Inheritance for Christmas

Rate this book
A sweet small-town romance where love and a Christmas tree farm need saving.
Inheriting my grandparents’ beloved Christmas tree farm was supposed to be a dream come true. But when I arrive in the charming small town of Holly Ridge, I quickly discover the farm is in serious trouble, and it’s up to me to save it.

Enter Blake Markham—the rugged handyman who’s been helping my family for years. He’s the strong, silent type, but behind those blue eyes and flannel shirts is a heart as weathered as the farm itself. As we work side by side to bring Holly Forest Christmas Tree Farm back to life, sparks fly in ways I didn’t expect.

But can I trust my bruised heart to someone like Blake? With the pressure of keeping my grandparents’ legacy alive, and my growing feelings for Blake, I’m torn between staying safe or risking it all for love.

This is a clean romance. It is part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone.

Avery inherits her grandparents Christmas tree farm. She decides to keep it and stay where she was the happiest. Blake is a local handyman that has helped fix things around the property. Avery finds out the property is in financial trouble. Can she save her legacy? Can Blake help her?

This is a cute story that has great characters. We also see how past experiences can color our current thinking. I love the Christmas theme. This is a quick and easy read.

Inheritance for Christmas is a clean, heartwarming romance that I found difficult to put down. Avery inherits her grandparents’ Christmas tree farm which is in serious trouble. Blake, a local handyman who has helped at the farm for years, works with Avery to restore the property. Of course, they also find their way to love.

The story of Avery and Blake falling in love while also rescuing a Christmas tree farm.

I love Ruby Hill’s Christmas books. This one is not my favorite of hers though. I guess the story didn’t flow smoothly for me.
