The Christmas Swap - Book Review

 

The Christmas Swap by Melody Carlson

 Emma Daley is a substitute teacher and an aspiring musician. She would love to stay home this Christmas, but her best friend Gillian’s family has done a house swap, so she is off to the Colorado Rockies. She hopes there is no family drama this year like in previous years or that her friend Gillian tries to play matchmaker.

Tyler Prescott is a famous songwriter and is not happy when his family talks him into giving up his home in a house swap so that they can spend Christmas in Arizona. When Tyler forgets something at the house he has to return, but he is not counting on being there when his house guests arrive or hearing a sweet voice and being intrigued by one of of the guests.

Tyler tries to hide his identity while getting to know Emma. Emma is busy trying to fit into the family dynamics and is excited when she can go on a little adventure with her new ski instructor. Will Emma find out the truth about Tyler? Will Tyler be able to keep his cover?

What a sweet romantic story. I loved all the family dynamics and twists to the storyline. The characters all had such different personalities and it really added to the story. I really enjoyed reading this book and I am looking forward to purchasing more books by this author. Thank you so much to the author Melody Carlson, Revell Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was fabulous! All opinions expressed for this review are unbiased and entirely my own.
