My Thoughts on Christmas at Sugar Plum Manor

I’m a huge fan of Roseanna M White and her books.  I’ve read all of them.  And I’m super lucky to get advanced copies to review.  This book was so fun.  It’s not super long.  Reads really fast.  And will hit you in all the feels.  

There is a bit of tension in this book.  But I wouldn’t say it has any suspense or mystery really.  Though it does have conflict, resolution, and romance.  Plus lots of Christmas.  And yummy treats.  And snow.  Oh, and of course the remaking of the story of the Nutcracker!

I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I read what the book was going to be about.  But once I got started on the novel I couldn’t put it down.  I fell in love with the characters.  None of them have had the perfect life.  Several have lost loved ones.  Many are searching for true love.  They stand up for justice.  And sometimes they make the wrong decisions and need help along the way.

This was incredibly well written. 

The characters reach out and won’t let you go.  I really liked Cyril as a character.  He had a hard life in his formative years.  And he may have misunderstood some things from his time with the family before which led to him staying away.  

Mariah is a wonderful character as well.  She has so much joy and excitement with life.  I love her character and her view on life.  I also have to giggle because I have a daughter named Mariah Joy and this Mariah character 100% made me think of Joy which was fun to find that connection. 

There is a special spot in my heart for Louise as well.  She’s had pain.  She’s had suffering.  And maybe she grew up a little too fast.  She’s beautiful on the outside but has to learn to be beautiful on the inside as well.  

I can’t say enough good about this sweet novella.  It filled a nice spot while I wait for book three of the Imposters series as well.  If you’ve read them you know why that wait is so hard!  Grab a copy today and let me know what you think of this sweet romance novel.
