Holiday Hope (Holiday Express Book 1) by Shanna Hatfield – Review by Amy Brennan

Holiday Hope by Shanna Hatfield
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I would hop on the Holiday Express called Hope every day! Their cute little settlement of Holiday sounds like a little slice of heaven, like where my family and I reside. If only we had the plethora of pine trees to pick from for our Christmas tree, like Cora Lee, Jace, and Grant did, that would really make our holidays that much more memorable. The author recreates the magic of the holidays in this beautifully written novel, and I for one, was able to really picture the essence of their spirit, their community, and the love that Elk Creek Ranch holds. What’s a romance with a little bump here and there, which is where Jude comes into play, read and see!

The slow burning romance was well done, and although you had an idea of how this adventure would hit a troubling part, it still has its readers holding their breath, really hoping for the happily ever after that the Coleman’s had earned. I absolutely adore Cora Lee, and her openness to new beginnings, as well as all those that reside on the ranch. I was sad when this story came to an end, as it was a beautifully written escape from reality. I feel as though my steps are a little lighter, and my outlook a little brighter as we get closer to another difficult COVID-19 Christmas. Thank you, I cannot wait to read the rest of this series, highly recommend!
