Review of The Christmas Wishing Tree: An Eternity Springs Novel by Emily March
Jenna and her adopted son, Reilly, need to go off the grid, thanks to a malicious stalker, and Eternity Springs just may be the ticket to healing both their broken hearts. After all, it's where Reilly's pseudo Santa Claus is from, and Jenna's been thinking about him ever since Reilly dialed his number thinking he was reaching out to the North Pole.
Devin is a man who loves the sea. It's where he makes his livelihood and where he feels the most at home. But, still, his family lives in Eternity Springs and he visits them as often as he can. When a young boy starts calling his new replacement phone, and thinks he's talking to Santa, who is Devin to disabuse him of the notion? Even when the boy starts telling him he wants a daddy for Christmas, which is something Devin is pretty sure he'll never be, nor something he can promise Reilly that Santa can give him.
The Christmas Wishing Tree is a charming, feelgood holiday-ish tale. It's got all the good things the holidays are known for - love, healing, family time, and Santa, and it's got the added bonus of an interesting concurrent suspense plot. Although it's a clean (fade to black) romance, the meat of the relationship between Jenna and Devin is more than enough to make up for a lack of steam. Add in all the wonderful secondary characters, and what you've got in The Christmas Wishing Tree is a sweet, good old-fashioned holiday love story.
