holiday season that I could get through without  a huge time commitment.
