Wrapped Up in Christmas Joy - Book Review

 

Wrapped Up In Christmas Joy by Janice Lynn 

 

Sophie is a bundle of Christmas joy. She loves her small town, her quilt shop, family, and friends. When she finds a journal of a tormented Marine, she knows exactly what he needs, a friend, and Sophie vows that she will share her joy of Christmas with him. When Sophie returns his journal, she is taken aback when he tells her he does not need any friends. Maybe what this Marine needs is one of Sophie’s veterans quilts to wrap him in love.

Cole Aaron is a retired marine trying to settle into civilian life in small town Pine Hill. He keeps to himself and has few friends because he is still battling his nightmares and regrets of his time in the marines. He does not need some bubbly, happy bundle of Joy feeling sorry for him.

Sophie and Cole are quite the couple. She is relentless in her pursuit of becoming Cole’s friend, and Cole is relentless to keep his distance so he cannot hurt anyone else. With the help of the “Butterflies” in town, it seems that Sophie may get her way after all.

I adored this Christmas story by Janice Lynn. It was so heartfelt and heartwarming. You could feel the joy in Sophie, and the pain and suffering in Cole. They were both strong and brilliantly written characters. It was also fun to meet the other residents of Pine Hill and I hope there will be more books in the series! Thank you so much to the author Janice Lynn, Hallmark Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was amazing!
