Anna recently returned to her hometown of Blue Moon Bay following her father’s death. She has felt rather out of step, since returning home. Her family has made the difficult decision to sell their family’s struggling food mart to a new arrival in town who has purchased numerous struggling businesses.

Peter moved to Blue Moon Bay following his father’s death. He decided to move somewhere with a slower pace. His late father was very successful, but Peter believed that stress led to his early death. Peter wants to be successful himself, but values happiness and helping others above stress.

Can a woman who values traditions and fears change find happiness with a man bringing change to her beloved hometown?

Like all of Susan Hatler’s stories,A Kiss for Santa is short, yet incredibly sweet! This will be sure to add Christmas cheer to readers’ lives!

A Kiss For Santa - book 8 in the series "Kissed by the Bay". Are you looking for a short read for Christmas in July ? If so this may be the right book for it. I read it in just a few hours . It is a light read with only 108 pages . There is no sex involved even though it is a love story. Only a few kisses .

It can also be read as a standalone and you not be lost. This is my first book by this author and was a very , very short read. Maybe had the book been longer and there been better character development the story would have been better. I failed to connect to any of the characters who live there. The chemistry between the main two characters just was not there either. Everything just felt rushed and flat.
I did however love the cute little seaside town. The legend of the kiss is also a great touch to the book. I will try some of the authors other books to see if i like them better. This would make a better read for a middle school kid than an adult. Sorry but this was barley a 3 star read for me.

I loved this book. Is a very sweet story between a woman that wants to preserve everything she can from the shop of his father, but doesn’t know how to explain that to the man that she is starting to care about, specially since she keeps it hidden from him and doesn’t want him to think that she is deceiving him or seducing him so he doesn’t make the changes. I like that is very sweet love and it wasn’t kinda force, it just kinda that went from casual/flirty to this is love? And then to maybe it is love. Is awesome and I will be definitely checking the previous books too.

Edited in the Amazon review to avoid possible spoilers.

This review will soon be posted in goodreads and Amazon.
