Loved this book, It’s everything Christmas offers - snow and holly but also the true meaning of Christmas, family and friends. I read the book in one sitting as I was eager to see what happened next. Libby is a very likeable main character whose little accidents made me laugh but I really wanted her to find her happy ever after. I’m sure it’s going to be a Christmas best seller, I will be recommending it to my family and friends

A beautiful story about life, love and family. Second chances in life are hard to find but they feature prominently here as does Christmas.
I loved this book. Devoured in one day.
I recommend to anyone who loves Christmas.

I will leave a review on Amazon and B&N on Oct. 11th

Love Always, Christmas is a wonderful holiday read that you will want to read. I loved the concept of the towns in this book, the spirit of community that exist in them. Libby is struggling this holiday season and trying to save her family home, but things don't look good for that to happen. The chemistry between Libby and Adam leaves sparks from their first encounter. Can the spirit of Christmas heal hurts and feelings of betrayal. I most definitely would recommend this book to others.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Hawktale Publishing and am leaving this honest and fair review.

Karen Schaler has Christmas down pat, and each of her stories is unique in its own right! This one has all the small-town feels, with a cozy mystery, and a clean romance thrown in. There are twists and turns up to the very ending. The extras at the very end just give it that little something special, too.

Love Always, Christmas by Karen Schaler is a sweet, heartwarming story, all things Christmas! Libby is alone for her first Christmas without her mother. Her mother’s neighborhood in Seattle is everything Christmas but Libby doesn’t have the heart to decorate the house. Instead, she is in her mother’s attic looking for decorations to create a festive set for her first major client in her start-up social media production company. Looking through boxes of decorations, she comes across a Christmas card sent 20 years ago addressed to her mother and never opened. With only a first name to go on and encouragement from her friend, Tammi, she finds herself in Holly Peak, WA looking for a stranger just a couple weeks before Christmas. What she uncovers exposes lies told her throughout her life. Her parents were only children and she was an only child but will she find she actually has a family member close by? This is an easy read, heartwarming at its best. It certainly gets me in the mood for the holidays and the miracle of Christmas. I loved it and always look forward to reading another Karen Schaler book!

Thanks to Netgalley and HawkTale Publishing for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I highly recommend this book!

Love Always, Christmas by Karen Schaler is the holiday read that you will want to cozy up with on a cold day. I always marvel at Ms Schaler's ability to bring to mind the Christmas joy of a small town going all in to create holiday magic with such vivid and festive detail.

Libby and her parents always loved spending the holidays together, creating a magic that would make the holiday truly special. But things are different this year, and Libby is on her own for the very first time and in no mood for a celebration. When she finds an unopened Christmas card among her mother's things, her journey of discovery will lead her to Holly Peak, where she will renew a love of all things Christmas, and perhaps even embark on a new romance with a handsome town manager.

This is another festive and heartwarming gift from an author who is becoming synonymous with Christmas joy.

Many thanks to NetGalley and HawkTale Publishing for an ARC.

This book was everything for my Christmas loving heart. I smiled, laughed, and even teared up as I read through this story connecting with the people and the town.

I could picture the characters so clearly and the ups and downs they faced throughout the book kept me reading right to the end and gave a great excuse to listen to my Christmas playlist. It’s a journey I’ll return to every year.

Thanks to NetGalley and HawkTale Publishing for providing this eARC for my honest option.

I loved this book! It had a story which was just a joy to read, but also had such heart, and humor and an abundance of Christmas! It even made me a fan of hashtags! #TeamLoveAlwaysChristmas!

If you are looking for a good cozy Christmas read, this is the book for you.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and HawkTale Publishing for the ARC.

As always, a heartwarming and fun Christmas story from Karen Schaler. Even though it’s only September when I read this for review, I didn’t mind one bit because I enjoyed reading it. Libby has lost both her parents, her mom most recently. She has started her own marketing business and is in debt trying to save her family home. Her new neighbors have a son, Adam, that Libby meets and they couldn’t appear to be more opposite. They both end up in a small mountain town right before Christmas and are forced to stay overnight due to a snowstorm. There are a couple real twists too. You may be able to guess what happens but who cares? It’s a wonderful Christmas story. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an early copy in exchange for my honest review.

I absolutely loved this book! I was given an ARC by Netgalley & HawkTale Publishing in exchange for an honest review. These thoughts are my own opinion. ⁣

We meet Libby who is a social influencer who wants to escape Christmas this year! She has just recently lost her mom and is strictly focused on her Christmas Kitty campaign in hopes to get a new contract. Everything changes when she finds a 20 year unopened Christmas card of her mom with a woman she has never met before. Secrets start to unravel and she finds herself in the town Holly Peak. Libby meets the town manager Adam but they have a bumpy first meeting. Libby runs over Adam’s parents Christmas Santa and reindeer. While finding clues she must participate in Christmas competition to save Holly Peak from a fancy town Alpine Peaks that think tradition and classics should be the farthest thing away from Christmas!⁣

I absolutely loved Adam and Libby! The banter they had during their first interaction was hilarious. I liked the mystery element of Libby trying to find who the woman in the photo was! I loved all the Christmas traditions and the town of Holly Peak has stolen my heart! I have never read a book by Karen Schaler but after loving this ARC I have added her other books to my TBR list! I loved all the fun Christmas goodies at the back with recipes and Christmas Always list ideas! ⁣

Highly recommend you snuggle up with a cup of hot chocolate and pick this up on October 11,22.
