Wrpapped up in Christmas Joy

Mostly I did like the book but I did get somewhat tired of Sophie being so everlasting happy. Seemed like she was always on top of things.

Great book with lots of surprises.

Loved this book. The story was well written and full of surprises. It was hard to put it down. I really enjoyed all the characters and the descriptions really brought them to life for me. The Christmas wedding was adorable with Henry. The surprise ending was really good.

Great Christmas read

Loved this story!I fiund the characters realistic, funny, with real flaws. The storyline flowed easily, keeping me wanting to read on.As the daughter of a Navy Veteran, I also appreciate the real portrayal of PTSD, and introducing Quilts of Valor

A sweet Christmas story featuring quilting and firefighters.

This is the second book I've read by Ms. Lynn. Her stories are very Hallmark-like with lots of snow and Christmas in them. This one is a little slow in parts, but I did end up liking it a lot more than her previous book (Wrapped Up in Christmas) which was also set in Pine Hill, Kentucky. Both books feature a group called Quilts of Valor who award homemade patriotic-themed quilts to military members. I really liked the quilting aspect of this story a lot. Quilting books are a lot of fun.
