Christmas Tree Wishes by Kelsey Hodge
5.0
Christmas Tree Wishes by Kelsey Hodge is a sweet holiday romance.
A trip to Thailand and Puket is the starting point of the story. Archie and River are travelling around the world and meet there. They start a relationship with some rules. They are not going to share contact information or where they are from. Because of their accents they assume that they are from the UK, but that’s all.
At Christmas time they decide to go back home, separately. They say their goodbyes, heartbroken because they know this is a lot more than just a fling, and knowing that they may not meet again.
Archie’s parents have returned to their hometown some years after leaving it. When he arrives there, he wants to see the Christmas tree in the Main square, a tree that was his favorite Christmas memory because when he was a kid he used to spend a lot of time there. But the tree is not there, the city council said it was too expensive to maintain. He’s really upset and decides to start visiting each home to ask people if they’d like to have the Christmas tree to keep with the tradition.
While doing his inquiry he meets River again. What are the odds to live in the same village? It was only one week ago when they last saw each other and they cannot deny their feelings. The problem is that Archie is not out to his family and friends and he cannot be who he was when they met.
They start working together to return the tree by Christmas Eve. This closeness helps Archie realize that he wants everything with River, to be able to be himself not only when they are alone at home but also in front of everyone.
This is a very romantic story with a little bit of angst and some sexy moments. I liked it and I fell in love with Archie and River. They are really sweet and cute.
I recommend this novella.
I received an ARC from the author and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation.
