Wow! This was completely different than what I expected from Debbie Macomber! What a great read! Such fun! I did not plan on a trip down the Amazon! This was great! Thanks for a great read!

Everly is really really unhappy about taking a vacation and really really unhappy when it turns out she's on an Amazon expedition rather than a cruise ship with a spa. Asher Adams, however, isn't unhappy at all; he's a naturalist who loves nothing more than making people like Everly love the unusual flora and fauna of the region. Macomber readers know these two are going to fall for one another in a sweet way (no steam here) and that there will be some conflict. In this case, it's whether Everly and Asher can meet in the middle of their very different lives. You will root for them. This has humor as well as a big heart. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. This makes for a good cheery weekend read,

Thank you NetGalley fo providing me with this ARC. Debbis Macomber has written another Christmas book. It’s not all that a Christmas-y, but it does take place in December. Hard working co-owner of an online realty company, Everly is forced to take December off. Her incompetent assistant makes an Amazon adventure reservation out of spite, instead of booking Everly a relaxing cruise. She does meet someone - a handsome young naturalist. This is due to be published October 13, 2020, it’s an easy reading a Christmas romance.

An another great book by Debbie Macomber!
Everly Lancaster is a rising star in her profession. Stressed out her boss insists she take off the month of December and her assistant books her a cruise. Everly thinks she is going a luxury cruise, however; her assistant bent on revenge booked her a guided Amazon cruise. No cell phone service, no internet, no contact, will Everly survive?
Asher Adams is a naturalist, loves the Amazon and wants to convince Everly this cruise will be one she remembers for a long.
I love and enjoy books by Debbie Macomber. Her characters are real, the setting is on my bucket list and Christmas is my favorite time of the year.

Every had devoted her whole life to her real estate company. One day her partner and her secretary planned a month long vacation with a cruise at the beginning. Her cruise to the Amazon River is doomed from the start. The onboard biologist,Asher, is very taken with her.
As the cruise goes on Everly is reminded of all the things she has missed with her large family. When the time comes to go back to work she is not sure what she wants to do.
Debbie MaComber has not disappointed and has given us a fun new holiday read.

A very different Christmas story.
A cruise on the Amazon, an assortment of mishaps and a boy meets girl. Doesn’t sound like Christmas does it? Well finally Christmas is introduced! It is a nice fluffy story but it does end
abruptly.

It’s a Debbie Macomber Christmas book. Throw in a dog or two and it’s basically the Mellie Claus Trifecta. Also, the MC share my oldest daughter’s name, so it has to be good, right?

The MC is Everly, but her legal name is Daisy. During the book, we get both names being used. This wasn’t difficult to keep up with, but just kind of annoying. I guess it’s like she was a different person in the Amazon (Daisy), but everyone would call her Daisy, but the author still called her Everly. I wish they would have just stuck with Daisy instead of Daisy/Everly.

The best part about this was that Asher knew his Amazonian stuff y’all. I had misconceptions (ex. piranhas) and after reading, I would burn the keyboard to google, and it was nice to see the effort of research that was taken.

This is another “oh, so we’re falling in love now.. now?” books. One minute they’re on the boat, then some drastic changes happen. I am 100% sure I said out loud, “well THAT escalated quickly” It wasn’t an organic or believable love. It may because the book is so short that it had to be crammed in such little time.

This was a very quick and quirky read. This reminded me of Christmas Vacation + Home Alone, with a hint of, dare I say, Frozen? I do. I do dare. Thank you Ballantine & NetGalley for the gifted copy. This is out Oct. 13.

Daisy has been encouraged by her partner in an on-line realty company, to take a month off. Her assistant has booked her on an Amazon river cruise. It gets off to a bad start when she discovers it is not the luxury cruise she expected. However, the naturalist, Asher, who guides the tours, helps Daisy when she reacts negatively to a mosquito bite and nurses her back to health. Their friendship grows into something more than casual friendship but their current lives are not compatible for the relationship to go any further. Is there a solution?

The description of the Amazon environment is vivid. The characters come alive and are so likeable. A wonderful holiday story. Debbie Macomber has given us a delightful story.

Jingle All The Way will put you into the Christmas spirit as a workaholic is forced to take a vacation. It's not what she was lead to believe it to be but found after awhile she was enjoying herself. Falling in love helped.. You'll have to read it to see how this rocky romance ends.

A sweet holiday story. Daisy was a workaholic before she went on an unwanted cruise. Asher is the tour director for the cruise. These two spend plenty of time getting to know each other and falling in love. Family and faith are important to both of them and is what helps them to come terms with how they want to continue on with their lives in the future.

Jingle All The Way by Debbie Macomber is a delightful read. Everly (real name Daisy) and her business partner Jack had started an on line real estate company and Everly was a workaholic. She had already lost a relationship because of the hours she kept. Everly did the majority of the work why Jack was pretty laid back. Annette was her personal assistant but also Jack’s niece and she was horrible at her job. Everly was ready to get rid of her but Jack was against it. So Jack convinced Everly she needed to take a month off to relax and he had Annette book it. Annette had book a cruise so Everly was getting packed rather quickly and thinking of the men she might meet on this luxury cruise. No way Annette had booked her on an Amazon cruise! Everly meets Asher the cruise naturalist and quite handsome. Then the fun begins with poor Everly’s klutziness.
When the cruise is over Everly heads to her family home in Indiana for Christmas and of course Asher tells her the relationship can’t work because he doesn’t like the big city of Chicago and she is a business woman with her own company. I love how Everly starts building a better bond with her two older sisters and her younger twin brothers. I am not going to give anymore tidbits away about this book except you need to grab it to see what her siblings do to Asher! Debbie Macomber books are so enjoyable and especially love the Christmas ones.
I did receive this as an ARC for an honest review.

3.5 stars

I have long been a fan of Debbie Macomber, like since I was a kid and used to steal my grandmother's copies of her books. So I knew kind of what to expect going into this book. I found that the characters were a little flat for me as opposed to normal. and I feel like their romance wasn't really believable until the end. I find that the conflict in this one was kind of unnecessary. Overall this probably wasn't my favorite book by her. However, If you are looking for a quick, sweet, well-written read then this might be a great choice for you. I just felt it was a little lack-luster for my tastes. But I will for sure read more of her works because I enjoy her writing.

Thank you Netgalley and Ballantine Books for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Jingle All the Way by Debbie Macomber delivered everything I expected! Debbie Macomber is an expert romance writer that brings the love and feels to every book she writes.

Everly is a woman who is running a successful internet real estate company with a partner who does very little. To make things worse her incompetent assistant is her partner's niece. After a confrontation between the assistant and Everly, her business partner asks her to take a month long vacation from the business so that she can relax and not be so stressed out. Everly is pushed into taking a luxury cruise booked by her assistant. Except the assistant takes revenge booking her a ticket on the Amazon Explorer, a cruise to explore the rainforest in Brazil.

Macomber sets up the perfect meeting of Everly and Asher on this cruise and their friendship unfolds with humor, embarrassing situations and sweet romantic moments. This book is everything I wanted and needed with the Christmas holiday as part of the setting and a whirlwind romance along with it! I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a light, feel good read that will put you in the holiday mood.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

If you want a great holiday read look no further than Jingle All the Way! What starts out as a book about a workaholic who is forced to take the entire month of December off and get away from the big city turns into a book about finding oneself and figuring out what’s important in life. All during Christmas of course. I love that this book made me believe in second chances again and gave me hope for the future and what’s to come!

A Christmas story with a twist—most of the book is set in the Amazon Rainforest! Although this book contains a heartfelt romance, it is also about finding out what’s most important, prioritizing what truly makes someone happy! With its exotic setting and endearing characters, this is a great book to read at Christmas or any time of year!

Another lovely Christmas story by Debbie Macomber. A stressed out Everly aka Daisy is sent on a “cruise” to decompose for the month of December. She meets Adler and he proves to be a kind, generous person and the story goes on from there. At times it didn’t even seem to be a Christmas story, so pick up thIs one anytime. It will make you feel warm and cozy.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I always love Debbie Macomber's books and she never disappoints in the happy endings! Everly (whose real name is Daisy) is a middle child and feels she is not like her siblings. She is a workaholic and learns that her assistant books her a vacation on a cruise ship...down the Amazon River with no internet, tv or phones. She meets Asher the Naturalist onboard and quickly sparks fly between the two but both question if they can change their lives for each other. Another great read with a charming love story!

Asher and Daisy met on an Amazon cruise that her assistant put her on as she thought she was getting back at her, Daisy hated it at first (especially since she was so sick). Asher got to know her and gradually fell in love with her. He really thought it didn't matter as she lived iin Chicago and he did tours in the Amazon. Little did they know that they could compromise and be happier than ever. A wonderful story that I enjoyed immensely.
I got this book from NetGalley for an honest review

Everly/Daisy thought that her former assistant had booked her on a luxury cruise, but it turned out that she had been booked on a rather rustic Amazon river cruise. As a workaholic executive she couldn’t imagine being unplugged for two entire weeks. Little did she know that this trip would change her life.

Asher worked as a naturalist for an Amazon River cruise line. He spent most weeks guiding tourists on tours of beautiful, yet endangered lands. His family in the U.S. had tried to get him to move back to the states and teach at a university, but he hated big cities and loved his work - until he met Everly/Daisy.

Can a workaholic executive who loves big cities and a naturalist who loves being close to nature find a way to spend their lives together after falling in love?

Very enjoyable read. While the title makes you assume this is a Christmas book, it only "feels" like Christmas towards the very end. An easy read with lovable characters.
