Home Sweet Christmas: A Novel (Wishing Tree)
"The perfect holiday confection."-Booklist
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery comes a witty and heartfelt story of two friends who unexpectedly find the person-and the place in which-they belong this Christmas.
With twinkling humor and heartfelt Christmas spirit, two friends find love in a town called Wishing Tree…
Until Camryn Neff can return to her "real" life in Chicago, she's in Wishing Tree to care for her twin sisters. She's not looking for forever love, not here. But handsome hotelier Jake Crane is a temptation she can't resist, so she suggests they pair up for the season. No golden rings, no broken hearts. At his side, she sees her hometown through Christmas-colored eyes. The cheer is cheerier, the joy more joyful. She thought she had put her future on hold…but maybe her real life was here all along, waiting for her to come home.
New in town, River Best is charmed by Wishing Tree's homespun traditions and warmhearted people. When she's crowned Snow Queen, she's honored but wary. Dylan Tucker, her king, seems like the stuff of sugarplum dreams, but she can't shake the feeling that he's hiding something big. As they perform their "royal" duties-tasting cookies, lighting trees-Dylan's good humor and melty kisses draw her to the brink of love. But she can't let herself fall until she uncovers his secret, even if her lack of faith means losing him forever.

Home Sweet Christmas is the second book in this Christmas series that takes place in Wishing Tree. Another great book by a wonderful author. Susan writes the complete story and you feel like this is happening in real life. Thank you Susan for another great read.

A wonderful Christmas story about family friends and love. Jake and his best friend Dylan are subject to Jakes Mom, Hellen, wanting them both to find wives so she can be a Grandma. The results of this bring both hilarity and a bit of touching sentiment. I loved Wishing Tree, the residents are delightful. The town has many customs that I truly enjoyed. The characters are so nice. Don't miss this one, it's perfect ❤️

Could she believe what she was hearing? She was a candidate in the Project Get Jake a Bride. No way was she into it. Jake’s Mother was just delusional. She was not going to marry a man she did not know. She drove to the hotel and told him what was going on and that she was not interested. Read this story to find out what happens. A great story and is hard to put n.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit back to Wishing Tree! It is such a happy place. Camryn’s and River’s stories truly pull on the heartstrings. Jake and Dylan are well-established, good men who do not want anybody meddling in their lives. However, the holiday season is the perfect time for some meddling! I really liked how Camryn and Jake’s relationship start and builds. The writing of that story was so good! River and Dylan’s story was equally engaging although felt a little rushed to fit in the book. I would have liked River and Dylan to have more pages in the book. It is a great holiday story and Susan never disappoints in happy endings!
