Review: Christmas at Silver Falls By Jenny Hale

Author Jenny Hale




When I graduated college, one of my friends said, "Look out for this one; she's going to be an author one day." Despite being an avid reader and a natural storyteller, it wasn't until that very moment that the idea of writing novels occurred to me.


Sometimes our friends can see the things that we can't.



While I didn't start straight away, that comment sowed a seed and several years, two children, and hundreds of thousands of words later, I completed a novel that I felt was worthy of publication. The result was Coming Home for Christmas, a heart-warming story about the magic of love at Christmas, and 2017 TV movie on The Hallmark Channel. 



The rest is history. 

When I'm not writing, I'm a mother of two boys and a wife to a very supportive husband.




 Description:

A beautiful festive romance, all about the joy of Christmas with family, second chances, and finding love under the falling snow. This enchanting and uplifting read will have you both laughing and crying while it warms your heart.

White Oaks Inn has always been at the heart of Christmas celebrations for Scarlett Bailey and her family. Her adored gran has owned the rambling, old-fashioned hotel, filled with the scent of cinnamon and chocolate, since Scarlett was a little girl. But now her gran’s home is under threat. And it looks like it could be the Baileys’ last Christmas together there…

Over the holiday season, amidst much-loved festive traditions of baking cookies and decorating the tree, Scarlett throws herself into saving the hotel. When she hears that Charlie Bryant, a handsome, successful property developer, is spending December in Silver Falls, Scarlett is hopeful he might be the answer to their problems.

When they meet, sparks fly between impulsive Scarlett and business-like Charlie – as they both have very different ideas for the future of White Oaks. Scarlett is determined to show him how much White Oaks Inn means to her family and the guests who return there every year and, as they spend more time together, she begins to realize there is more to Charlie than his serious appearance…

But Charlie is struggling with a secret from his own past. Will he be able to face it, or will it stop him from truly opening up and getting close to anyone? And can Scarlett share the true meaning of Christmas with him and save her gran’s beloved hotel along the way?

Embrace the wonder of Christmas in this gorgeous novel about living for the moment and finding love when you least expect it. Christmas at Silver Falls is the perfect festive indulgence for fans of Debbie Macomber, Susan Mallery and Sheila Roberts.




Christmas at Silver Falls 
By Jenny Hale 
Review by Heidi Lynn Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Jenny Hale, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Christmas at Silver Falls is a heartwarming feel-good Christmas romance by Jenny Hale. Even before you open this book you can’t but help fall in love with the cover. It looks like a beautiful picturesque Christmas card with the title planted in the middle of the scenery. The graphic artist did an amazing job and needs to be commended.

Jenny Hale is a very talented and gifted writer. I was amazed by all the detailed descriptions she put into this book. She made you feel like you were right there with the characters. After reading about Silver Falls it would definitely be a place where I would want to visit. However, not in the winter time.

One of my favorite characters in the book was Heidi (yes, I know my name is Heidi. Yes, I did smile when I saw that name in print). I loved how she wanted to go to med school. But the cute part when she was younger, she would practice on her father. That made me smile.

Another part of the story that made me tear up was when Gran was showing Heidi how to bake an Apple Pie. I never got that experience with my Gram. Reading about Gram and her relationships with her family made me miss mine.

Christmas at Silver Falls was all about family and their traditions.

Jenny had a lot of comical parts of the book that I laughed hard at. However, there were some serious moments as well.

This book has a little bit of something for everyone in it. I guarantee you at the end of the book you will be craving homemade Christmas cookies just like the ones Gran made. The Chocolate Peanut Butter ones were calling my name.
