What if true love is only a text away? 

Mila Maxwell is happy with her life in New York City. Her boyfriend Zane is perfect for her – and yes perfect means he offers her the stability she’s always wanted. Zane’s also not threatened by the endless text thread she keeps with her best friend, Ben Kendrick. Why should he be? They’re friends, nothing more. 

Christmas is coming – a holiday she’d much rather skip – and Mila’s the maid-of-honor for her college roommate’s December wedding. When disaster strikes the wedding coordinator, Mila rushes to Colorado to save Angie’s big day and plunges headfirst into all the marital falalala. 

As Mila works the details for Angie and Charles’ wedding, Ben steps up to help.  After all, he’s the best man and someone in his life should have a happily ever after. This may be Ben’s last chance to convince Mila that they were meant for more than long texts and short video chats. 

Mila must confront her fears about love and choose: Zane, who offers her the security she’s always longed for, or Ben, who has never given up on her. What if her true love has always been one text away?

Christmas should be a time of wonder and celebration, but the obstacles each faces seem insurmountable. Even, at times, life-threatening. 

Perhaps they will find what they are seeking during this season of miracles and hope. Or maybe, with God’s help, they will discover that the longing of their hearts takes them to places—and people—they didn’t even know they’d been searching for.  

I’ll Be Home is a collection of four stories of faith, hope, love, (and trains) that will warm your heart, encourage your soul, and draw you home this Christmas.

Book Review of 'Maid at Christmas' by Bell Renshaw

Happy Friday Bookworms!

I am so excited that you're here with me today!  I am sharing my thoughts on a novel that is releasing October 15th and is currently on preorder and I can't wait to see what you think.  Do you wait until the official holiday season to read Christmas stories, or do you like them any time of the year?  I personally try to reserve my holiday reads for the season but there are some that I simply can't wait.

I hope you enjoy my thoughts on this series-starting Christmas Holiday Romance and have a wonderful weekend!

Welcome to the Reviewer Tour for Maid at Christmas by Bell Renshaw, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: Maid at Christmas
Series: Lockwood Lodge #1
Author: Bell Renshaw
Publisher: Pine Mountain Publishing
Release Date: October 15, 2024
Genre: Christmas Holiday Romance

Maid in Manhattan meets Safe Haven in this Hallmark Christmas-style series starter, Maid at Christmas, featuring sweet romance and a cozy holiday atmosphere with just a touch of tension.

She wants a fresh start. He's looking for purpose. Can Christmas at the Lockwood Lodge show them the future is brighter than the past?

When Sonora Jackson searches for a way out of New Orleans—and away from her ex-fiancé—she ends up exchanging beignets for a broom when she accepts a position in housekeeping at the Lockwood Lodge. The picturesque mountains of Vermont, and the luxury of the lodge at Christmastime, is exactly what she needs, but she didn’t bargain for the handsome, bookish man she meets there.

Graham Hastings needs a vacation more than he needs the worry over selling his company, but the two come hand in hand as he arrives in Vermont for an exclusive retreat for others just like him: billionaires. Focused on relaxing and recovering from yet another failed relationship, he’s not ready for the near-instant attraction he feels for Sonora. At least she’s like him—rich—and not likely to date him for his money.

Set against a snow-drenched backdrop of Vermont mountains and the quaint small town of Middlebrook with its own set of quirky characters, love blooms even as the truth separates. Can Sonora admit her status as a low-income maid and explain why she lied? Will Graham see past her profession to the heart of her feelings for him? And will he be able to keep her safe when her past comes calling?

Maid at Christmas is the first book in the Lockwood Lodge sweet romance series. This small-town holiday romance features tropes like billionaire romance, age gap, and he falls first. There is a slight suspense thread included in this book, but it does not overshadow the cozy Christmas setting or aspect of sweet romance.

Is it too late to save Christmas?

Holly’s Christmas plans are ruined. Her sun-soaked Caribbean vacation has to wait. Instead, she's forced to spend the holidays in her small, Pennsylvania hometown...something she’s carefully avoided for years.

Things go from bad to worse when she’s tasked with the last-minute chore of finding a fill-in Santa for the community’s Christmas Eve celebration. Short on time and patience, she's beyond overwhelmed. Her list of things that need to get done is growing longer.

Matt is surprised when he runs into Holly the week before Christmas. She doesn’t usually spend the holidays in Hope Valley—not that he’s complaining. He’s had a crush on her since they were teenagers. One look, and the feelings rush back at him, full-force.

Can he spread a little holiday cheer and magic, all while getting Holly to finally return his feelings? Or will Holly realize she was right to stay away from her small hometown, and plan her next Caribbean Christmas vacation the first chance she gets?
