I love all things Hallmark and this one didn't disappoint! I did feel it was a little better than most actually. Not quite as predictable and the added Christmas magic was a nice touch. I really hope they make this one into a movie for next Christmas season. Ashley was a very fun and lovable main character. The chemistry between her and Aiden was magical as well. I recommend to anyone who loves the typical Hallmark Christmas movies. It will definitely get you in the holiday spirit!!

Christmas Charms is an adorable Christmas story that is full of Christmas magic, romance and above all, finding yourself again. The main character, Ashley, ends up on a train to surprise her family for Christmas when she finds herself suddenly single and her original plans cancelled. While on the train, she is given a beautiful vintage charm bracelet that she quickly finds out is not what it seems. All of the charms are slowly coming true and her high school sweetheart, Aidan, is there to witness them all unravel. I am not going to lie, this is definitely a typical Hallmark story where you know how it is going to end, but can't help yourself from sticking around to witness it.
I do think, however, that the author did a really good job at showcasing Ashley's growth throughout all of the charm events in a way where she doesn't lose her passion for vintage jewelry or her career in order to find love. I also loved the inner monologue for Ashley. It felt natural and kept a smile on my face throughout the entire book, as I could see myself thinking the same things as her. One of my favorite parts about this book though, was the dog named Fruitcake. Like how cute of a name is that? It is freaking adorable!
Overall, I am a sucker for anything Christmas related and this is a perfect addition to anyone's Christmas collection. It is full of Christmas magic and romance, which to me equals a wonderful Christmas book! I hope Hallmark decides to make this into a movie one day!

Firstly thank you to Hallmark Publishing for this Advanced Readers Copy *smile* . This book is set around Christmas Time and focuses on Ashley who thinks she has the perfect shot at happy ever after with her boyfriend of 3 years Jeremy which doesn’t happen because he doesn’t believe in marriage *gasp*. So she skips town where she gets into a minor mishap and gets saved by her ex boyfriend *gasp* Did I mention that there is a cool dog in it too?
I adore Teri Wilson's books, and this her newest is a beautiful, festive story that sparkles just like a charm on Ashley's bracelet. I thought some parts of this book would be predictable, and while they WERE -- other parts were not. It's perfect for a cold evening when you want a happily-ever-after with all loose ends tied up.
