HOPE AT CHRISTMAS by Nancy Naigle is a lovely and sweet romance that takes place in a small town over the holidays. The story is centered around Sydney a single mother who has recently moved from Atlanta so that she can escape her controlling ex-husband. When her grandparents died years ago, they left her their farmhouse. This is the only place she has left for her and her daughter to live. Sydney is now back in a place where she used to spend her summers as a child with her grandparents all while trying to get back on her feet and start over with her ten-year-old child.

Kevin is the high school baseball coach and history teacher at the local high school. His wife left him with their child years ago with no explanation as to why she left. Naigle has written a story that is heartbreaking and romantic with lots of drama and heartache. The characters are interesting with uniquely different pasts. They share a combination of heartache and chemistry towards each other. Together they face many obstacles all while trying to make things as normal as possible for their children. While the setting is the picture-perfect place for a lovely holiday romance that is sure to lift your spirits this holiday season. I do feel that this theme and storyline gets used a lot around the Christmas season. I do love a good Christmas romance and did enjoy reading this one. I wish that it was a little less predictable. Overall, I did find HOPE AT CHRISTMAS to be a lovely read that is perfect for anyone who loves a good Christmas romance with a happy ending.
