While I'm going to miss reading more about Icicle Falls and its residents, I think this was a fitting conclusion for the series. I like that the focus was on a few different situations, and that one of them was the seemingly perfect and pulled-together Muriel Sterling. Having her as one of the main characters gave an opportunity to include some of the pieces of advice that may help readers navigate their own challenges.

I like Sheila Roberts and have read most of what she has written. I had a hard time getting thru this book. It didn't have that spark that usually goes thru her books.

Christmas can be a joy and a trial at the same time.
     Muriel Sterling new book release contains advice on making your holiday enjoyable....but is finding following her own advice extremely hard.
     However several of her neighbors and friends have taken it to heart and are finding it to be making a  huge difference for them.
     Follow the folks in Icicle Falls as they struggle with it and find it really is the answer to a lovely holiday...and as she herself finds, it's not as easy to do as to say.
    HEAs all around this sweet tale. Great feel good read.
    I requested and received an ARC from NetGalley to my delight.

If you want a feel good book this upcoming holiday season that will make your heart melt, this is the one you want to get. There are a bunch of different story lines going on all at the same time in this novel and the author manages to tie them together perfectly by the end.

Even with so much going on, it is easy to keep what is happening straight because the characters are so varied. Each of them has an "Ugly Tree," situation that they must overcome in order to follow the helpful hints in a new book released by one of the members of the community. I loved the way the author used Cratchett as a name in the book and showed that even the most unlikely people can sometimes be redeemed with a bit of generosity.

There are a few different romances developing simultaneously in this novel and other friendships and family relationships building and being tested as well. This is the kind of novel where there is something for everyone. I thought this was a wonderful book and look forward to recommending it to others.

This review is based on a complimentary copy from the publisher, provided through Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

Christmas in Icicle Falls is the must have book for the Holiday season! Not only did I feel warmth when reading this book but I also felt inspired! I want an outlook on life like the heroine has in this one and I will work as hard as I can to be just as sweet, charming, and imaginative as she is. This is a delightful read, one that I would highly recommend for the holiday season!

A romance you will not want to end.  Great characters and plot keep this book fun and you wanting to turn the pages. This author knows how to write a great story.
