Christmas Charms is an entertaining and well written romance. Great plot with believable characters. A good clean quick read. I received an arc from the publisher and this is my unbiased review.

Teri Wilson's 'Christmas Charms' was so much fun. It is a joy to be entertained, uplifted and touched by something so delightful. There is humor, love, family lessons, whimsy and faith. I just loved it and would give it more stars if I could. I hope to visit Owl Lake in the future.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

So, you're on a train and a lady who looks like Mrs. Santa Claus leaves you with a charm bracelet and then disappears. Not just any bracelet- a magic bracelet. Ashley, a frustrated jewelry designer working a sales clerk job in a jewelry store in New York City goes home for Christmas and "jingle jingle" things start happening. She runs into old heartthrob Aiden, a love she chose to leave for her career, and a beautiful Christmas romance has the chance to unfold. Also, loved Fruitcake the dog. If you love Hallmark movies, this book will delight you!

I acquired this book through Net Galley and have left an honest review.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Okay, I spent well into the night reading this one which is really saying something for me. I normally don't read at night but when I do, it means that the book is keeping me awake and refuses to be left alone until the morning. This was one of those rare gems.

Ashely has it all. A great New York City job working at a prestigious jewelry store, a hot-shot boyfriend, and a planned Christmas in Paris. She never would have expected a sudden break up to leave her whirling. There's only one thing to do. Go back to her hometown and spend Christmas with her parents. When a chance encounter with what in retrospect may have been Mrs.Claus, Ashley is gifted with a special charm bracelet that may or may not be magical. The charms are coming to pass one by one and the last one, a coveted diamond ring. And then there's Aiden, the man she left behind. For a person who doesn't believe in Christmas magic, it's starting to grow on her.

What can I say other than this book was magical. The perfect book to curl up with this winter season...or in my case, lay I bed at two in the morning to finish.

This book is suitable for everyone and I recommend everyone read it. Simple as that..

Teri Wilson brings us Ashley living life in New York City working at an exclusive jewelry store with her best friend and boyfriend working there as well. Maya hints that boyfriend Jeremy picked up an engagement ring and Ashley gets very excited when Jeremy takes her out to dinner with a special surprise thrown in before they head off to Paris for the holidays with his family. With the disappointing surprise, Ashley ends up taking the train home to Owl Lake. She meets Betty, admires her bracelet, and pours out her life story. Betty tells her to dream big. Ashley realizes that she must have fallen asleep when she hears the conductor speaking to the passengers of their final destination. She finds Betty's bracelet with a note asking her to wear it and have the Christmas of her dreams.

Teri Wilson brings us a story showing what could happen when Christmas wishes and dreams come true. Ashley comes home to Owl Lake finding all the familiar faces and places she left behind all those years ago when she wanted to experience life outside her town. She realizes that events in her life start showing up as charms on the bracelet Betty had left behind for her. She shows us the charm of country life and how love conquers all.

I enjoyed following Ashley as she discovers the magic of love and Christmas. I look forward to reading more from this author. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I would like to thank NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for this privilege.

This was such a wonderful, cozy Christmas novel. It's perfect for fans of Hallmark movies. I loved every word of this book!

Loved this sweet romance book, wish it was longer, now I feel I will have to look for more of Teri Wilson"s book.

This heartwarming Christmas tale is like drinking a warm cup of hot chocolate. The festive descriptions of Owl Lake during Christmas have me longing for a snow covered Christmas in upstate New York. This book is idyllic, full of charm and laugh out loud funny. Christmas Charms is the perfect holiday romance to cozy up and read this year. Now where can I find one of these magic charm bracelets??

Christmas Charms by Teri Wilson is a thoroughly enjoyable Christmas novel that perfectly captures the magic of the season.

Having left her small town of Owl Lake and her high school sweetheart behind her years ago to make a brand new life for herself in New York City, Ashley is living the dream. Or at least she thinks she is until a dinner with her boyfriend of three years goes horribly wrong. Instead of the proposal she's expecting, Ashley is hit with the hard truth that her boyfriend never wants to get married. With marriage off the table, Ashley breaks up with her boyfriend and trades her fancy trip to Paris in to spend the holidays with her parents in the town she left behind all those years ago.

On the train ride home, Ashley meets a lovely older woman named Betty who gifts her Christmas bracelet to Ashley in the hopes that Ashley will have the Christmas of her dreams. But strange things start happening to Ashley after she puts on the bracelet. First she discovers her parent's lakehouse is decorating exactly like a charm on the bracelet. Next she discovers an adorably devoted dog who looks exactly like another charm on the bracelet waiting for her on the doorstep. As Ashley begins to dip her toes into small town life again, she finds herself faced with a whirlwind of emotions every time she runs into her high school sweethearts. If Ashley opens herself up to the magic of Christmas, she just might get the HEA she longed for and discover what it's truly like to live the dream.

I didn't want to put Christmas Charms down! Teri Wilson's writing completely draws the reader in and makes them feel as if they're wrapped in a cozy blanket while enjoying hot cocoa by the Christmas tree. The first person narrative is so fitting for Ashley's personal journey and I loved watching her grow throughout the novel.

I'm already looking forward to Teri Wilson's next Hallmark novel.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Hallmark Publishing and Teri Wilson for the chance to read this digital ARC.

Did I just read a Hallmark movie in book form?!?! Why yes I did and it was everything I could have hoped for!! I should note that I’m a sucker for anything Christmas, including movies and books! So when I saw this and noticed the publisher was Hallmark I had to give it a shot!!

Thank goodness I did because I loved every part of this book!! From the sweet protagonist, to the adorable dog with the big bow around his neck, not to mention a hunky firefighter... There’s also just a touch of magic floating in the story, which is just so fitting for the sweet Christmas theme.

The writing was smooth and there were times when I thought I had accurately predicted what was going to happen, but I was pleasantly surprised instead. I know it’s not December, but this was the perfect pick me up story to give me some holiday cheer.

If you adore Hallmark movies as much as I do, you’re going to love this book!!!

Thank you so much Hallmark Publishing and Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Christmas Charms by Teri Wilson is an excellent, festive, heartwarming Christmas romance.

I so loved the plot of the charm bracelet and each charm representing a part of Ashley’s perfect Christmas when she ends up going back home for Christmas to the charming, adorable, and perfect upstate NY town of Owl Lake.

I loved everything about this book: the character cast, the location, the wonderful decorative descriptions, the festivities, and the overall plot. The concept of getting the chance to find out what one truly wants out of life and the second chance romance, especially in a winter holiday setting, is so perfect.

I loved most of all: Ashley and Aidan and the precious Fruitcake! Ashley and Aidan just fit together like pieces in a puzzle. Their chemistry and personalities just fit together, and just belong together. I loved, loved Fruitcake! He was so precious! He added to the wonderful one-liners and witty dialogue.

This is just a perfect holiday romance that I was fortunate to read at just the right time. This could easily be turned into a Hallmark Movie and also part of a series of books. I can just imagine both of those options.

5/5 stars Perfect in every way.

Thank you NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for this ARC and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.

I am posting this review to my GR and Bookbub accounts immediately and will post it to my Amazon and B&N accounts upon publication.

This is a perfect Christmas novel with a touch of magical realism. Readers who are looking for a light holiday read should give it a chance, Our protagonist Ashley goes back home from New York to a small town to find herself. II love this beautiful cover. Predictable yet adorable story.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book. I just wish it was longer. The characters live and pull you in. You can feel their joys and sorrows, and will be happy when love finally conquers all.

Firstly thank you to Hallmark Publishing for this Advanced Readers Copy *smile* . This book is set around Christmas Time and focuses on Ashley who thinks she has the perfect shot at happy ever after with her boyfriend of 3 years Jeremy which doesn’t happen because he doesn’t believe in marriage *gasp*. So she skips town where she gets into a minor mishap and gets saved by her ex boyfriend *gasp* Did I mention that there is a cool dog in it too?

I had the pleasure of reading an Advance Reader Copy of this “magical Christmas novel”. It is a Hallmark book so I will have to keep my eye open for the movie.
Think Christmas, romance and recipes in one book.

Christmas Charms is a cute romance story that will have you excited for the Christmas season as well as leave you believing in Christmas miracles.
Ashley hasn’t been home to Owl Lake in years and when she arrives for Christmas, mysterious things begin to happen and it all starts with a mysterious charm bracelet, with different Christmas charms, that is stuck on her wrist. All of the occurrences that happen seem to match each charm on the bracelet. What could it all mean?
I really liked that this book wasn’t just a romance story, but a story that reminds you of the love of a family and the friends that are in your life.

I graciously received an advance e-copy from Netgalley for review. All opinions are my own.

There is only one word to describe this book...magical! Ashley indeed has the Christmas of her dreams, thanks to a mysterious lady on the train and a special charm bracelet.

If you loved the movie 'Sweet Home Alabama,' you're going to fall in love with this Christmas-themed version of the same plot. I loved the movie, and it's a very sweet book! Can't wait until they make this one into a movie. :)

Christmas Charms is an adorable Christmas story that is full of Christmas magic, romance and above all, finding yourself again. The main character, Ashley, ends up on a train to surprise her family for Christmas when she finds herself suddenly single and her original plans cancelled. While on the train, she is given a beautiful vintage charm bracelet that she quickly finds out is not what it seems. All of the charms are slowly coming true and her high school sweetheart, Aidan, is there to witness them all unravel. I am not going to lie, this is definitely a typical Hallmark story where you know how it is going to end, but can't help yourself from sticking around to witness it.

I do think, however, that the author did a really good job at showcasing Ashley's growth throughout all of the charm events in a way where she doesn't lose her passion for vintage jewelry or her career in order to find love. I also loved the inner monologue for Ashley. It felt natural and kept a smile on my face throughout the entire book, as I could see myself thinking the same things as her. One of my favorite parts about this book though, was the dog named Fruitcake. Like how cute of a name is that? It is freaking adorable!

Overall, I am a sucker for anything Christmas related and this is a perfect addition to anyone's Christmas collection. It is full of Christmas magic and romance, which to me equals a wonderful Christmas book! I hope Hallmark decides to make this into a movie one day!

Disclosure: I received a complimentary eARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes. I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me this opportunity!
