Review of Merry Me (A Holiday Romance Novel Book 1) by Amanda Siegrist

 


From USA Today bestselling author Amanda Siegrist comes a heartwarming holiday series that will fill you with the Christmas spirit and lots of love.

He never knew a simple gift left on his porch step would mend his wounded heart.

Hiding his dislike for the holidays isn’t easy, especially when Chief Elliot Duncan meets a woman who captures his attention with one sweet smile. Lynn Carpenter is beautiful, strong-willed, and hardworking, and he doesn’t know how to return her gift that was left on his porch by mistake. As Christmas approaches, it doesn’t take much for the holiday spirit to seep in, not when Lynn makes it so effortless with her excitement. The only thing he wants for Christmas this year is her heart. But between his meddling father and the need to take care of her, something she passionately resists, he knows it won’t be that simple. He’s up for the challenge, because losing Lynn is unacceptable.

**My thoughts**
Elliott hates the holiday season because it brings back the pain of losing his mother. So he tries to avoid it at all costs. And then fate steps in and introduces him to Lynn, a struggling single mom who still tries to give as much as she can. An accidental gift turns into the greatest gift of all for these two people who have given up on love.

I found this story to be quite heartwarming, which I especially love around the Christmas season. And their relationship seems a lot longer than it actually is. Bonus points for the wonderful characters of Gabriel, Elliot's father, and Lynn's lovely daughter Laura. 

For those concerned about love scenes, there is a little open door action, but not really a big deal.

Overall, this is a sweet story where dreams come true. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
