I don’t think that you can ever go wrong with a Christmas Hallmark book! Sophie and Cole were so sweet together at I was rooting for them the whole time! If you are looking for a lighthearted, sweet romance than this is definitely for you!

Wrapped Up in Christmas was the best book to kick off December. I loved this book, the characters, the town, the Christmas celebrations, and joy were all incredible. The story is heartwarming, witty, and discusses a very important topic so well. Pine Hill sounds so picturesque, covered in snow with decorations everywhere. All the characters were relatable, realistic, and hilarious. The Butterflies will forever be my favourite characters. I love Hallmark movies however, I think reading Hallmark books is now my favourite thing!


Thank you Netgalley and Hallmark Publishing for this ARC in exchange for a review, on shelves now!

What a wonderful series I have found! Wrapped Up in Christmas Joy by Janice Lynn was a wonderful Christmas story.

I liked the more serious tone this book had with Cole's past as a Marine. It still maintained the wonderful Christmas joy that Hallmark stories always offer. Nicely balanced. Sophie reminded me a lot of myself. She loves being there for others and is a young quilter. I would also be the one to find a journal at a church sale and try to return it thinking it was accidentally donated. The tension between Cole and Sophie was very well done and made for some grip that kept me reading. I was interested to know how they were going to handle being together. While I knew they would fall in love it was how they were going to get there that I found fun and interesting. The character development was well done.

I think I found a new favourite Christmas series. A wonderful enemies to lovers story perfect for the holidays.

I really hope Hallmark will make this series into a series of movies.

I received an eARC from Hallmark Publishing through NetGalley. All opinions are 100% my own.

A sweet Christmas story of Cole, an ex-marine who has joined the fire department and Sophie, who runs the local quilt shop. As a quilter I really liked this story and the characters. Would recommend.

I really loved this Christmas Story!! I think every great christmas book should be made into a movie! I loved this book so much I bought print copy!

This wasn’t a hit for me. I couldn’t connect with any of the characters and it didn’t feel as light as the books I’m used to from Hallmark Pub. Maybe I’ll come back to it on Christmas time though!

What a wonderful, heartwarming, small town Christmas love story. When Sophie finds Cole's military journal in a box of donated books, she feels she must return it to it to him. Cole does not want the journal as it elicits memories of a time he'd rather forget. Now Sophie, he may just want to keep. A definite must-read.
Thank you Janice Lynn, Hallmark Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me an advance copy for my honest feedback.

Wrapped Up in Christmas Joy was a heartwarming story about Christmas. This sweet read gives hope, and love when it had been lost by Cole. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Sophie and Cole, and would recommend this book to others.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher, and this is my fair and honest review.

This author is new to me, but I can't wait to read more of her books! This warm-hearted Christmas book involves Sophie Davis who takes an interest in Cole, a local firefighter, who's also an ex-Marine. Unfortunately, Sophie has her work cut out for her as Cole tries to push her away every chance he gets, believing he doesn't deserve someone to care about him, due to his military past. You will not want to put this book down as you watch all the hurdles Sophie tries to knock down to prove how wrong Cole is!
What a wonderful read!

I was happy that Hallmark and NetGalley approved my request to read the preview of Wrapped Up in Christmas Joy.

This book has two separate romance stories involved. Will Sophie and Cole end up being a couple? Whose wedding will take place? I love the winter vibes of the book. This will definitely put you in the Christmas spirit.

As you continue to read the book, you will understand the full aspect of the front cover. I think the quilt could have been displayed on the center of the book cover.

I would read this book again.

One of my favourite Christmas traditions is to read Christmas stories. It is one of my simple pleasures during the festive season. Christmas Wishes is a fell-good Christmas story that also incorporates some heavy subjects. A light story but also thought-provoking. Very enjoyable.

A sweet Christmas story. Exactly the type of story you'd expect from Hallmark. What else do you need besides Christmas and a bit of romance. At times the story was a bit predictable but isn't that why we like Hallmark stories.

Christmas, quilt shop, fireman, Marine — what
better ingredients for a satisfying love story?

Sophie runs a quilt shop with her sister in a small Kentucky town. Cole is a firefighter new to town. Its Christmas and the effervescent Sophie meets the reticent ex-Marine, Cole, and there is a strong attraction that she grasps with all her being and he resists with as much resistance as he can muster, afraid his PTSD will somehow hurt her.

This is a fun story — just as fun as the one last year from this author. If you love romance and Christmas stories this will not disappoint.

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion

I was in the mood for a cute holiday book, and this absolutely delivered! I noticed that it was published by Hallmark and that doesn't surprise me. It absolutely feels like a Hallmark Christmas movie in a novel! So cozy and cute! The chemistry between Sophie and Cole is absolutely incredible! I fell in love with both of them instantely. Different from other novels in this category, Wrapped Up In Christmas Joy is not just instant sweetness, but also provides a bit more depth and emotion, which I personally really enjoyed.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with an eArc in return for a honest review.
