All Hearts Come Home for Christmas

This wasn't bad, until It ended so quickly I feel like the author left out the middle. I get that it was a novella but it really left me wanting

A truly unique and charming twist on A Christmas Carol...rather than the ghosts from her past, present, and future, Jillian was presented with the gift of seeing, through assistance her own Christmas guide, those she has touched with her unselfish kindness...traits natural to her loving nature. There is so much packed into this short, but sweet story, it's hard to reach the end and leave the lovely life of Jillian Magee.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

I don't know but I have the impression that all Christmas' books I read this year are focusing on an important thematic: home and the importance of coming home for Christmas.
Home is extremely important, because it means love, friendship, tenderness, good values, the place where we belong and also the one where we can find certainties.
Christmas is a special moment in which we can feel much more these feelings being all reunited.
But home can also means coming to a town for trying to re-encounter someone loved and then lost in and with the time.

Very beauty and relaxing cover, in the perfect Christmas' style, All Hearts Come Home for Christmas - A Christmas miracle just waiting to be unwrapped - by Annalisa Russo is a beautiful romantic novel, very well written, plenty of characters, life, dialogues, and I guess that it is a bit the representation of Russo's Italian's family for what I read in her biography, pretty numerous.

Jillian is a teacher and she lives in Minnesota, not exactly one of the warmest States of the USA, but although Christmas is coming to town there is not yet snow in her little corner of the world called Green Earth. Little village, she has various good friends, the most impressive one Mel with her husband in his fourth mission in Iraq. Strong story, you will see.
Jillian loves this period of the year, Christmas, cookies, gifts, the general atmosphere of excitement and happiness.

This Christmas brings with it various and unexpected "gifts:" the most important one the re-arrival of Jillian's biggest love, Tristan.

Jillian feels real panic when she hears that his ex boyfriend, Tristan, a very famous band musician from that same town is returning home after that he decided to leave the band.

Tristan doesn't have anyone too close in term of relatives for deciding to stopping by in Green Earth for some days but surely he could be there for Jillian.
Jillian understands it and she also understand the "peril" of it, because Tristan has been his only real love.
What to do? And what will happen?
Tristan's life of course has had more than an evolution and so he won't be alone in this trip. With him also his little daughter, and to him it's more important the acceptance of his daughter first of all than not of his return for trying to re-conquer Jillian's heart.

Enjoy this beautiful book! plenty of surprises, love, friendship and happy ends :-) perfect for the approaching Christmas' Time.

Highly recommended!

I thank NetGalley for this eBook.

I requested this book because I was attracted by the sci-fi&fantasy /Romance categorization. The fantasy side is a bit on the backside and there is a strong Christian side.
A nice read for holiday time even if not exactly my cup of tea.
Recommended for winter time when a feel-good book is needed.
Many thanks to Netgalley and he Wild Rose Press, Inc

This is a wonderful book. Well written and so different from the festive reads out there. Loved the tone and message it sent. Perfect for when you need time out from busy christmas lives. Loved the writters tone and style.

Enjoyed this Christmas romance immensely. Well written with a good plot. Enjoyed the author’s writing and look forward to reading more of her books.

Interesting story, to a point, about Jillian, a public school math teacher, and Tristian, her old friend and ex-rock star. There were more parts I liked than disliked, but the"dreams" with the ghosts (think Dickens or It's a Wonderful Life) was a little distracting. Didn't like the first couple of times, and tended to skim over the rest. Wished there was more on the romance, because what was there was cute. Loved the little Sophie, and wished for more of her an cranky Buster. Good story, but could have been stronger. Would still recommend, as it is a nice light Christmas story.

This is a nice Christmas romance with no great surprises.
A easy read for Christmas.

What a wonderful Christmas story about Jilly, a young teacher who is disappointed in how her Holiday is about to turn out. Her parents are going on a retirement cruise, her brother has a new baby and can't travel back to Minnesota and her boyfriend dumps her to vacation without her. When she wakes up one night to see an angel standing over her she fears she is losing her mind. Melah , her guardian angel can't decide if she likes to look like Oprah or a construction worker shows Jilly how her small actions and thoughtfulness have changed lives in their small town. When Jilly's old boyfriend shows up her life seems to be complete. Very subtle Christian values throughout the book, this is a real winner. Ends with the distinct possibility of a sequel, can't wait.

This was a really cute little Christmas novella and Just perfect for a cozy afternoon it a modern take on a classic Christmas story.I enjoyed it and really liked Jilly all she wants is a proper Christmas but her brothers not coming home and her parents have decided on a cruise and her boyfriend dumps her.When she wakes up to a guardian angel she thinks she has lost her mind.I look forward to reading more from Annalisa in the future
