The Secret Santa Wishing Well by Nikki Lynn Barrett
4.0
Jacob Winston is going to pretend to be Santa over at the mall for Christmas, partly to appease his sister Ada who is very ill in the hospital. She thinks it may make a little happier during this difficult time.
When Ben Jensen sees Santa he knows exactly what he wants to wish for at Santa's Wishing Well and it's not for himself. Right away he bonds with Santa and when the next day his mom, Cheyenne takes him and his sister, Desiree, back to see Santa he knows he has found a very special Santa.
As Jacob and Cheyenne begin to get to know each other it is clear they both have feelings for each other. But as a single mom Cheyenne has more than just herself to think about and with her ex Eric showing up drunk at her house only wanting to see Ben she is very hesitant to get involved.
Jacob also has a lot on his plate with his sister's illness and his moodiness and secretiveness is holding Cheyenne back.
Will the two be able to figure everything out in time for a merry Christmas or will this Christmas be a little lonelier?
This book is a great Christmas story about the power of a wish! I absolutely loved Ben and the amazing character he was with the goodness in his heart, in spite of some of the things that went on around him. Cheyenne was an amazing mom to him and allowed his generous spirit to flourish and she helped him the best she could. I love that he made a wish for her and not for himself.
I can't imagine the struggles that Cheyenne faces with Eric and how he can not acknowledge Desiree. Cheyenne is doing an amazing job as a single mother but she deserves so much more. Jacob is so good for her but his moodiness scares Cheyenne with everything in her past with Eric. I was super sad about everything between Jacob and Cheyenne's dad and I'm glad they worked things through.
Jacob is such a good guy and I definitely felt bad at what he went through with his sister. He had his work cut out with him in dealing with Eric but I am so glad that he supported Cheyenne with everything!
I'm loving the relationship between Robin and Cheyenne and hope we get to see her story next!
