Book Overview

A Deep Haven wedding at Christmas? With snow glistening in the lane, sleigh bells ringing, and all the world a winter wonderland-magical, right?

Or maybe not, because the snowstorm of the century has buried their small town, and as Vivien Calhoun and Boone Buckam fight the sleet, snow, and ice, just about everything can-and does-happen to skid their big day into the ditch. It'll take all their friends-and a few strangers-to turn this Christmas...

Such a Fun Read

Once Upon a Winter Wonderland is a fun collection of four novellas, set in Deep Haven, written by four different authors. The collection of stories focuses on a winter wedding for Vivienne and Boone, with each novella being written from a different point of view of different characters in the book. They all tie together to make such a fun story. This book has it all…a stressed out bride, a nervous groom, a grinch, a Christmas loving “elf”, a married couple worried about their future, an elderly man who has trouble letting go of the past, a pair of strangers who become the best of friends, disasters, disappointments, and best of all, happy endings. I was provided a copy of the book from the author/publisher. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

such a fun Christmas anthology

This is the best Christmas anthology I have read this season. So much fun! I loved how the four stories tie into the big overarching theme of Vivien and Boone's epic Christmas wedding. In the midst of a crazy snowstorm, a missing Mustang, an accidental fire, and a terrible misunderstanding, these authors bring to life an unforgettable wedding celebration in the unforgettable town of Deep Haven. In "A Beautiful Sight", Vivien and Boone learn what it truly means to trust each other and be all in, despite flaws and imperfections. This story digs deeper into what it means to pledge one's life to another while in the throes of heady love - it compliments the last story "Sleigh Bells Ring" where Bob and Marilyn, Stella's parents, relearn what it means to be committed and all in after more than 40 years of marriage and ministry. I loved Duke and Zuri's love story in "We're Happy Tonight" and how Zuri's true beauty turned Duke's grinch-like heart into soft malleable one. "Snow is Glistening" finally has Romeo finding his perfect match in Stella - where sense of abandonment, inadequacy, and fear of disappointing others melt away as they learn to help each other. It's a must-read for this Christmas season. I received the book from the publisher via JustRead Publicity Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.

Winter Magic

The perfect wedding...it doesn't exist. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong describes Vivien and Boone's wedding plans to get married on Christmas Eve. Each of the stories in this book took off from where the last one finished with hilarious moments in each one. It starts with Vivien and Boone and trying to get everything on Vivien's list done to have the perfect wedding. This leads into Zuri and Duke, she loves Christmas and he is the Grinch but by working together they mark one of the items off of the list and have lots of fun along the way. Then there are Romeo and Stella, the "adopted" son of the Christensen family who is trying to prove himself worthy and Stella a guest who is running from her past/future and their adventures were some of the best. And last but not least are Stella's parents, Pastor Bob and Marilyn, Pastor Bob is trying to avoid Christmas and his calling and Marilyn is trying to rekindle their marriage, but God has them exactly where He wants them for the conclusion of the book. Deep Haven is a place where you can go to rest, find adventure, romance, and meet new friends.
