Book Review: Wrong Train to Paris
As you all know, I'm a big Jennifer Moore fan, so I was excited to see she had a book in the Romance on the Orient Express series called The Wrong Train to Paris. This is such a fun story!
Julia is traveling on the Orient Express without her father (but with a chaperone) and she's anxious to show her father that she's capable of doing things on her own. Whenever they travel together, they stop and get a certain cake and she decides to do that on her own---but ends up getting back on the wrong train! She's ended up in Provence and the only person for miles is a man she met briefly at a train station stop. Luc is so good-hearted and takes her to his aunt's home to wait for the next train---and that's when their bumpy journey to love begins. Maybe the wrong train has led to the right man!
I loved the lush descriptions of Provence and things that make that part of the world unique like the cheese. I loved all the references to the beautiful art of the period as well. But Ms. Moore shines in the slow burn romance and how tender the moments are between Luc and Julia. Luc is so sweet and his reactions to Julia's mistakes are endearing. Such a great hero in the understanding and kindness department! Julia tries so hard, but makes a lot of bad decisions. Poor Fleur! But her heart is in the right place. I loved that she was so relatable in her approach to fixing the things that have gone wrong. I also enjoyed the secondary characters of the aunt and neighbors and thought they really added a nice depth to the story. This one will definitely be going on my rainy day shelf. A sweet, tender read with a sigh-worthy ending.

Upon awakening, however, she realizes her plan went terribly awry: she boarded the wrong train and is now stranded alone in the French countryside of Provence.Now she must rely on the help of Luc Paquet, a young French farmer who offers her accommodations with his aunt while Julia awaits the next train to Paris in five days’ time.

Freebie Friday Christmas Anthology
In THE LAST CHRISTMAS, a sweet romance novella by Annette Lyon, Meredith only has to make it through the Christmas holiday pretending that she and her husband Eric aren’t on the verge of divorce. She doesn’t want to ruin the holiday for her two grown daughters and their boyfriends. But when Eric hurries home after weeks of living in a motel to unpack before their daughters arrive, he starts pressing Meredith with questions about why she filed for divorce. The last thing Meredith wants to do it give Eric a second chance, but it seems that Eric is not willing to let her go without trying to win her back.
In Julie Coulter Bellon’s captivating novella TRUTH OR DARE, after a year of recovery, wounded war veteran Jonah Harrison comes home for Christmas. No longer the outgoing high school track star, he just wants to be left alone, away from well-meaning friends and neighbors. But when a blizzard strands him with Cami Jackson—the girl who once knew him best—he can’t hide anything from her, no matter how much he wants to. Cami has a wounded heart of her own, though, and it might take a Christmas miracle for them to find the healing they both long for and the courage to reach for a chance at love.
In the charming novella HOLIDAY BUCKET LIST by Sarah M. Eden, Celeste Lagorio has officially given up on Christmas. A single mother, with her children grown and unable to return for the holiday, Celeste determines to take a break from everything. When her single neighbor and almost-best-friend, Mike Durham, discovers her non-plans, they discuss things they’ve always wanted to do, but never had time. Mike and Celeste put together a friendly competition of checking off the things on their bucket list, all the while drawing closer and discovering they have more in common than they thought.

Their first date, back in high school, had been an unmitigated disaster culminating with Pepto Bismol and the police. Still, Juliet would have gone out with Tag again the next day—and the next—had he asked. So now that he’s finally popping up in her in-box again, Juliet must decide whether to say yes to the date, even if it puts her at risk of another decade of carrying a torch for Tag McClintock. Will their second date be their last?

Movie Review: Lucy Shimmers & the Prince of Peace
This new Christmas movie, Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace, is one that will tug at all your emotions. Lucy Shimmers is five-years-old and had a dream about a sad man who Jesus wanted to help. When she suddenly falls ill, she meets that man in the hospital and the movie becomes her journey in how she helps Jesus help him.
I thought the little girl who played Lucy was the star of the show and stole all the scenes she was in. She was articulate and sweet and really made her character believable. The story is original, but it is tragic. Of course there is hope and inspiration among the tragedy, but for me, it's just too sad. If you watch the first fifteen minutes of the show you can guess what's going to happen at the end, so there is time to brace yourself and break out the Kleenex. However, there are still plenty of sweet and tender moments to enjoy in this Christmas movie with a message that will touch your heart.
