Thank you to Net Galley for the advanced copy of this book. I love RaeAnne Thayne books and I loved the Hope's Crossing series so I was so glad that this book is new to the series. This book did not disappoint! When reading this book you basically get two stories in one that ties up some loose ends for a couple of characters from the first part of the series. This book gets interesting as it embraces the difficutlies of being handicapped and how more people are becoming aware and it is being brought to the forefront after far too long the challenges these people have to deal with in their everyday life. The two main women characters in this book have both had adversities that they have dealt with in their lives and have been able to become stronger women for it. The two main male characters also have adversities both physical and emotional to get past. This is a great read which I devoured in no time at all. A great holiday story with everything you are looking for in a holiday romance!!

ALL IS BRIGHT was a heartwarming Christmas romance. Sage is an architect who specializes in making homes for people with mobility impairments. She is tasked with redesigning a home for Mason, a former baseball player whose wife was killed in the helicopter crash that left him paralyzed. Mason still has a lot of anger about his disability and although he is attracted to Sage, at first he pushes her away. There are lots of characters in this one and I found the storylines a little hard to follow at first (I didn’t realize this wasn’t a standalone when I checked it out from the library.) Still I wound up highly enjoying it. 4/5 stars.

I always look forward to reading a story by Raeanne. She easily brings the story alive from the first page until the end. She shares and showcases the true-life emotions of all of the characters. She takes the time to fully understand the characters. I love the journey of friendship between Sage and Mason. A single dad is also one of my easy one clicks stories. I also love the holiday seasonal cover. I read them all year long. Can easily see that she really loves to write heart felt stories.

I always enjoy RayAnne Thayne's romances. When I'm in the mood for a Hallmark-feeling romance, it's a good bet this author's books will hit the spot. All is Bright is somehow the first book I've read that's set in Hope's Crossing, and I'm not sure how I missed the others. The town is everything I look for in this kind of romance. The characters are quirky and fun, and they all come together when needed. Mason is grumpy, and Sage is full steam ahead and all kinds of everything he needs. There were some elements that were hard for me personally, but that's my own thing and no reflection on the author. We also hear from another couple in this one, and I feel like maybe that part was a bit distracting from the main storyline. Other than that, this one is an entertaining holiday read.
