Booklist Review
All Riley Erickson wants for Christmas is a decent, honest man to love. Or, in other words, someone completely different from her cheating ex-fiancé, who dumped Riley for her bridesmaid right before the wedding. All Jo Wilton wants for Christmas is for the U.S. Navy to give Jo her husband back. Now that they are expecting their first child, she would really like to have him around to help out and not be on a submarine somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. All Noel Bijou wants is to be able to buy the house she is currently renting before the house-flipping real-estate shark eyeing the property scoops it out from under her. However, when the three friends decide to visit the mall before the holidays, they never expect that telling Santa their wishes might result in their dreams coming true. Roberts, author of the popular Icicle Falls series, whips up a sweet standalone romantic treat for her fans that is brimming over with holiday warmth and heartfelt charm.--Charles, John Copyright 2016 Booklist
Library Journal Review
Riley's fiancé has called off the wedding; the house that Noel loves and wants to buy is being sold to a flipper; and Jo is dealing with a late-term pregnancy and a stubborn military husband, so heading to the mall to tell Santa what they want for Christmas seemed like a good idea at the time. After all, what could it hurt? But when Santa's strange predictions start coming true, the three friends begin to wonder if he wasn't the real deal, after all. VERDICT Christmas wishes become reality for three young women in a charming holiday tale that has a perky chick lit feel and will appeal equally to women's fiction and romance fans. Just plain fun, with a dusting of magic for good measure! Roberts (Home on Apple Blossom Road) lives on a lake in -Washington State. © Copyright 2016.
