The story is part of Santa’s Radio Christmas Romance series, and while it is an ongoing series with different couples, each book can be read as a stand-alone. Without rehashing previous storylines, there is enough mention of the former couples, to give the reader insight into how they came about. In this story, Junie and Mason will both hear the radio play—but before it goes too far, he pulls back and breaks her heart.Juniper ‘Junie’ Harper is now running the Harper Inn that has been in her family. Her grandparents had it, then her mother, and now she is the owner. It is located in Montana and is known for its warm hospitality, delightful staff, and the chef, Mason Devries and his staff who serve culinary dishes that rival famous restaurants.Junie: I was so sure the radio’s magic was real—Boone: It is real.Junie: I’ve always known it would play for me.

I thought the radio played for you and Mason.Junie: It did.Grace: But?Junie: It played every day. The same year the radio played for you, the same year it brought you two together, Mason and I found ourselves standing in front of the radio. Every night we got a little closer. He even kissed me, and I thought for sure this was it. This was the start of my festive fairytale. It’s like the instant Mason suspected I was hoping the radio playing meant more for us, he stopped talking to me. He kept his distance. It’s like he can’t stand me.The story revolves around Santa, wishes, and a magic old radio that plays and brings couples together. That is what happened in the first two books—and what Junie wants for herself more than anything else. She is losing her faith in Santa, and in the radio, and is ready to give up and change things around. What happens when Santa learns of her disbelief in the magic of Christmas?“You’ve been one of my most staunch supporters for a long time. Don’t lose that faith in me—in people. In him. Merry Christmas, Junie.”I loved this sweet clean Christmas story of memories, dreams, hopes, and wishes. The friendship of Mason and Junie will hit a snag, but with a bit of Christmas magic, they will find more awaits them.
