Christy's Reviews > A Christmas by the Sea

3 stars

This is a Christmas novella that reads a lot like a Hallmark movie, and I didn’t mind it at all. It was a story about a struggling single mom named Wendy and her son Jackson temporarily moving to her family’s seaside cottage she has just inherited. She has every intention of fixing it up and selling it quickly to help them get back on their feet, but both Jackson and Wendy end up falling in love with the cottage and the town it’s in.

This was a sweet story and I enjoyed it quite a bit, but the ending was really abrupt and the proclamations of love came out of nowhere for me. The romance was unbelievable, but the story itself was otherwise good.
