A Cliché Christmas by Nicole Deese

Book Description:

Writing happy endings is easy. Living one is the hard part.

Georgia Cole—known in Hollywood as the “Holiday Goddess”—has made a name for herself writing heartwarming screenplays chock-full of Christmas clichés, but she has yet to experience the true magic of the season. So, when her eccentric grandmother volunteers her to direct a pageant at Georgia’s hometown community theater, she is less than thrilled. To make matters worse, she’ll be working alongside Weston James, her childhood crush and the one man she has tried desperately to forget.

Now, facing memories of a lonely childhood and the humiliation of her last onstage performance, seven years earlier, Georgia is on the verge of a complete mistletoe meltdown. As Weston attempts to thaw the frozen walls around her heart, Georgia endeavors to let go of her fears and give love a second chance. If she does, will she finally believe that Christmas can be more than a cliché?

Her first series wowed me, and she continues to not only impress, but she also continues to inspire and captivate readers with her latest release. This novel, started out as darling but it continued to build and escalate on so many levels, culminating in a very good read.

I absolutely love novels with well written characters and well developed relationships. Good dialogue and interactions are key. And Deese has a way of doing all of that, while steadily thrilling you sweetly, and building a momentum in the story that does not leave you disappointed. In fact, when finished with this novel, I was happily grinning and completely satisfied!

Now, going beyond this well crafted story, characters and relationships, Deese pulls you in to recognizing some deeper truths. Faith and love lessons, that speak to both our spirit and our heart. Doing this, while keeping the romance both sweet and steamy is quiet a feat and she does it so smoothly. I was touched on many levels while reading this novel and completely blessed by it! I cannot wait to see what she is working on next!
